I just bought a used S3 antminer to learn mining. The box got to me with a broken part. But the seller told me it does not matter that it will still work fine. So I started the S3 and it really worked, but only mined for the previous owner. After changing the miner configuration to my own data the miner stopped mining.
I have read alots of suggestion in the forum but could not fix the miner to work for me, but I AM STILL LOST... NO SOLUTION...
Can this be a problem from the broken part during the shipment? There is a small cylinder-like object, see picture below, SORRY FOR MY LAYMAN EXPLANATION
What is the use of this part and can the S3 work without the part?

here is the system log file: any useful hint here on what is happening with my S3.

Please kindly advices.

Problem solved...
I flashed the firmware and reset the Miner.
It started mining after rebooting and think the problem is setup data corrupted some where.
however I am still not sure the effect of the broken condenser?? on the whole troubles.
If anyone know what that pieces does on the S3, I will appreciate advices and suggestions.
I mean the broken part in this board's picturehttps://drive.google.com/open?id=1vRRzUM84r7hgNpSyDgzeYeGk7CxSjAFy
Thanks

KikkeLosada,

You could have just connected a network cable from your laptop directly to the Ant Miner and made the IP on the laptop to match the network of the miner. Anyway, you've gotten past this already...
I recommend you review the settings on your new miner and update with your Bitcoin Address AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, otherwise you may be still mining for the previous owner.
I recommend youtube. You can find detailed step-by-step videos on how to set up and even overclock your miner if you want to.
Cheers,

Log back in like you did the first time since it is back on static IP (I think) and enable "DHCP client" under NETWORK>INTERFACES>WAN(edit)>PROTOCOL. Did that for an old S3+ and haven't had an issue with it reverting back to static ever. No reason in my opinion to not be in DHCP for the average person, or at least not that I am aware of.

sorted not sure how i did it took me 2 hrs to sort with a laptop lol

You lost the IP or interface so just reset it ..

There is a little pin hole in the back by the ethernet port. Put a toothpick in there and hold for 5 seconds and release. Wait about 3-4 minutes to reboot, after reboot power down the power supply and reboot one more time. After it comes back up you will see it on the default IP which is 192.168.1.99

Some people needed to do this process twice but it always worked for me on the first shot.

OK. I bough a used S3, finally I had the time to get it power up, could not find the IP address, I did the reset button and never got it reset to default 192.168.1.99

I held it for 5 sec. while power on and continue after power off for 5 sec. and same for 10, and 30 seconds and power on and off like any other router type equipment.
(if I did something wrong or if there is a special sequence please let me know) I would love to set this miner to all factory settings

I finally bough out an old router and set it up 192.168.1.1 and laptop in one port and Antminer in another port - no internet wifi on , used an app on my phone to scan all IPs on the network and found it at (Static IP) 192.168.1.127 - finally log in and change settings - using DHCP to my own network 192.168.0.xxx

Got it to start mining and I logged back in and set it to Static IP 192.168.0.95 and after save and restart I can't log in
network settings
gateway 192.168.0.1
submask 255.255.255.0
DNS 192.168.0.1 8.8.8.8
broadcast 192.168.0.255
router is telling me that it is at 192.168.0.95 . S3 is mining but I can SSH in or login through web interface

I unsure that the reset button works . all previous owner information was on the miner when I finally found the IP addresses and logged in

any help would be greatly appreciated

You all should have sold S3's a long time ago

good day guys.. my antminer s3++ stops hashing after 1hr at 200m frequency, the other side of hashing board is dead so it runs around at 200 +-10 Ghs, i tried to reduce to 196m frequency then it started hashing stably but at minimum speed of 100Ghs - 130Ghs... i know its already broken half but maybe anyone of you guys have an idea whats wrong with this? thank you guys.

I have and run it for 6 month one time at max over clock with out issue and sold it a few months after that im told by that buyer it still runs great i wish i had keep it . The one i have now i over clock to much with kano update for CGminer that unlocks the over clocking limits in the GUI and Burt out a chip .

S3 were and still are that good just outdated !! S1 were to but i don't run my S1 anymore it just sets for parts and i hope some nice bitfury boards one day .

OPs you said under clocking my bad

Each S3 had it's own personality. Even from same batch same everything some did better then others. Only way to find out is try it... see results. You will find some overclock well other's do not.

Also batch 1 was the worst off any of them. If you have S3+ you know you don't have one, but batch 1 was so bad everyone got partial refund. They just did not hit spec and did not OC well on some.

So all depends on the unit. You will have to test to know.

Hiya,

Has anyone had good results underclocking the S3?
I have a bunch not mining for a year and a half and wondering if better to underclock them rather than sell them.

I bought 2 used S3's and plugged them in, they immediately started running. Easily changed the pools and man these are super quiet and run better than my s5

S3s and S1s are the sweet spot for most home miners, it's not surprising that people like us choose these miners for low noise over power consumption. Because for hobby miners, you'll probably like to keep boise levels down. I run my S3s next to my gaming rig and it's quiet enough to not disturb my mic when i'm playing CS:GO, but S5s I keep in the basement. 2loud5me Cheesy

Change home router to 192.168.1.1

It is much simpler to change the IP address on one of your computers to 192.168.1.x to then be able to access the antminer rather than changing your router and possibly f'ing up your whole home network.

yes but don't you see he's cableless. and not really any different. they both require one simple change.

Hi I have been trying to set up my antminer s3 with a wireless bridge because I don't have access to a direct ethernet cord into the router. So pretty much I'm connecting the bridge via Wi-Fi to my wireless network and then plugging the antminer directly into the bridge. Is there anything special I need to do to make this work? Is it even possible to do it this way? I'm thinking it is... But I'm not sure if I'm missing something because I can't get it to work. What are the setup steps for doing this?

When you say " I don't have access to a direct ethernet cord into the router." Do you have temporary access to make changes on S3? Or no access at all?

Also it would depend on your wireless bridge settings. But your normally can't go wrong with DHCP on most wireless bridges. I personally like static if you can get a chance in same IP pool.

Change home router to 192.168.1.1 ,, reset antminer, it will now become xxx.1.99 and you can find it on your home network. then change the antminer to use dhcp and change your router back to what it was before.

sorted not sure how i did it took me 2 hrs to sort with a laptop lol

You lost the IP or interface so just reset it ..

There is a little pin hole in the back by the ethernet port. Put a toothpick in there and hold for 5 seconds and release. Wait about 3-4 minutes to reboot, after reboot power down the power supply and reboot one more time. After it comes back up you will see it on the default IP which is 192.168.1.99

Some people needed to do this process twice but it always worked for me on the first shot.

I think you missed a few posts. I already suggested reseting it, and asked him what did the trick after he posted:
