Title: S17 & T17 range hashboard repairs
Post by: D-JoMiners on March 23, 2021, 10:44:28 PM
I have several faulty miners needing hashboard repairs. I have all the equipment, and a basic knowledge of electronics.
I can find many helpful links for repairing S9 hashboards. But not many for any newer models.
I suppose mainly I am looking for the expected resistances and voltages at the test pins for each chip, and how to diagnose which chip actually requires replacing.
Also, are the temperature sensors part of the chips, or are these separate components?
Thank you

Here the repair manual for S17 > https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=170
and this is for the T17 > https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=187

If you need other manuals for other models just search within the same website, also for more information on how to fix them and what tools you need, I sugest you read this topc (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217949.0)

The chip temp sensor is a part of the chip, but the PCB sensors are 4 different once and they are located near the chips usually around the 4 corners of the hashboard, I have investigated this topic intensively here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5244120.0) and I arrived at the conclusion that it's almost never about a bad temp sensor even if the kernel log tells you it is.
