that removal process can leave pins touching as in the video causing shorting out great solution BA.

Their manual upgrade virtually guarantees that the miners will no longer explode, in line with their promise.

They never promised the miners wouldn't short out.

Reserve not met.

Link should go to 3 X3s' auction on ebay. Final bid 3100 for 6 THs of X3s.

Unclear to me if there is some substory specific to the listing on why it didn't make reserve.

Joint third-worst along with AMT and HashFast. Only BFL and VMC score worse.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

I retract my offer. My secret method of capacitor removal has been revealed. :-)

(Well, that's one way to do it)

Be sure to watch this video VERY carefully,removing the caps in your X3 is EXTREMELY complex!!!!!!! Wink

I hope to god BA didn't post that procedure... If they did they just violated sooo many rules.
As a 'hobbyist' item perhaps it can be gotten away with. As a Consumer item - no. At that level as in No Consumer Replaceable parts.

Let me guess - those caps are in the hot zone right? And were perhaps the 'wet' variety? Roll Eyes

I think they did,I found it here:

Jesus Christ this video was publish by BA!? Shocked

Is this a joke?

This also assumes your hands are small enough to get in there and manipulate the caps that way. Would BA be responsible if someone cut themselves and got tetanus or something?

The fact that they don't plan on selling the 14nm miners to the public just further proves they intended to screw us over. If they knew they weren't going to sell the next gen miners they had no worries screwing us over because none of us would be repeat customers anyway.

So anyway if anyone has a X3 that blew up and wants me to look at it, I would be willing to give it a go. I am currently dissecting the BFL Monarch, fun but they don't seem to catch fire.

I ordered in Nov/2013 and paid on 30.11.2013.
I received nothing. No Prospero X3. No refund. Nothing.
BlackArrowSoftware is just scam.

what they do for safety of miners? I see on forum miners are burning.

I see on forum people ask question for safety but no answer for safety.

Best advice is to simply unplug the power cable, in that way is the fire hazard greatly reduced.

Thank you.

I know to not use now. I not have order yet.

When they fix, I am not liking to use even then.

Good very for you.
