Hello, today an s3 of mine stopped working,  when I turn it on the fans immediately start running at full speed, and it does not hash, blades and fan speed don't appear on the miner status tab.

Does anyone know what could happen?

Thanks in advance

you may have to input a dns server ip in manually.



Check DNS IP use google to test 8.8.8.8

Or, likewise, input the pools by ip address and if it mines then your dns is bad.
looks like your servers are up an alive. I would check the wiring something may not be connected if you have your miner overclocked set it to default and restart. A shot in the dark would be to reflash firmware and hope their was a bug.

thanks for the help, done all that and not working, Sad   
The red light near to the ethernet port is always on, if that helps
Do the lights for Ethernet stay on orange and green or are they off. You may have a faulty control board. You can boot up into your miner but your control board is not connecting to your hash board properly meaning it would be the connectors from you hash-board to your control board or the control board itself.


The orange and green lights stay on, I have swapped the control board with another one working fine and that's the problem, it is a faulty board.

Any suggestions on where i can buy a new one or fix this one?

Thanks everyone for the help


Take a look at this http://www.data321.net/1w6xe_uqu__nw_2vu19_6w_igjjdbc_D0
also this is interesting but i couldn't find if they succeed or not hard to follow and shift through.

well thanks for the help, first solution did not work and second requires a lot of time, which currently I don't have Sad

@bhanu545,

Please roll it back to older firmware and see if the problem goes away.

i have this PSU  >

and i want that my s3 will make overclocking 250M

advice me ?


You don't really jump to one.  If you are OCing right you will go up in steps.  Try next one and run it.  Evaluate the results, and possibly move up again.

One thing to remember is OCing voids your warranty, and can damage hardware.


why should will damages ?




It's not "should" it's just possible.  The harder you push it over it's default the more likely you might have a bad effect.

From reading all of your threads, my honest opinion is you should leave it stock.  I think you will be happiest this way.

why should leave ?

If you have free power and you can deal with the heat, overclocking is good. These miners are now really valued at $100, so there is no worry about warranties anymore.

If you pay for expensive power, you might want to even under-clock. It's best to get the highest work utility for the power consumed. And an under-clock should provide that. I can't give you exact numbers, since I'm an overclock person, but try between 200 and 218.

I implore you to look at this thread that's in your language: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/georgian-679928
Ask stuff there. But if you also speak and read Russian, there's many more people to help in this area: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=10.0

I am speaking from how hard of a time you had getting it up and running.  I think it was a 15 page thread.

If you overclock it might work perfect, or there might be problems.  If there is problems I think the language barrier will make it hard on advanced problems.   That is nicest way I can put it.

okay, I'm gonna try and post this here as I'm not having a whole lotta luck elsewhere....

I have one s3+ and two s3's currently... none of which are actually hashing... but all of which i can get on my network, and all of which have accessible web gui's.....

Im 99% percent sure I've narrowed down the problem to downloading or updating i believe whatever LUCI is.

on my system tab under software i have a bar showing 94 some percent free space availibile.... and before I accidentally changed the settings thinking it was one of my downed machines, I noticed it had only 40 percent free space....



every time i hit the update list button this is the error message I receive....


I would greatly appreciate any help and if your in colorado, I feel drinks+ is at the minimum what I owe... Thank you

http://postimg.org/image/m1sxdjo83/b0a57c0f/





I'm really confused with your image. Why are you trying to update the package list? Just a FYI, the dir structure changed on the downloads, that's why it can't find it. Luci is the web interface.

In your case, it might be best to upgrade them all to the latest firmware and then proceed from there. Here's the link to the S3 downloads: https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201407180243004432lBQW28O0633



yea sorry about the lack of clairty here, Im really lost and just throwing out terms im running across. Im trying to update the list because at this point...Ive tried like every button in the gui to try and re access these things. I have definitely tried to just update the firmware in the past but every time I still show that 90 someodd percent free space.... im positive if i could get whatever I had on it to make read 40 someodd percent ill be good again. Is this what I should be accomplishing by downloading the latest firmware? and if so is there a link to the correct process in doing so? Im wondering if im doing it wrongs... or its a mac kink possibly.......


edit:
tried to update again.... still no changes in any screen, and I still get the same error when trying to update list. I download the firmware but then it jus sits in my downloads... I cant open it or do anything from there.... Seems like im missing the step where i get it on my miner... But im not so technically savvy that I know the answer.....

You should download the newest firmware for the machines at the link I gave. Then that file will be saved on your computer. After that, load up the miner's web interface, go to the System tab, then the 'Backup / Flash Firmware' tab. There you can specify the file you have downloaded on your computer, and click on flash image. Be patient with the flash, and then if that doesn't get your machines working again, something is really wrong.

F2 pool have fee ?

Which pool is better ? Antpool ?


How many earning total btc per day f2 ?

Your putting questions in wrong threads again.   This would be better off in the pool thread.

F2Pool has a 4 percent fee, what ever your 100 percent perfect pay would be it pays 4 percent less.  It does not factor luck in pay.

Antpool deals with luck. You could get 100 percent or more,  or less. 

Overall Antpool should get 100 percent over time.  Withe F2Pool having 4 percent, Antpool wins if everything works perfect.  If you cant handle luck in pay F2Pool wins.

Which is good ?

I runing s3 on f2 and 20 hourse i got me 0.0036

Both are good.  This is  really getting off topic for the S3 thread.

You should move over to pool  thread and post these questions there.  You should get help there.
