my latest S2 died lastnight, was only running for 12 hours since it was delivered at my house yesterday.
i was checking my pool stats in the middle of the night while feeding the baby and noticed the new s2 not hashing so i went out to the garage and the power supply fan is spinning, but the s2 is dead, no lights at all
so i turn it off and on to no avail, then unplug it and move it to a different outlet and plug it back in and there was a loud POP and a spark flew out of the power supply. upon closer inspection one of the capacitors blew and is leaking white stuff
had a spare 1000w rosewill psu i swapped it with and started up the S2 and wouldn't turn on agn, so i started removing hash boards and moving them around and came to the conclusion one of the hash boards is totally dead. when this particular board is plugged in the unit wont turn on, doesnt matter if theres 6, 7, 10 boards plugged in. without the dead board the S2 starts like a champ
the unit is now running fine with 9 boards and my spare PSU
contacted bitmain for RMA help and so far theyve asked me some troubleshooting questions, but at this point its pretty obvious what the issue is lol.
