I tried that and it simply won't turn on without all 4 boards plugged in. I also tried moving the remaining three connectors to different places and no luck, still won't turn on. I have the latest firmware too if that makes any difference.

eta: I tried something potentially risky and swapped the controller with another C1 that has 4 good boards. Seems to have fixed it. It works now with any combination of boards connected with the other controller. Kinda strange but I'm not complaining. Thanks for the input VirosaGITS. I appreciate it.

My C1 was able to run with a board down.  I had one that eventually had 1 board I could not get fixed, and one that was hit/miss.  But I'm pretty sure I was able to unconnected the ones that didn't work (it's been a while).

Eventually I parted out on it, and made more then I thought I would.  I have no idea on market no compared to then but you might look at parting it out.

No problem. I've run the S5 controller with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 boards. It always work. Same for S1 with 0, 1, 2 board. I'm pretty sure your C1 controller should be able to do the same. Good luck with your rig.

I have a C1 with one dead board. I took it out and it no longer powers up. If I plug it in, the unit powers up, but the board doesn't hash. I know whats wrong with it, there are tiny black components under the heat sink that came off. I wouldn't mind fixing it but I have no idea what they are and searching for the numbers on them turned up nothing. That's a separate issue though (wouldn't mind input on that anyhow). Is there some way to get it to boot if I take one or two boards out? My intentions are to take out two boards, the broken one and one of the working ones. I've looked through all the settings on the web interface and can find nothing and I've searched google and here and found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should simply have to unplug the boards from the controller, nothing fancy should be needed. When you boot, it should pick up the one that are connected.
