Hi R4v37,

May you have a try to exchange the suspected issue part from other miners running well?
Be sure the configuration and connection are correct, please send an email to [email protected] to ask shipping label for returning part after detecting the issue part.

yeah, 100% the controller board sir
already tried to exchange, and am sure this controller board is the main problem sir
it just wont start hashing or display status of the blades

about the configuration, am using the working one from other S1
same result, wont start hashing

ok sir, i'll try to email [email protected] again
hope i got some ray of hope

i just want them to try remote my pc (teamviewer) and check it by themself

Hi,
We will arrange RMA next Monday, UPS has a short break every Sunday.

ok sir, btw, am hoping that u try to remote my pc (teamviewer)
it'll be better you guys check it 1st, maybe some touches will make this dude running again Cheesy

about the RMA, i send this controllerboard back to you 1st? or otherwise?
lose 1week of mining... Undecided

If I was you I would ask Bitmain to send a new controller for now (which you will pay) and have them ship it ASAP, then return the faulty one and get refund.

hmmmm, i'll try Cheesy

still waiting some miracles.... Embarrassed

What is your problem exactly?
I have managed to fix my Ant's problem.
Maybe I can help.

my ANtminer S1 controller board wont start hashing

if i switch the bad controller board from the other good S1, it'll start hashing

tried to change the cables... flash firmware...etc
no hope

now am still waiting for bitmain to reply me about sending a good one (controllerboard)
but no hope,,, they're ignoring me now Angry

anyway, is there a way to change the controller board of S1 with something buyable from the local market?
i mean, like RPI, or MR3020?
i just dont know how to modify the cables

I have read several of your posts on this problem and something just came to me. The configuration for the controller board is stored on the board. So when you switch a known good working board you are also transferring a known good working configuration.

Hate to be a pain, but have you verified that your configuration on the "bad" board is exactly the same as on the good board? (I would personally keep the "good" board off the network and even use the same IP address as the good configuration just to be sure that the control board is bad.)

Hope this bit of advice helps and that you find some small configuration difference that gets it working for you! (Hate to deal with RMA stuff!)

yeah, tried to restore from the known good board Embarrassed

maybe the last option for me is, to search how to replace this board with something buyable rather than dealing with RMA
oh god, they're ignoring me Shocked

Decentralize your hashing - p2pool - Norgz Pool

i'll stick to this
problem is... IF bitmain send me a new / good control board...
IF they dont... i'll be damned, this S1 is as good as dead

if you don't get a new control board i'll take the blades off you and try get a different controller working with it. IF I get a dead s1 to butcher then i'd be happy to investigate and share the mod/hack if successful

Anyone got this to work with any other controller besides the one from Bitmain?

btw, is there a way to run the miner without the control board?
or can we change the controlboard?

i have to wait bitmain to reply to my case, and have to wait him send me a good controlboard

from what I can see in logs etc, the cables to the boards are USB spec. I imagine if you had the pinout and that cgminer supports the s1 hardware, that you should be able to theoretically run the boards as usb devices off whatever controller you want.
I'd be interested in investigating this, I have one s1 and another 2 on the way. one controller for 6 boards (such as a RasPi) could be cool.

than any router board that openwrt supports and has usb ports like the tp-link board in the antminers should work.

why would it need to support openwrt? Linux, windows in fact anything that runs cgminer (or bfgminer?) would work as long as they detect as usb/serial devices.

my assumption is the large ribbon cables are simply usb and the smaller one is power and usb interface for control board.

Well they did ask about changing the controlboard so I'm just saying that, I wasn't saying that anyone had to stick with it.
My assumption was they would want to stick to a lowcost/lowpower solution. which would be another router probably.
