The third reset method (IP Report button) does not apply with the S15.

After pressing the resert for 15s nothing happenes, the leds remain the same. Fault and green constant on, also the internect connection leds green and yellow are on without blinking. Embarrassed The PSU is ok i checked.

There are 3 ways to factory reset the miner how about the IPreporter have you tried it?

I will put the link here below so that you can find which reset method is working to s15.

Check the method from here "3 ways to factory reset the miner"

If all of them are not working you have to report it to bitmain directly don't touch any hardware related as the suggested above if your miner is under warranty you have to directly report it to bitmain support.

The S15 control board can be removed, you just have to unscrew those metal rails and pull the hashboards back before you can pull the control board out. Doubt this is necessary in this case however.

Sounds like something has shorted on the board, that's usually the only reason to see the fault and normal lights stay continuously solid. If all reset types fail and you still can't get any dhcp request, you'll probably need a new board.

I have some brand new S15 control boards in case you are located in the US or Canada, perhaps we can work something out.

I'd plug it directly to a computer and do full network scan (as in all 32 bits). But before that you could try plugin it to a dhcp router and see the logs to see if if got an ip assigned.

If possible do it with the controller alone, none of the hashboards. But i'm not sure how easy it is to do that with the S15.

Bitmain is not releasing s15 control board recovery yet.

Anyway, can you try to hard reset the miner follow this step below?

- Run the miner for 5 minutes
- Push the IPreporter/Reset button for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Then Release
- Wait to the miner to run for 1 minute then try to scan the IP again.

Let see if you can find the IP after the factory reset.

Also, check the PSU if it's giving enough power if you have multitester you can check the output it should around 12v.

Hello,
After some months my s15 suddently lost the connection and can't connect to it.
Cannot find the IP anymore, probably the control board has problems. I'm thinking maybe the firmware got busted and can be rewrited.
Is it possible to rewrite the firmware with the SD ? Can some one give some informations or help me get it back to life ?

Kind regards!
