Yesssss!!!!!!  Smiley
Congrats!  Wish you a quick delivery

I also got the delivery info and am following the tracking, unfortunately the weekend seems to put a bit of a pause, so current delivery of my B1 order is now expected on Wednesday.

Cheers

Thanks !!I'm from Spain . If I have to pay something for customs I will tell you how much.  Cry
I'm from Australia, and fortunately the S3 comes just under the GST (similar to VAT) threshold for imports, so persons in Australia that have received their B1 order already paid no fees...Smiley no wonder it is called the 'lucky country'...Smiley)
Hopefully your customs fees are not too painful.

Simple the shipping declaration from bitmain is in dollar terms.
I found it is for some others at $900 to $950 for two miner pack.
If you want the exact rate contact bitmain at [email protected] or use the PM of this forum.

Why every newbie buy from bit main
You will never roi
Because diff go so up
Because of bit main hardware
So the only which is earn is bitmain no one else
You never roi your money you spent


I take this as a hobbie and it will roi.  Anyway what are you doing here if you hate bitmain? 

Most of my S1 Antminers did reach ROI. Bitmain miners have a very competitive cost/GH/sec as well as high reliability, no wonder that there was a massive response to the S3 launch. And yes, it is a hobby.

Most order are not from newbie if you do a search in forum threads.
Somewhat Possible with S3 in btc terms else, At-least in Fiat terms. Miners are hobbyists too.
Difficulty increase substantially lower now. % of increase will be lower in the future too.
Bitmain hardwares are the most efficient J/G

But the problem is that one card of one of S3's is not working at all!

I have checked everything power, cabling, anything I can imagine but it persist and not working at all!

Any ideas what should I do?

Did you try moving the cables to the other ports?

Otherwise,  I would open it up and look for any loose connections. Sometimes things get knocked loose during shipping.

Yes, tried it and open it up as well but found no problem yet!
Checked the controller cable, changed it with the other one! But absolutely nothing happened yet!

It happen during shipping with one of my S1, check for any loose capacitors or inductors on pcb.

there is no shipment problem seems on the device.
But I found a clue.
I connected control cable from main-board Socket-1 to Board 2 and from socket-2 to Board 1.

Now the other board is mining and it's temperature increased.

So it's obvious that there is some problem in mainboard and the Asic Boards and cables are ok.
Looks like its time to swap cables between your 'good' unit and the 'bad' one.  Maybe its just a single faulty ribbon cable between the controller and the hashing boards.

Cheers

ribbon cables are ok. tried this before.
If it's not some obvious workmanship problem related to the main-board connector (dry solder joint on the socket to the 'bad' board), then it's probably an RMA issue with BITMAIN.  If you want to prove this 'beyond doubt' you could swap controller boards between your 2 Antminers. Ideally they would provide the replacement main-board so that you can continue mining with the 'half' miner while the replacement is shipped to your rather than loosing the whole turn-around time.

Cheers

As you told I replaced the mainboard of bad device with main board of good device and now the device is working with two asic boards ok, so it's obvious that the main board of the bad device have some problem.
I will ask bitmain for a replacement for mainboard and while then my device can mine half capacity. Sad

Thanks a lot guys!
