I have been contacted by Yoshi of Bitmain warranty.
I will need to pull board take photos and send to Colorado. Better then spending 110-149 to ship to China.
I will drive to the solar array on monday and pull boards. I will continue to post how it is handled. Include Emails with redacted info I.E. my personal info. I go back to older times in BTC when BFL and real asic ripoffs were all over the place. So I actually want Bitmaintech to figure a better warranty method. Including the idea I posted above. I.E. a discount for no warranty Since shipping a piece of gear and spending 110-150 to be told no warranty is bad for business.
I salute you for your efforts and I get it that you want it to be better for everyone.
Hopefully, it would not be a one-off deal, but something that will change their understanding of the situation.
People cannot continue to buy miners that brake even in a year while warranty is so inadequate.
That said, no warranty at all is just a recipe for potential abuse. They need to make it 1 year.
Yeah maybe 6 months and maybe a better method then shipping to China and getting rejected.
Here are 2 photos of the dead board. Some things to note it looks to have zero damage.
It has hand written notes on one side.
The good boards in that miner have no writing. My guess is this board had a fail on its quality check at the factory and then a tired or careless worker installed it.
I worked in assembly line work to help pay for my college degree. This error happens more then one would think.
I am pretty sure I will get a replacement board Which reminds me I will need to give Yoshi a return address.
notice good board has no writing here
