Acknowledging that this is not a major point, have others noticed the plastic side panels tend to be bowed (as opposed to flat)? I found that with my new units I needed to loosen the forward screws to relax the side panels and allow them to flatten. Unfortunately, the screws appear to be particularly tight and it's a real challenge to relax them without damaging the Phillips heads. Perhaps this is something Bitmain production/shipping could take a look at?
Can you fire me over some pictures please and I'll take a look.
Afraid a bit late for photos, I've already relaxed the panels. However, it's easy to visualize, all four panels were either bowed in at the centers (towards the boards), or bowed out (away from the boards.) My problem was just that the screws were remarkably tight, far more so than those securing the cover of the S3. My #2 Phillips screwdriver tended to ride up out of the slot rather than turn them -- and that was with major pressure being applied.
I was having reliability problems with my Batch 4 S5 that just arrived this week, so someone suggested I update the firmware with the latest (Jan 7) release on the website. Ever since I updated with that firmware I have had troubles. At first I had problems with one blade not coming up, then I did get it working about only at about 800Gh (default settings), and now almost 3 hours later I am down to 680Gh.
Does anyone have the original firmware available for download?
Did you check the "File System Version" on the System/Overview page before updating? Mine arrived Thursday (shipped Monday) and already had the Jan 7 file system installed (Wed Jan 7 14:05:02 CST 2015)!
