I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Unfortunately it didn't work. I have just switched pools however, so I am going to see if this may work....

Again each time I reboot it restores hashing

So it runs for a bit then crashes? May be a bad chip that is showing signs of thermal expansion. Want to send it over and I'll look at it in IR?

You're a gent, this seems to have fixed my problem. Previously I flashed firmware and reset, which always got the board hashing for 1 - 2 hours, but I tried everything you stated and it's been 4+ hours and it's OK.

I do wonder whether it's the PSU....

Hi

Sometime my S9 have same proplem. I unplug power cable, unplug all 6 pin 12 Vdc connect from power supply to machine. Wait 5 minute and plug all back. This is solve my problem.

I think that this problem occur when temp hash board to high and HW asic component error so machine try to reboot, or there are sync sock of power supply.

Usually you would drive a high side and two low sides. The problem isn't providing gate current, it's the speed at which a normal gate switches. On a normal buck inverter most times the ground is on, with short excursions of the high side being on. Thus low side should have two FETs to ground the power line, and the high side needs just one to do the quick transition. If you put two FETs on the high side you need more gate power *and* the gates will switch more slowly due to capacitance.

On the S9 it's a bit more interesting, the voltage is closer to the median than the S7, so they felt the need for dual FETs on both sides. Which needs more gate current.

Fun stuff.

Ya, that and the fact that they switched to a new buck controller that cannot be purchased easily, ON semi however makes almost identical parts(hell they probably copied ONsemi, lol). I have absolutely no idea what the 8040 or 6040 transistor specs are(no datasheets exist as far as I can find), might have to get the converter and MOSFET data and do the math. Wish BITMAIN would release the '87 datasheet already too.

Surprisingly Bitmain responded quickly but unsurprisingly asked me to return the whole unit. They did offer to give me one of their coupons to cover the shipping costs. So basically they`ve sold me something that stopped working properly after only one day, well within the warranty period and expect me to pay shipping and repay import duties if it is returned to me, and it will only be returned if they deem it DOA. But I will get a coupon (value unspecified) to help buy another unit from them. What a joke!

If you want to fix it you probably have to pull the FETs on the board, at least the high side ones. This will require hot air tools, good flux, and a good pre-heater. I have all of these, if you want me to look at it drop me a PM and I'll send you my address.

As Bitmain are not going to respond until the 25th I pulled the board anyway. There`s no obvious problems on visual inspection. Which FETs do you you mean by "the high side ones"? There seem to be four on the back of the board two marked 6040 an two marked 8040.

The high side MOSFET are the two Square chips closest to the power connector. The 6040 and 8040 are drivers because I believe that buck controller is only designed to drive one MOSFET(per side).

My one recommendation is get a board preheater. Really, it makes air tool removal easy, clean, and reliable. A hundred buck Aoyue quartz preheater is like God in a little box.

That and a Hakko battery powered part picker will make you a champ.

Thanks for the offer, I think your in the U.S. so as i`m in the U.K. i`ll wait till I get a reply from Bitmain. I`ve asked them to replace just the board so I don`t have to return the whole unit. For some reason they offer this service for other miners but not the S9. If they won`t agree to that then I guess its going to be an attempt at repair. I have a heat gun and experience with soldering/desoldering components, assuming I can source those particular components here. I sill don`t get why these boards fail so regularly, (I had the same problem with an S7)

Set up my new s9 yesterday with three 750w psu`s , one of the psu`s also powers the control board. Everything was running fine until I turned off the machine to tidy up some cables. When I powered it back up I noticed the middle hashing board was not working and the psu powering this board had stopped. I swapped around the psu`s and whichever psu is connected to the middle board it won`t run. Tried a reset to no effect. Its almost as if there`s a short on that board and the psu that is connected to it is shutting down to protect itself. Anyone else had this problem? I prefer to fix it myself rather than returning it to Bitmain.

That's interesting. Any chance one of you who did this and has it working can go back to the old supply and check the voltages at the PCIe plugs on each board? I'm wondering if there is a sag somewhere, maybe the problem is one of the Bitmain supply rails is going bad and it shows up as a dead card..... (assuming their PS has three rails this could happen)

Hi I also unpacked a brand new antminer s9 yesterday, 1 hashboard not showing. Checked all cables and reloaded firmware, still not showing. Using bitmains psu.

@btcurrencies. I have 1 1000watt psu available. Can I try powering just the faulty hashboard with the 1000watt psu or will I need to purchase a 1600 watt.

Any suggestions to which 1600 watt power supply to purchase.

Thankyou in advance.

you need a 1600w not not the bitmain one.
you will see that by changing the bitmain one to a standard one will fix the card hashing..

Im having the same problem with TWO 13.5TH S9s I just got today. I tried 2 different Bitmain PSUs and both S9s sometimes show one board, sometimes 2, and for a few hours before a restart all 3. Can you confirm another PSU will fixed this?

Also I have an L3 that mines just fine with both PSUs. What gives???

For all of you with this problem....
i found the solution for the third chain missing!

its only due to the bitmain PSU.

change it to one 1600W not bitmain and your issue will be solved!

this worked for 4 s9 ! not only one.. just change your bitmain PSU

Hi all,

I got Bitman response:

Please try these three methods to reset your machine: https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957
Then load the firmware from this page: https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720161126080548570Q2tDBXAH065D
Select the file in the last row of the table.
Run the miner for 20 minutes after loading the firmware.

If the issue is not resolved please carefully read and follow these instructions to create a Repair ticket and ship the machine back to us: https://shop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htm

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns.
Sad

I made all the attempts and no success the middle hashboard still does not back work.

complicated to have to send the complete machine to repair only the board that this problem., they should make change of hashboard with problem even if it has some cost.

and the time of receiving the machine back and absurd custom tax rates depending on the country that will be charged.

I'm trying to contact some technician in China to do repair and send only the hashboard with problem. Undecided
