have you seen the repair manual for T17? please find here https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=187 , there is a PDF which you can download from there, it's in Chinese, but should be "easy" to understand.

This is the problem of the hashboard, and to fix it, you need a tester to repeat the signals for you to find the failure.You need to be familiar with electronic science

Before you shot this poor guy down with a less than helpful answer you should’ve double checked your translation. There’s no such thing as electronic science. It’s like saying food pizza or seated car. AND to correct you, you didn’t need a test gig to trace signals. When the log fills up and says zero ASIC the control board is sending the relevant signals until shutting down hashboard. The only thing a test jig does is allow you to conveniently retry with a button push, as well as the option of to run a stress test.

Sorry for the rant gmaxwell et el Undecided

but sheesh, he’s received so much helpful advice before this.

If I understand correctly, I can apply 21v to the boards metal clamps (with +/- on the correct place offcourse), and then measure the testpoints on the board?

The board won't do anything unless the correct commands are sent from a control board. It needs to command the pic microcontroller to turn on power to the chips on the board, and then it needs to send a command to the chips in order to see any signals at the test points.

It is possible to just use the control board from the miner, and make up some cables (need to be 4awg to 6awg cables) to run from the psu to the hashboard so you can run it on a bench so you can access the test points. It is very slow though because it takes so long to boot up and then you only get 3 chances to measure anything when it is checking the ASIC count, after the 3rd try it just shuts down the board and you need to start again. The normal Bitmain style test jig (that is just a S17+ control board with special firmware), does the same thing except it boots a bit faster and then runs a test pattern to verify the operation and performance of each chip if all chips are found. For troubleshooting a board that isn't finding all the chips, it is still very slow, maybe a couple of minutes per round of 3 ASIC counts.

The tester from Asic.Repair (https://tester.asic.repair/en), far superior to the standard test jig for troubleshooting boards that aren't finding all chips. It allows you to run the ASIC count test continuously about once a second with no boot-up time. I have both and rarely use the standard test fixutre any more.

I don't that is possible without a tester/fixture tool, my understanding is that the current won't flow in the hashboard without a control board, and the normal control board will only supply the hashboard with power for a very short period of time, it will stop once the asic count fails, so you have a very short window to test, I am not sure if that is doable, but I guess it is if you perfectly time when does the current flow based on the kernel log or x seconds from powering on.

The main feature of the fixture tools despite their brand is that they keep the current on the hash board for as long as you want it to be there so you can measure the voltage around the chips, I think it would be best to reach out to wndsnb to confirm the above.

Thanks for all the help so far!

I will start focusing on one board at the time from now.

Are the outlets on the control-board ALWAYS the same chain no., or do they alter depending on how the boards / how many boards that are connected?

It has been a while since I played with these gears, but IIRC they will always display the same chain, it would be best if you just troubleshoot them 1 by 1 to avoid confusion.

Quote

4. Started up the miner and chain 1 now found all the 30 asics BUT... chain 3 it only found 3 asics on board

I get a feeling that something else than the boards themselves are causing this, but I'm just guessing.

My next step is to try and measure a board to see that all chips are ok.

There is a tiny chance that the PSU is faulty and causes this, but it's not very likely to be the case, it's very common for a dashboard to show 30 Asics and then after a reboot, it will show 3 or 0 Asics, so this could very well be just a coincidence, this is why it's ALWAYS best to test 1 board at the time, so now since chain 1 (previously showing 21 Asics) is showing 30 Asics, let it run alone for 12-24 hours, if it sticks and nothing goes wrong, you can be somehow sure that it has been fixed and then put it aside and start with chain 3 doing the same process all over again, testing the board for a few mins can be misleading and will give you a lot of false results.

Does anyone have info about what currents I need to apply to the board in order to get some measurments, or can this be found in the previous link?

Do you mean voltage? if it's what you mean then it is 21v DC.

It seems like you swapped the hashboards and now you are referencing them in the wrong way, can we stick to calling them chain 0,1,2 according to the kernel log where 0 in the log = 1 in the miner status page, 1 = 2 and 2=3 , just to avoid confusion.

Absolutely, I will try my best, but as I have little knowledge about the chains and boards I have a (probably simple to answer) question:

Are the outlets on the control-board ALWAYS the same chain no., or do they alter depending on how the boards / how many boards that are connected?

Quote

According to the last image hashboard 2 ( 3 on the status page) looks perfect finding all 30 Asics, board 0 ( 1 on the miner status page) shows 21 Asics, which suggests that there is an issue either with the 21st asic or the 22nd chip.
...
For now I think you should focus on chain 0 which is showing 21 asics, it should be easier to fix, have you seen the repair manual for T17? please find here https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=187 , there is a PDF which you can download from there, it's in Chinese, but should be "easy" to understand.

Now here's a strang thing that happened as I started working on the board for chain 1 (21 asics found):

1. I removed the data cable to verify that chain 1 with "21 asics found" was in the specific slot of the miner.
2. I removed the board and looked at chip 20-21-22 (from both directions) to see if I found anything suspicious.
3. Resoldered back cooling flanges and put the board back in the same slot.
4. Started up the miner and chain 1 now found all the 30 asics BUT... chain 3 it only found 3 asics on board

I get a feeling that something else than the boards themselves are causing this, but I'm just guessing.

