Typically what happens is a VRM resistor isn't installed properly, and overvolts a VRM. This causes the ASICs to fail, which since they also draw from the 3.3V line, shorts the 3.3V to ground (or, well, 0.7 to 0.8V) and sometimes explodes the 3.3V buck regulator (IC102). Probably if you can identify which VRM isn't working properly (one somewhat reliable way is to see which one's outputs are shorted, or fire it up and measure for improper output voltages) and pull those ASICs. That might get the rest of the board working. I have a few here that I got from others (some overclocked, some not) where VRMs had failed and roasted a bank of ASICs, and some of them are working again on 7 banks.

^^^ This is what i think is probably the culprit.  I started trying to track down which VRM it was but i just dont have the time nor proper workspace to do this ( i live in a cramped LA apartment with my gf ).  Hopefully you can get it fixed, if not, at least you get a overclock kit.

I honestly have no interest in doing escrow ( because I've never done it ).  I'm throwing in one of the gekkoscience OC kits with the device which is about worth the 5 TBC by itself.

First person willing to throw caution to the wind and live like a bad ass gets it.  USA only.

we only have the fun we make ourselves. Smiley I'll take it without escrow. PM me with your details. But please add lots of trust points Smiley to my account afterwards. And i'll do the same Smiley

I have a unit I attempted to upgrade that is not ouputting the proper voltage ( .8v vs 3.3v ).  It is possible this is fixable as the device may just have a blown cap or reg, i'm just not sure how to find it.  I will include the upgrade kit with the unit and will answer questions related to the device.  I'm in Los Angeles, can ship anywhere in the USA.

Asking 0.05 coins or $50 paypal.

Thanks

I have tons of pictures, i don't know if they would be of any use.

No I'm not a scammer, if I was, I would say it works 100% instead of selling it so cheap.

I've never used escrow, the value is so low its probably not even worth it but what do I know.
