No firmware will work if all chips are not found.

Yeah, the Bitmain style testers like the Zeus tester are painfully slow for troubleshooting. I started using the Asic.Repair tester (https://tester.asic.repair/en), which will run the count test in a loop indefinitely, giving you all the time you want to probe the test points.

I saw those sell online. So these models do loop uninterrupted? I wasn't really sure so I doubted to buy one due to the higher price...

try braiins software via an sd card.

lower the freq to 50 and hit the board with a box fan airstream.

braiins has the option to drop freq to 50

and to set fans needed to zero.

I have Asic.to. I think all the same options are on there too. So I set the asic.to software on the test fixture and let it run with the fans right?

Do you put a fan on the hashboard while running it with the test fixture or zeus tester as you call it?

Without the fan, it will automatically shut down due to overheating.

Yes I have my fans directly on it. The hashboard barely warms up. It directly shuts down after it tries to restart it a few times due to the lower than 65 chips found...

Hello there,

So I have a whole bunch of pain in the ass defect S17+ hashboards.
I've been mining for years now so I got quite some equipment and tools laying around.
I also have a Zeus chip tester with the S17+ software and everything.

So I've been fooling around with it for 2 days now trying to find the defect chip.
First pain in the ass: The damn hashboards keep shutting down due to only 64 chips found (you know the regular S17+ bullcrap). This is with the Zeus tester plugged in to it. Is there any way to let the hashboard continually powered on without the automatic shut down so I get enough time to measure the chips with my volt-meter?

It's a real pain in the ass to push the test button every few seconds and wait for half a minute for the whole damn thing to power up.
