I thought the LAN adapter was USB.

Have you considered just replacing it with an S5? Given how cheap the S5's are now, considerably higher hashrate-efficiency, etc. I personally wouldn't be willing to invest any time in diagnosing or replacing parts on an S3. Even with free electricity, you are better off with S5's. Just my opinion before you invest too much time/money into it.

I found this in the defective one..

Code:

root@antMiner3:/dev/bus/usb/001# ls
001  002

Code:

root@antMiner3:/dev/pts# ls
0

and in a working unit it look like this

Code:

root@antMiner8:/dev/bus/usb/001# ls
001  002  004

Code:

root@antMiner8:/dev/pts# ls
0  1

anybody know how to fix this?..
