Maybe you can upgrade your s7 changing your hashing board and controller board.. like hotmine x5 for antminer s5..

And maybe upgrading hashing board and control board could be possible to fix your antminer s7..

The ONLY sensible option is to sell them as FAULTY on Ebay...Some one is repairing them..I have seen the S7 repair thread controlling the PWN chip via a VT...But honestly i gave that up years ago after dremelling into Wii chips to solder on Kynar wire...lol

Ah right...It seems i have gone round in a complete circle after trying to create a repair ticket with Bitmain.

1. I need to send the whole miner to their new address for S9 repair.

2. They DO NOT repair S7 boards (that is the reply i had from Bitmain Customer Services.

So confusing..

Hi All

I have a LOAD of Dead S7 and S9 boards, Bitamin will only repair an S9 card if u send the WHOLE miner !!! (pointless with loss in mining revenue).

Plus they will NOT repair S7 boards as they are discontinued !!

I have this link - https://bitmainwarranty.com/

Which directs you here - https://myrig.com/

They even have S9's for sale !!!

I will NEVER understand why a member on here has NOT yet set up a repair shop...They would make a Fortune !!!!

Any dealt with these ?

I am based in the UK.

Cheers

OH plus the 16Th Dragonmint miner seems a CON !!!!
