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

S3 in mining status what is gh\s (avg) ? What is avg ?
S3+ should see about 450 gh/s at factory freq/volt. S3 is slightly lower.
I think ToQ has a regular S3 so I would say around 440 gh/s depending on which batch. Batch 1 had some that ran a little slower but they sent some money back because of it.
What is avg ?
It depends on many things. Such as what batch it was in. If it's a S3 or S3+. Each one has a mind of it's own.
S3's I would say around 440 on what I consider Grade A ones. Lower ones can be 400 +, first batch had the most close to 400 and some from first batch were perfect.
On S3 + I would say 450 +. It really depends on the unit they very greatly. Some you can run at a higher clock and get 500. So what I consider a Grade A is one capable of hitting 500.
As far as yours set it on a good pool for your connection and you will see average speed.
I have some Grade A hand picked S3's for sale over in the Computer Hardware section I had over 100 of them and these were the top performers all hand picked by me during testing all run 500GH minimal HW errors never lock up run very very stable
That's what i did with putty it's on there but i dont see and increase in hash.
Dumb/obvious question, but did you follow their tips https://www.westhash.com/index.jsp?p=asic besides just swapping cgminer?
Yea i do see that my internet connection speed to my computers are affected? They aren't laggy as they use to be. The average speed increased slightly on the miner address and the pool I use registers the hash's that match my miner(more effectively). So their are benefits to both min. to S3+ but a noticeable diff to S4 especially to the speed the miner page loads.
. As to the tips yea i do most of them anyway plus I'm going to clean out my S3 and apply new thermal paste. I noticed it has alot of dust accumulated and temp is on the rise so that may affect it. 
I've compared signals between the good and bad hash board on the S3+. The one significant difference is that on the good hash board pin 13 of the ribbon cable has data flowing while the bad hash board does not. I traced the pin 13 to U2 (the first ASIC in the chain) pin 35. Now I'm stumped. Without knowing the criteria for getting data from pin 35 U2, I'm stuck.
thanks.
this eligius how many bitcoin will get me if connect s3 (420GHS) and i have runing 24 hourse ?
antpool i got me 0.002 this is very low
Dude, I see your posts all over, you drive me crazy. Like what do you expect? To make 1,000,000BTC with one S3 miner? To get rich and retire with 400gh/s? Be realistic.
Mining is not a get rich quick scheme. I tried to explain this in other thread. One miner is not going to magically pump out so much money you become rich.
At this point it's mining for a long duration that wins. You have a longer ROI, but it still can be done.
thanks.

This avg good is pool for connection ?
I have really good luck with multipool.us,975gh=.01 btc per day
Never down & no delays in getting my payout,like Eligius,they payout once a week
thanks.

I've been mining on westhash for the last three awesome days, accounting for the s3 on there, it would be making approx 0.0066666 per day.
The fun looks like it's over, but it's still paying more than 100%. The great thing is you can set a miner to only mine there according to the price that will be paid in the password field. So I have it as my number one pool now with the price set, and it'll leave if the price gets too low for me.

Anyone know of any modded firmware or mods to S3.
Only thing I know of a mod to get nicehash to have extranonoce .
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=software
Keep in mind firmware is not official, meaning it breaks warranty.
Got it it comes with an upgrade to cgminer but im still trying to figure it out i dont see a benifit from it as of yet.
Using the patched cgminer, as long as you add the #xnsub to the end of the pool(like stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub), you should notice only one main thing. If you had any rejected speed for that miner, the extranonce seems to fix that. So, you'll have all the mining power you should all the time. And in the case of an overclocked s3, I get an average of 505GH

It allows for extranonoce which allows for best speed on nicehash.
If you run without this most likely you will lose some speed. This biggest benefit are for those that use nicehash/westhash. That is why they made this firmware available.
Again though it is not a official firmware for bitmain. So you void your warranty.
It's not firmware, it's software. The download for the S3 on nicehash is only cgminer. You simply rename the old cgminer, scp the new one, and you are in business. If you have trouble, it's only software related and would not void the warranty. You could always just ssh in and delete the new one and rename the old one and no one would ever know.
I appolgize it is a binary, I assumed firmware like the C1, S4, S5. But appears that is not it.
I would still check with Bitmain on warranty. The firmware loses warranty if you use it, it was not approved by bitmain on other models. I have not checked on changing cgminer from binaries but if you are worried about warranty check before using.

That's what i did with putty it's on there but i dont see and increase in hash. I thought you could use that cg miner to play with it like you could on your pc but only found limited info on that and it's related to the s4. I'm also looking how to flash fcg miner with stock fan they have on there site but the instructions are not included like it says on there site. even after unzipping. Dont want to brick my s4 so I'm waiting till i figure out more about it. It's sad that they stop upgrading there software.
