I've had two miners with the same symptoms. I made the boards work again by simply changing places with another board in the miner. I suppose it was sheer coincidence that it worked, but what can I say, it worked. So you could try this, too. Just open your miner and exchange the places of the broken board with a functioning board. Maybe it works ^^.

I'd like to learn to fix these myself, is there a good thread around here that covers most issues with these boards?

There is ZERO info as to what typically goes wrong. I too would give my eye-teeth to get a handle on it. The only general symptom usually is the Vcore regulator shutting down (red LED light on board near the PCIE sockets not lit). As to *why* -- unknown. Either the regulator itself fails or a chip or bypass cap shorts out shutting it down.

I just received some S9's, of the bunch it appears I have two dead boards. I tried different PSU's on each miner, rebooted, updated firmware etc and nothing improved. I know this is beating a dead horse around here, but any thoughts on what may be wrong? I'd like to learn to fix these myself, is there a good thread around here that covers most issues with these boards?

Here's the screen shots of my status page for each miner with a dead board:

https://i.imgur.com/61Yug56.jpg - This one shows all 3 chain stats but one isn't hashing

I'm gonna try a Bitmain support ticket, I expect they will want to ship the who miner back... Recent posts suggest BitmainWarranty.com hasn't been active?

Thanks very much, I'll return the favor when I learn more about this Tongue
