I can see why people talk often about L3+ quality issues.
I was able to find a local seller with one August batch L3+ and buy it from him.
One of the four hash boards was faulty already when he received the miner from Bitmain.
So the first thing for me with the L3+ to do is send a faulty hash board to Bitmain.
Because this was sold from private person to a private person, the warranty is valid, luckily.
The seller also asked about this from Bitmain and they confirmed that it is ok.
But still I'm okay with all this, because the price was reasonable, I was able to have the miner right now, and Bitmain handled the communication with the previous owner well, so I should be able to do the warranty repair procedure easy.
Did he only have one? I would imagine better care is taken of bulk orders throughout the whole process of ordering, especially shipping, just by the nature of how shipping things works.
That's unfortunate, but even after losing 25% profits from a single machine, it would still be an insanely profitable miner, that's the beauty of them
