How many S2's have they shipped vs the number of damaged miners recieved? Do you have the numbers, do we even know the scope of the number of shipped S2's? I imagine its a pretty big number.

From what I remember seeing on availability numbers on the Bitmain site, it has been between 1200 and 3500 per batch, so between 5000 and 12000 total units sent out to date, I would say. It's a lot, I guess, depending on who you ask, but not really. The S2 probably takes a good amount of time longer than the S1 to make.

And thats just whats sold on the site, they sell a lot more to big datafarm owners.

You have no idea how badly UPS and other couriers handle 'fragile' items. If the packaging is done right the unit should survive courier.

I have always said that UPS hires gorillas and dresses them in men suits to throw, err, carry around the packages.

After reseating everything, it powered on .
Only one blade seems to be dead, I moved it around different slots and was able to figure out which one it is.

Time to contact Bitmain ...

It's #10 on the pic below.

Something that expensive should be double boxed for sure and sturdy foam on inner box and air pillows or tight cushion in outer box.

Handling could be like this:

No need to shill. It's clearly a carrier issue. All pictures show the case itself bent. Unless you think they manufactured a bent case, the package had to be hit with enough force to go through box, padding and still be hard enough to bend a metal case. Shocked

this - that is more damage than what an upside-down/sideways shipping box would ever cause.

that said, bitmain obviously needs to step up the standards a little bit if there are such rampant reports of damaged miners in shipment.

there is an very easy way to know if the miner and its packaging will survive transit (and prove it to your customers): Pack it up, tape the box shut, and then roll it off the top step of a large staircase. Do this on video and then film the unboxing. If the unit is banged up and cards came loose you have an issue, since UPS will treat it no better than you just did.

I'm 100% serious - really give the shipping box a hard shove so it gets some bounce. You have no idea how badly UPS and other couriers handle 'fragile' items. If the packaging is done right the unit should survive courier.

Seriously? How bad do you think it is?

seems that couriers play basketball with every S2 that they handle

No problems here with 2 different shipments. Don't worry, be happy.

Also for me no problems with different shipments, but i just feel lucky after have seen these pics

I have had good luck as well, but now I have one that will not mine. I have flashed new SD card, GUI comes up. Hardware version is x.x.x.x and there is no cgminer version? looking through board to see if this happened before.

Yikes...Are all of your boards working okay after getting everything reseated? I just ordered another S2 and those pictures make me nervous.

My S2 spits our discards like it's going out of business, and it doesn't bother me too much as the number of accepted shares versus rejects is reasonable.

Same here: discarded shares number is proportionally a lot higher compared to an s1, but they are below the 1% psychological threshold
