Ok thanks!

It now shows:
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo

According to the manual this means error. Is there anything i can do?

~ Luc

I had this situation, i took out the board and upon closer examination found thermopaste (grey) all over the bottom portion. Upon removal of the paste using a Q-tip (famous Q-tip tech Wink

), i re-seated the board and it worked fine. If this would not work, exchange the location of some boards and make sure that they are seated "all the way". In >90% cases, this should do it.

Everything works fine now, however the miner goes back to its default pool when restarted. Is there a config file that can be edited through ssh that automatically loads the correct (changed) default after a reboot or power down?

@psjw440
I would suggest you do not modify your miner if you lack the skills or knowledge.
- Open the case
- All four fans have a four wire connection to the main board (red, black, white and blue).
- Remove the blue wire from the connection.
- All four fans will spin @ 100% which produces a lot of noise and may reduce the lifespan of your fans.

Thank you all for your help!

I switched some boards and modified to fans to run @ 100% (it will be placed in a datacenter so i don't care about the noise). Temperatures are much lower now and i don't see the errors!

~ Luc

What do I need to change to make fans spin at 100%.

First of all, try some serveral reboots to see if the problem persist. After that i suggest you a factory reset (you can easily do that by pressing the button beside the frontal display)

Thanks!

My board already has the capacitors installed so i'll just wait a few days to see if they re-enable.

Both these miners the S2 and the kit are listed as sold out on the site.

maybe bitmain is going to announce a big price cut or new products (they have already mentioned in the past a cheap hashrate upgrade for s2 customers)

I am doubtful that we will see major price cuts .. I like the news, but I see it as Bitmain taking another three day holiday … This sucks because I was about ready to pull the trigger on another S2, and by the time Bitmain comes back to the table my coupons will expire .

I have an S2 that I need a new micro SD card for. I do not have a computer that has a reader for it, so if anyone is willing to buy one, install the firmware, and ship it to me, I will pay for all charges and for your time. Please let me know if you can do this. I need it ASAP

BITMAIN - Do not give promises, what you can not keep.

Shipment within 48 hours after full payment. Returning customers please check your account for coupons.

Order Date: 2014-06-15 13:58:18

Status - unshipped.

And we will soon be four days of public holidays.

I paid 3.194 BTC , to arrive before the holidays.

Today you can buy for 2.878 BTC .

Do not believe the empty promises.

Which holidays-country specific? maybe they are fixing something? price difference is mostly because of 10% BTC price rebound and you never know which way this will turn in the future. Having said that-I get your point.

Yes. ountry specific Holidays 23-24 , week end 21, 22

Got UPS sending info

Funny, they don't reply to my emails...

not to worry - S3 is coming in '3 days' u might as well forget any further expectations of support for S2...

i have resigned myself to accepting less than i paid for - its cheaper than the alternative which is to send the whole rig back and wait for a 'maybe' better one in a fortnight

which is just madness

Info?

They just announced it in the forum, the S3 is the 500GH replacement for the S1, anyone waiting for a S2 replacement (S4?) will still have to wait to see what the options are.

I think its a bit of a shock that the S3 is a replacement for the S1, I think most expected them to focus on the S2 marketplace and above.