My next step is to try and measure a board to see that all chips are ok.

I would also wait for wndsnb to respond, he has the most knowledge in fixing these hashboards.

Now I believe something is going in the right direction!

Additional update:

I upgraded the os to try and get some more info, and this is what it looks like right now, with all 3 boards connected.

It's just started, but can anyone see if it looks "ok" (although 2 of the boards needs to be checked for problems/solder balls etc)

https://imgur.com/a/kOAdwwl

But from having a totaly malfunctional T17 I hope this is better...

Some more update:

Electricity:
I measured and got 232v from the outlets to drive the T17.

Board 2:
No action taken yet

Board 1:
I removed the cooling alu on chip 12 + 29 and 30 (counting from incoming electricity)
There were 2 solder balls that I removed on two different chips.

Board 0:
On this one I've removed all alus and measured some resistance towards ground.
I've found one place on the board that I feel is a bit suspisious;

When measuring from the red areas (to ground) in the picture below, I get the following readings:

1: 6.7 kOhm
2: 6.87 kOhm
3: 6.7 kOhm

Also some of the other measure-points at the "1, 2, 3" places differ in the same way when measuring towards ground; pos 2 does not follow the pattern.

Could it be that this specific chip marked in black is faulty?

Ok, so I decided to pick the machine apart and clean it, and man, there was some stuff in there that probably shouldn't be...

I guess they don't put mosquitos and bees in there from the factory?

Anyway, I compressor aired the loose parts, (spray)cleaned them with electrical cleaning spray, compressor aired again, put togehter, waited a day before start up.

So now, whenever I run the machine, and troubleshoot it by moving the hashboards to different slots in the "controlboard", moving the datacables to different positions etc, I end up getting the same results;

- Find 0 Asics on chain 0
- Find 12 Asics on chain 1
- Find 0 Asics on chain 2

So for the board on chain 0 and 2 I will try the folllowing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bdRJFGLuc0 with help of some additional info in the comments field of the video.

From the log you posted, it looks like none of the boards are working when they are all connected. For the hashboard to work, all 30 asics need to be found.

Code:

2021-05-08 20:26:52 driver-btm-api.c:1069:check_asic_number: Chain 0 only find 0 asic, will power off hash board 0

2021-05-08 20:27:24 driver-btm-api.c:1069:check_asic_number: Chain 1 only find 12 asic, will power off hash board 1

2021-05-08 20:27:55 driver-btm-api.c:1069:check_asic_number: Chain 2 only find 0 asic, will power off hash board 2

The "get_average_voltage" messages shows the measurement from each hashboard of the PSU voltage. There is only one main supply voltage, so the three boards are measuring the same supply voltage. It could be the PSU is just shutting down and the 3 measurements are showing the voltage drop after the supply shut down, notice from the timestamps that there are a few seconds between each reading.

Code:

2021-05-08 20:26:18 power_api.c:86:get_average_voltage: chain[0], voltage is: 17.034316
2021-05-08 20:26:20 power_api.c:86:get_average_voltage: chain[1], voltage is: 16.513857
2021-05-08 20:26:23 power_api.c:86:get_average_voltage: chain[2], voltage is: 15.558662
2021-05-08 20:26:23 power_api.c:97:get_average_voltage: aveage voltage is: 16.368945
2021-05-08 20:26:23 power_api.c:182:set_iic_power_by_voltage: now set voltage to : 17.000000

From the little info you've given, I'd guess the most probable problem would be a bad PSU or input voltage as mikeywith said. Although I'm not sure how one board would work when the log you posted shows the PSU turning off before the boards start hashing. Before they start hashing, all 3 boards together are using much less power than a single board would use while actually hashing.

We might be able to get a better idea of what the issue is if you post some more logs and screenshots of the status screen.

Log of 1 board working when all 3 boards are connected
Logs of each board working when connected indiviudally

Also, what is the AC voltage you are powering these with? You should verify with a voltmeter.

All 3 boards in the T17 connected as "standard";
- 1 card mines
- 2 card does not mine

Restarting with all only card "1" connected to socket 0 on the control card;
- Card "1" mines

Restarting with all only card "2" connected to socket 0 on the control card;
- Card "2" mines

I find it hard to understand this part, it could be your explanation or I am just getting old, but my best guess is that all hash boards work fine as long as you only run 1 hash board!

If the above is correct, then your issue is most likely a bad PSU or low AC input voltage.

Hi all, I'm both new to the mining experience and also to this forum...

I stumbled upon a Antminer T17 the other day, throwing an error, so the price was right, and I could not resist to buy it

I'm quite used to try and troubleshoot things from my daily work, but since I'm quite new and unexperienced to mining, I need some expert help on getting by right now.

I will try to explain what I've done;

First startup (Also se part of kernel log below):

All 3 boards in the T17 connected as "standard";
- 1 card mines
- 2 card does not mine

Restarting with all only card "1" connected to socket 0 on the control card;
- Card "1" mines

Restarting with all only card "2" connected to socket 0 on the control card;
- Card "2" mines

The kernel log for "First startup" gives me this info:

2021-05-08 20:27:55 driver-btm-api.c:1069:check_asic_number: Chain 2 only find 0 asic, will power off hash board 2

So my question is, based on that :

Could this be a ECC/PSU problem since the voltage on one of the cards is 15.558662?
