@tntdgcr,

Thanks for the mention.  Also, Antminer PSU series repair will start soon on full-service.  At the moment, techs' time are allocated to hash PCB repair as priority but soon will intake APW3, APW3+ and APW5 repair. If you purchased PSU from bitmainwarranty.com it will be a slightly more but all first 12-month replacement be provided within USA, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela and limited area in EU region. 

Spending $75-$100 on $120 item to receive replacement can be a bit pricy, so now plenty of PSU and parts are in stock to service larger farms as well.  Excuse our little markup on items but we can't be straw importing goods and sadly American Staffs can't be hired as volunteers.

If you have a dead PSU and not water damaged, please send us a message and will look into it on case by case for the moment.  PSU, regardless of where you purchase it, PLEASE KEEP the original packaging box.  It help protect sending the PSU back for repair/replacement.

If anyone has shipped a board back to Bitmain via Hong Kong and nothing much seems to be happening, its worth while emailing Bitmain support with your tracking details and ticket number to "remind" them to update their systems.

For the price of a polite email its worth doing before you get too hot under the collar and fire off one less tactful Smiley

With all my dealings with them its worth while keeping the lines of communication open yourself and being polite and reasonable wherever possible.

As an aside, I'd like to mention that @ OregonMines, we've been quite impressed with BitmainWarranty's Denver repair operation, including S9 work. For the first time in awhile, I felt like I was dealing with a company that understands communication and was in front of their tasks.

We're already preparing more work for them, and this has been a very positive development in terms of repair time turn arounds for customers.

Product Shipping: $15.00 >>>>>>>  this is cheap how long to NJ

Cheapest one if you are not in a hurry.  Its depends on the day, may go out via USPS Percel Post, Priority Mail or UPS, whichever the warehouse guys are able to pick/pack the latest.

UPS Ground option be UPS Ground but the last option is a mystery shipping.  The slowest speed be shipping from Denver, Colorado to your destination via Parcel Post via USPS on next business day shipout.  

UPS the best option for the warehouse as there is a daily pickup by the UPS and staffs know the cut off time to meet.



one of my s-9's went off line today.

I am going to check on it tomorrow it appears to be the entire unit.

Okay I took the 2 units that had trouble last month since one was dead and the other was attach via slots.

one controller is dead.  all boards on the dead controller  unit do work .  So I will order a new controller and a new psu. from bitmainwarranty.com  the dead controller is the same unit I purchased in August  that a board died in 10 hours.  So far this unit has mined for two weeks and been down or part down for three weeks.


and the s9 controllers are sold the fuck out. un freaking real i will mine with four boards on a controller for now




Sorry to hear your loss....

No offense but it looks super cool with 4 boards! It makes me think why we need another controller in first place. probably can remove it as spare part.

With BTC dropping I imagine we will see a new batch soon but I'll be damned if I am getting any more of these with the reliability issues.  I'm glad I haven't seen a serious problem yet but still months and months to go before break even.

Just how quiet can these S9's be?

Ive got an S7LN that's on 20% fan speed and runs at around 55c on each board. I don't intend on running the S9 (if I get one) at full speed due to electricity limitations but want around 4Th out of it. Would I be able to get it to run as quiet as the S7LN?

Thanks.

no  but  freq 300 and fan at 30% is something you should be able to do

Bitmain is "vigorously developing AI" according to J. Wu.

What would be that AI's warranty [most likely]?

Evil beware: We have waffles!
Item like this, if you receive it, USA/RU/UA locations will not charge you to solder them back on. (do request shipping fee be paid both way tho...)

BitmainWarranty emailed getting my loony batch-1 board and are looking at it. Looks like another board going to be headed their way even though the miner IS in warranty, even with repair cost is faster/prolly cheaper than sending it to Hong Kong.
I've heard about the loosely attached inductor in some hash boards that makes the board not to show up, but I guess that this is not that kind of a case?
1st I've heard of that and good to know. I'll find out tomorrow when I pull the board out during lunch.

If I see this on my board I have a 75w iron just for this kind of thing so will be an easy repair for me to do Wink

Any um' 'side effects' of the bad Vcore power to be aware of that this kind of fault could produce as in possible damage to the ASIC's?

Yikes! Ja that will be pretty obvious and hopefully an easy fix to solder properly.

I take it Bitmain and/or whomever they contract for PCB assembly never heard of AOI systems to catch this very obvious kind of thing?
