I got some chili from MrTeal still up and running

they did not "ROI" yet (LOL) so I moved them to a " free energy" location.

I would be interested in some of their cousins if only to show around what mining is ..

These are in the uk (no free power for me here)

free to collect, or postage at reasonable cost

Thanks for the offer Mudbankkeith, for me it's more a case of fixing Luko's trust rating so that no one else gets hurt.

I know it's kinda pointless now but did anyone ever recieve their hardware?

Still got some retired boards if you want them......................................

Hi Lucko

I have some Chili boards that are now going offline soon.

Would you be able to find a home for them?

Yes they finished today but since it took them twice as long as they estimated they asking me to pay twice as much. I did see this one coming on Friday and I did sell some BTC but that still takes 2 to 3 days at Bitstamp. Board has extremely good thermal properties that surprised them... Heating and soldering took much longer then expected... Unless they are BSing me. But I did had similar problems and asjfdlksfd reported the same thing.

OK what left of the boards are now at professional so I should have them in 1 or 2 work days. Unfortunately Wednesday is national holiday. We could say it is independence day.

More than 2 days later incl. national holiday ... any breaking news?

Thx

Looks to be stable yes.

PING! .... Updates?
I guess the parts have arrived, are you in the last steps of fixing the remaining boards already?

Cheers

My friend still doesn't have time. Too much work at work. I'm manage to fix about half till now. I'm now at about 1 in 2 hours now(removing components, solder new one on, cleaning solder paste, apply thermal material, mount heatsink (sometimes reporgram), test and sometimes looking what I damaged or moved in the process). I know how to do this but as I already indicated I'm not good at it. Also looking for alternatives but hand fixing boards is not something you can order from one day to another. But I think I should have a solution in about 2 to 3 days.

And it is running... I hope it is same error on all of them. Also asked a friend who is much batter in soldering then I to help me with the rest. I almost destroy PCB in a process.

Sweet ... finally good news!

Hopefully stable Roll Eyes

I know you are waiting for me to tell did it worked or not. I did replaced that parts but unfortunately I think I also also burned capacitor that is close. I don't have a replacement at hand and moving it from another board is not really an option since it is really small and I will probably just damage it anyway... I order some of them in case it repeats with some other boards and also together with suspected part. I'm waiting conformation for tomorrow delivery...

Edit:
Got trekking
Scheduled Delivery:
Wednesday, 28/05/2014, By End of Day

Yes and it doesn't look to be a train... Removing components that we think are the problem put voltage to right levels. I also looked at some other boards and it looks like they all have same problem. Voltage are different but not in necessary range. Now all that is needed is for me to get components that I know they work(from a working board back on). It looks like my stock somehow got demeaned... That is today project... I would kill right now for more steady hand... My is shaking juts a bit too much...

I am not keeping Lucko from getting the board fixed. On the contrary, I have even provided the full schematics for it to aid him in debugging when that wasn't part of the original agreement. I have no problem working with Lucko to try and fix the issue, and providing him the tools he needs to try to debug it himself. I would (as I have in the past) debug it and try to isolate what the problem is free of charge, though what I am able to do is extremely limited without access to hardware. The only thing I am not agreeing to is the sharing of all the design files. Believe me, I want to see this resolved as much as anyone.

So Lucko,

when are you sending 2 boards to MrTeal? I seems like you have more than enough information to fix the boards but you can't. So send them to him so he can find the problem for you. Why does take this so long?

I spent some time today with Lucko through Teamviewer while he measured points on the board for me. We did identify a couple areas where the idle voltage was completely wrong, so we'll follow up on that once Lucko gets some finer measuring tools for testing the very small components. It's not a solution yet, but finding out where the problem lies is at least the first step to fixing it.

Thank you MrTeal, Lucko .. at least there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow,

What a Bummer MrTeal Keeping you from getting Boards Fixed.

I thought MrTeal would be Cool with doing whatever it takes at this point.

Keep at it I guess...

Best.

What I meant was all we need is the Board.
No Files.
No Data from the Contract with MrTeal.

What's so bad about just sending the Board to someone?
It's not like you are giving us his intellectual property.
It's Just the board and nothing else.

Maybe you should ask again so no misunderstanding???

Excellent and that's what I would expect from you.
Heck at this point too bad You and Us could not get our hands on a board to help out.

I just hope it could be soon as BTC will be on the rise again and give these old BFL chips a resurrection of use.
Especially those with unlimited power or not being charged for power.

The Offer Still Stands:
We could get our Tech guy to test and try to find a fix free of charge.
No Files needed etc. Just the Board.
We would also consult with You/MrTeal on our findings and suggestions.

To ALL Concerned:
Just PM Us IF you want to send us a board.
Two could be better but at least 1-Board.

Best...
