Any home miners who intermittently plug in run into this?

Antminer S9 with Braiins OS+ firmware. Usually plug in at night and unplug when I’m gone at work, no issues over past year.

Was gone last week and now can’t connect to the miner. IP address is correct and router status says online via Ethernet. Even have the green normal flashing but IP address in my browser (tried 3) says unreachable…so can’t configure or see the miner, or connect to a pool.

Any suggestions?

I've found miners don't like being unused for long periods, especially when idle for the whole summer . I think they get damp inside and have found drying them with a hair dryer for 20 mins has a 50 / 50 chance of bringing them back to life.
