I tried connecting a paperclip to TX-RX on the serial-USB cable and I get no echo on the putty window

I have 2 raspberry pi serial-usb adapters but with the 3 debug holes do I connect the soldered male connector pins to the cables white, green, black (left-right)?
I am getting some response from the putty window on the parameters set on 115200, 8, 1, n, xon/xoff but can't get it to reset or reinstall the firmware?  I don't think I'm getting echo, sometimes I type and I get strange characters different from typed

If you have it set up send a ticket over to Bitmain: https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us   They can help with serial to usb.   

I know they have a guide they send out for it, that I don't think I've seen posted on here ( I could be wrong on that).

Also can you take some pictures so we can understand your wiring better?  A picture just makes it so much easier then words describing it.

I did accidentally cut 2 of the black wires on the power supply but it still powers up and the red light is on on the controller

how do I fix this problem??  I need to ship my working s3+ to a buyer.  I can't find the s3+ on ip scanner when it was on 192.168.1.3 before.  I changed the WAN, WWAN, LAN and put in IP addresses and tried to turn on DHCP based on online tutorials. I'm trying a factory reset right now.


Factory reset should put it back on 192.168.1.99, if you are running newer firmware.  If you are running old firmware and you messed up the IP config, you may have to send it to Bitmain for reflashing.

Before sending in or reflashing try to get a usb to serial adapter.  You can try to flash it yourself.   If you can do this you will save a lot of money vs shipping to get it fixed.
