Description: Here's how I ended up fixing my #Finestra #HNT miner when I noticed that it kept going down. I just recently did the announce that I upgraded the antenna, but then the next couple of days I noticed it was offline and no longer syncing with the blockchain. After looking online I found others having the same issue and in the comments the same thing kept popping up about changing out the SD cards. This was unrelated to the antenna upgrade. You can use these SD Cards: 64GB: amzn.to/3gGldwM 128GB: amzn.to/3JlxP8N Official post from Helium: docs.helium.com/troubleshooting/replace-sd-card Just be really careful if you decide to do this on your own and make sure it's unplugged before you open it up and before you try to insert or remove the SD card since it has the OS on it. This just happens to be what ended up working for me but when I tried another SD card and even the USB drive, it still locked up again after about a day or so. I'm not sure if this is because it's getting stuck downloading some part of the chain that the slower drives can't handle but after putting in the A2 rated card it just worked again. Even the A1 card gave me some issues. I hope this helps someone else having the same issue. If you have the balls to do this on your own you will also be voiding any warranty by opening it up so please note that as well. Huge thanks to john for sending me over the new cards! You'd think Finestra would just send over the A2 cards with the unit considering you're paying 1K for a pi 4 4gb and not even the pi 4 8GB!
