Is it possible to just order a new controller? Seems like that would be cheaper than waiting weeks for a response to my RMA request, mailing this monster away, and then waiting god knows how long to get a new one.

You probably only need a new BBB from some used S5 miner and S5+ firmware

I havent opened mine up. Is it another miner that is not using the SD card? Looked empty in your shot but thought I would check to make sure.

Thanks for all your good information you have shared.

I think my S5+ controller has now died. I've operated dozens of S5's for a LONG time. This is the first time I've run into this issue with a controller. I even took special care with my S5+ to make sure it was run in an extra cool environment. Very disappointing.

That is not good to hear :/. Good thing is they should have them as S7 appears to use same controller.

I still have had no issues. I do keep have a decent amount of CFM from fan's pushing air through my miners. Not sure if that is making any difference but I like it and it's made my other miners make it through summer mining.

I think it depends on who you talk to. On S3's they originally would sell them straight out, but later made it where you had to do a RMA. On this it was since they were able to fix most of them, and sell again.

But it's worth a shot to ask. Just tell them you want to buy and not mess with. If they do it would be quicker and no having to ship old controller out.

Hopefully I can get ahold of someone. I put in a ticket yesterday. Would be great if the controllers were cheaper than shipping...

On the other hand, if there were 3 people who were interested in buying individual S5+ 1/3 units, and had their own controllers, I'd also be open to that option.

Please let me know if they let you buy controllers and if it's a fair price. That is a interesting idea for down the road if I sell.

Having a controller for each one would make it lots easier to sell. Finding a buyer for entire unit is a little more limited audience.

Yes, this is obvious.
But what does it mean if you get direct EU warranty?

Quote from: notlist3d on September 04, 2015, 02:04:53 AM

Good question I was not aware of EU warranty center. But I'm sure they would make lots of EU happy if they had this.

I only heard some rumors about a EU office but got no verification, so this is interesting...
BTW: In the past I have offered to help them with EU based warranty stuff as we have done for rockminer. Most EU warranty
and distribution was handled by us.

You will need to email bitmain on this on. I do not know of one or heard of anyone using one.

So either they made a slip of togune, or possibly we will see one sometime put in EU. But you will need to ask BM direct as none of us are going to know this.

But the anwser is that means he has to deal with China warranty I believe. So it's dealing with shipping there most likely.

You're right.

Hi Tupsu....

Sorry to hear that. I hate to do this but I have to send you to [email protected] as your Order ID does not qualify for the local EU warranty.

I see the good temperature and right frequency with 1 missing "o" and 1 "x".

What does this mean?

your Order ID does not qualify for the local EU warranty.

I ordered straight from bitmaintech.com site and live in EU. Estonia.

Then who is at all qualified for local EU warranty?
And what does this mean?

I'm still interested in parting ways with an S5+ if anyone wanted one. Preferably in the US for shipping reasons.

I'd consider it to do a review I guess. I don't like missing models out, PM me.

Hi guys got my s5+ unit got to say overall very disappointing, powered up my unit and it caught on fire, half of the heat sinks have fallen off during transport from china would have thought that bitmain would do a better job now im waiting for a response from them.

3. In some cases, the warranty will be void, but Bitmain can still do repairs at
your own expense if requested. The following events will void the warranty:

a. Customer removes/replaces any components by himself without receiving
permission from Bitmain first;
b. Damage caused by electrical surges, lightning, or inadequate power supply;
c. Burnt parts on hash boards or chips;
d. Miner/boards/components damage due to water immersion or corrosion due to
wet environment.

You do not lose the entire blade every time. Depends on how the chip was lost or what chip were lost, it could be a total loss, but not because you lost one chip doesn't make it automatically lose the whole hashing PCB. Yes it can be but based on your Miner Status Page, you did not lose the whole hash PCB.

From my 3 x S5+ working normaly only one, as it should be mine.

Last miner was with broken fan. and it turned out that there was a not working blade.

I took the fan from another S5+ and A broken fan-sided last blade is broken.

At first it was only 1 missing ASIC , like the the second miner.

So I already know that a single ASIC loss may be the loss of the entire blade.

Therefore, I paid 7500 USD and got
one just [non]broken miner, that can immediately break one blade
one just broken with transport ,
and one 100% working miner.

All they had mined for at least a month, if not more, before selling
