Well, guess, what the re bake or re flow thing worked, both blades are hashing now , now for how long is the question
hoping for ever.
Did you document the process? I would not mind seeing pictures of it happening if you did.
Sadly, no pic but can write just what i did . my skill with pictures and videos is real bad . but will write what i did and what temps what kind of oven etc .Never been to good at keeping actual written notes. i read and learn and try it if it works, i say something .
I bought a S5 about two weeks ago on amzon used, for the price of a new one ( being lazy didint feel like buying the coins). when I got it I had to take it a part it needed a really bad cleaning it was over heating etc cleaning it fixed that. then 24 hours later chain one stopped hashing no reason, there was very Low hardware errors no XXXX the temps were fine well below 60 C.
I got in touch with the Seller we talked he offered to send me a another S5 that was suppose to be having the same issue . he told me to keep old one. the replacment wasn't working as he said but that was a very easy fix, set it to defaults and unplugged all the cables and it worked, i knew it needed some adjustments. it wasn't showing __________ in the line nor XXX just 0000 . for one blade the other one was hashing as it should have been .
now to how i fixed the one that went bad or seemd to go bad.
I saw this thread so i started reading more on it and then Nthused posted what he did with his S1 so I looked for more info on re flowing, i knew what it was or what to do . I had only heard it called re baking a GPU card.
SO I looked for more info and find all kinds of good stuff about making your own re flow oven etc but knew i Polly will never need one.
SO i started thinking about some thing that happen a while back some one told me how they fixed there GPU by putitng in a reg every day oven for 8 mins at around 390 to 420 degrees.
SO,I did some online shopping for toaster oven found this on one cheap

once i got home i took a part the S5 cleaned up the board real good with rubbing Alcohol 70 % iosproplyl .took any thing i could get off, off . then plugged in the oven and set it to max temp of 450 let it set for 10 mins . then stuck in the board. i didn't use the tray it didn't fit in with the tray any way. I didn't like the idea of setting it on a tray with tin foil spacers and the way I did it, it fit into the oven .. it was just long enough for the top slot in the oven, i just slide it in then shut the door . set the timer on the oven for 10 mins and watched it with a temperature gun to make sure it didn't get to hot or go over 420 Degree even thu, i had it set at 450 max setting. once the timer went off, it shut off, I unplugged it then opened the door and let it set for a about a hour inside the oven.
pulled it out ,
re pasted the boards with

I don't think it i could have fixed it using a heat GUN they look kind of hard to use,didn't seem like it was the best way . but A big ty to Nthused for giving me more ideas and thinking on it more .
results below
I'm all most sure now i have take it part again and re past the boards, i think it i may have put to much on one of the boards . but I'll leave it for a few days and see if it keeps hashing .
BTW, that's the extent of my Picture taking skills, it took me all most a year to figure out how to use

I'm not one to ask unless I'm to annoyed to look any more and i want to know.
P.S, don't do this if it is under warr it will void it and there is no way i know of that will cover up what that oven can do to it .
for the toaster oven any cheap toaster oven will work but try to make sure it has heating elements both on the top and bottom for a better bake .
AND a manual temp setting or dial so you can adjust it up or down while it bakes .
DO NOT USE AND I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH ON ANY OVEN YOU USE TO COOK WITH, VERY UNHEALTHY and MAY HURT YOU IN THE LONG RUN.
