I have ten blades--they only make sense cost wise to ship in the US. PM me and we can work out a price.
i am glad to say my case is finally closed to my satisfaction.
thank you BITMAIN_janet.
Dont give up, persistence is key.

Was hoping others can see if they have some spare too

Build-in PSU can't handle OC... Not Enough Juice
Who said that I'm on stock PSU? It has been replaced with Corsair AX1200i long ago... And S2 was running at 1.1 Th (at Slush's side) on Kano's firmware.So my current PSU should be enough for overclocking, please share the appropriate methoda how to do it with newest official firmware.
Hey, I just got a S2 yesterday, it had a lot of HW errors so I updated the firmware and cgminer to 4.6.1 it fixed the HW problem but now it only hashes at half capacity!!
Has anyone experienced this or know a solution.. I really need help - I have little experience with this.
Oh, and I work from a Mac or Raspberry Pi if that helps.
FIXED!!: Hey, so using the firmware, it's system>upgrade>perform reset and the whole thing started back good as new.. maybe make a backup before you do this if your nervous.
Alright, now I am getting a consistent 1015.7 gh/s.. I've included the system backup, I've made.. It should get you to antminer firmware dated October 28 2014 and cgminer 4.6.1 - the highest you can set the asic-freq is 200, but it works like a dream. To use it go to: system>upgrade>restore backup .. Thanks!!!
Not a huge fan of those temps bro...keep an eye on that puppy!

Thank you for your reconsideration of the matter.
Unfortunately you seem to have overlooked the three (3) blades that were also part of the same issue. Valued by BITMAIN China at 100USD each.
Also, if we had closed the matter in June as agreed, then the June BTC value would indeed be acceptable.
Instead you opted to cause us all much frustration & financial burden up until now, where the BTC value is less than half of what it was when you could/should have ended the matter.
As such i implore you to re-calculate the full refund value of 260 + 230 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 790 USD in todays BTC price.
This will be wholly acceptable & i will agree that the matter is indeed closed. I will also post my appreciation on each thread to remove the aforementioned tarnish.
I am regretful it has taken so long and so many posts to finally come close to a reconciliation, but i welcome the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Edgar

Well, I have just upgraded my S2 with this new FW (paycoin fever...). -100 Gh to hashing speed even with 200 on "advanced" tab... Will try to OC later.
p.s. found now that OCing of S2 with this new FW is not so obvious task... Please someone share how to do that...
Thanx! I'll try it after weekend.

Is there a forum to discuss selling of hardware? I hope I'm not breaking rules here, but I have 2x S2's I'd like to sell. They work great, but I have no electricity available to run them, as I've been upgrading to S4's. I'd rather not ship them. I'm willing to drive a certain distance from St. Louis to meet someone halfway. The distance is negotiable.
my bestshare value rarely moves increases compared to my s1's and s3's.
It does have the most recent firmware too.
any ideas why it doesn't move and should I be concerned?
Your best share value will only increase when you find a share that was bigger than the last best share.
No.
Peace

Its just odd that my s1's change often as does my s3's.
You can overclock the S2 from the web UI with the new firmware in the advanced tab. I wouldn't recommend doing so with the standard PSU though 
So have you overclocked it? What is your result?Marginal - not worth it.

I have one s2 amongst all my other mining gear.

I posted this in a different discussion but I noticed that this one is labeled active, please excuse my forum faux pas. I'm hoping someone here can help me since I am a relatively new to using antminers. I have three s1's and two s3's and I just bought my first s2. I have successfully ssh into the s1's and s3's and have overclocked/underclocked without any problems, but for some reason I cannot edit the /etc/config in the s2. I open putty and enter root/admin and instead of seeing the normal welcome screen all I see is a line "root@antminer:~#", then I enter "/etc/config" and it says "-sh: /etc/config: not found". I have updated to the latest firmware from Bitmain and have rebooted several times. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Did you got any answer to this I would like also to know the answer.
The more i think about it ... the more i am thinking to try something else. Few tube manufacture are giving great rates and good th/kw. I all ways liked Bitmaintech but it seems they no longer value their customer anymore...
