Visual inspection looks clean... any other test I ought to do?
Discussion
hmm. on the physical side you can check data cables to hashboard but when those fail its more of a single board at a time going offline. use a compressed air can to blow any dust off. check if any heatsinks are loose on hashboards
if the device gets an ip, you could see if it returns any status messages from calling directly but that should also be available in brainsos web dashboard
I was thinking to swap put the hash boards from a verified working machine to narrow down ifntheyre the issue (or just swap control boards might be the easier route).
I checked the cables and they all seem to pass visual inspection. No pinching or severs or burn marks.
I hit the whole thing with compressed air and pulled the hashbboards (all heatsinks look fine). I did find a loose cable but that didn't fix it (Longshot but hey)
The IP thing is weird. Like I say, I can log in... but as soon as I do, I just get an eternal loading screen. No data populates or anything. How do you suggest I call the device directly? If I ping it from my desktops command line is it gonna ping back?
try this, replacing IP_ADDRESS with your miners ip
echo '{"command": "fans+pools+summary+tempctrl+temps+tunerstatus"}' | nc -w 5 IP_ADDRESS 4028
I'm getting "NC is not recognized as internal or external command"
I'm just running this thru cmd line on my windows desktop. Am I supposed to type this somewhere else?
ah. im used to linux for this.
for windows you could install cygwin (www.cygwin.com) which will have netcat or nc.
or may be able to leverage telnet if thats installed or powershell
Just remembered my nodes are on windows VMs. Tried running that in Ubuntu using the IP of a functioning miner on my network and getting "command not found" error
Linux VMs*
sudo apt-get install netcat

Here's what I'm getting back:
ok. each of the command requests sent are coming back with that Disconnected error. At this point id say see what the wizards in https://t.me/BraiinsOS telegram group can recommend.
Thanks for all your help so far. I'll check telegram and see from there!
