Yes - Orange and Green lights at the RJ connection are blinking. But the Red fault status light and Green normal status light do not flash at all, except when power is connected. Also, the small red lights on hash boards do not illuminate.

Visual inspection of the controller looked normal. No signs of damage or anything unusual.
You can telnet/putty into the miner user/password - root/admin if you have the ip address.
I use "advanced IP scanner" to find the ip address.
Usually ipreporter.exe(bitmain app) will work when you press the ip button on the miner until it beeps.
Need the ip address to ping as well.
If the miner cannot get to the internet it won't mine/hash, all bets are off.

The networking piece is working if the orange/green are flashing.
Means it can get to the router, but won't tell you about internet connectivity.

Yes and to no avail. The RESET and IP buttons are completely unresponsive. When pressed they do not cause any indicator lights whatsoever.  I also tried hooking it up to a deprecate router on a separate network, no IP at all. I think it's oat likely the controller is a brick. I've seen the older style controller on earlier batches for sale with Bitmain and others. Some are saying the older style will work fine, but I'm waiting to see what Bitmain says.  Maybe they also have the new style available as well.
Can you putty into the controller?
Are the network lights blinking at the rj45 connector?

Did you try to hit the reset button to reflash the built in firmware?

It's an epic movie. To show how much of a geek I am about that movie: I name each of my miners after characters in the film.  Leelo is the S9 with the broken controller board. Hopefully someone can help her out.  Cheesy

I have tried multiple power supplies and network cables, powering just the controller, and then hash boards one at a time with zero effects. But I haven't tried connecting it to a different router.  I will give that a shot, and see if it makes any difference.  

Appreciate the recommendation. I'll let you know how this goes. Bitmain still quiet via a parts request.

Cheers!

You green?
Mul-ti-pass!  Grin

SUPER GREEN!

Love that movie...  Grin

Happy New Year All!! I would welcome any assistance with a controller board issue for a 13.5TH/s S9.

This is a S9 (October 2016) and I believe there is a failure of the controller board (single piece). I have older S9s at 11.5TH/s, and this controller board looks very different. I have requested a replacement controller board for Bitmain and hopefully they respond.

Symptoms include: No way to access the eitherner GUI screen.  I have reset many times, unplugged bashing boards, and still no way to find the unit IP or GUI screen. The small red lights on the hashing boards do not light up at all during any period. I can't update the firmware because there is no way to access the S9 interface.

Long time miner, but this one really stumped me. Of course, happy to donate BTC to anybody who can find a fix. ☺☺☺

try to use another power supply and connect to another internet router with using IP Reporter again on this new router to create virtual IP on it ( after reset your machine )

did you just get it? Takes 7 minutes to boot. Screwed me up too on my first one, thought it was dead.
Also, both fans have to be connected and spin. I had a zip tie block the rear fan from spinning once and it would not start.

Try this out and see if you can use something to get ya going. https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3516

If that doesn't work you'll prolly have to contact bitmain or bitmainwarranty for a replacement controller.
Happy New Year:)

Guess they were not counting on $1000+ btc
If BTC went to $2000 they would have to increase the miner price, would be more demand
Whatever people will pay
with the paypay 8% and ebay 18% fees you to mark things

up at least 25% to make a profit otherwise its not worth it

is this their new fees?
I thought paypal was 2.99%+30cents and ebay was 10% on the top of that.
lol i wish ebay was 2.99% ebay is 13% if you have. storefromt
wich costs $20 per month 18% for normal sellers

then you gotta pay the damn ebay 3 to 8% paypal fee

thats why ebay markups are so high its been that way for over a year
