Is bitmain planning on replacing batch 1 PSUs that haven't yet had a problem? Not looking forward to mine eventually dying.

Information on the PSUs to come soon, just being finalised now.

Great, thanks for the update.

S4 New batch, please connect your S4 to the router or switch and look for the IP address on the LCD Monitor/Screen!!

Yes, all S4, the IP address of S4 will be shown at the LCD.

I'm confused, so that information had nothing to do with determining the difference between batch 1 and batch 2 regarding the new PSU?  Huh

Can you clarify it more of what to look at? According to DOGE guide of the S4, the IP will also be displayed on the LCD from the first batch he/she got.

If you buy direct from http://www.bitmaintech.com or http://www.bitmain.com you know it is the batch 2 with a new PSU, tho  Wink

But depends on where you are in the world, resellers may make sense, too

If your unit was shipped directly from the factory after October 10th, the S4 has different PSU (Replaced PSU) inside.

If you purchased from any third party but the unit was shipped from the factory after October 10th, the S4 has Batch 2 PSU.

I will go look for the pictures if there are any difference in physical appearance.




How do you tell if we got the batch 2 with the new PSU? I ordered from a third party site claiming to be from batch 2, but is worried they might of sent a S4 from batch 1. Is there anything you can give us to tell the difference from batch 1 and batch 2 of the new PSU from the S4?

Thank you, providing pictures would be best or maybe some indication by serial numbers of the S4? I'm assuming resellers would say they have the latest batch just to get it sold or trying to sell a used or older S4 batch as a newer batch. And there would be no way proving it unless you will be able to provide us with some differences for us to check on our own =) Thanks for the update and I will wait for your responses to keep my mind at ease and not risking my S4 burning down my house or not worrying if it is an actually Batch 2 model and not a Batch 1.

Batch 2 S4 has new PSU.  and all the future batches.  

batch 1 with PSU problems are being replaced as we speak. (When RMA is needed)

If you have a DOA or defective PSU, PLEASE DO NOT OPEN the PSU case.  It can be life threatening hazard inside the PSU. HIGH VOLTAGE.

and we are still wake!!  Its late in China but staffs are still working around the clock as usual.

As information becomes available, we will provide more

Cgminer & Firmware part wise, tremendous supports from Ckolivas and Kano are placed into this, but please wait for the programmers to finish their work.

Why is everyone so offensive to Dogie? :/ Think he does a good job
  He used to be a an arrogant mouthpiece, so it's likely he takes flack from his past dealings.  He's been trying really hard to chane that and help people out so I cut him some slack.  Others, not so much.

Yes, anyone here long enough to recall Dogie's investment scam? LOL i bet the fcker delete that post now.

How are your multiple successful businesses Dogie?

To you specifically, what on EARTH are you talking about? Search via google on bitcointa.lk, either you're hard trolling or mistaking me for someone totally different.

To everyone else: [Can we move this conversation to one of my threads, not the Bitmain one please: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-dogies-comprehensive-manufacturer-trustworthiness-guide-1st-feb-2016-456691]

I'm going to have to agree here. Dogie's 'paid position' is technical support and not sales or design. Additionally, in his non-paid role as member of this community, he has been open and helpful about every miner that he is familiar with,  in multiple threads.

I have an S2 that hasn't run right since it was purchased, the S3 line was botched since pre-S3+ (IMHO) and now it looks like the S4 is going to turn out to be a roll of the dice to see whether it can eek out a positive ROI or if it will burn your house down. But let's not take our frustrations out on one of the few people who can voice legitimate concerns straight to the top, and who goes out of his way to help others / noobs when he isn't busy getting beaten up by angry miners.
