Title: 2 capacitors came off one of my Antminer S1's
Post by: redeyez21 on June 10, 2014, 08:01:23 PM
Hi guys,

I accidentally clipped two capacitors from one of my S1's, it looks like a clean break and both capacitors look fine to re-use


Would I simply be able to buy a soldering iron and re attach these?

thanks

As far as I know, there wouldn't be a problem soldering it again. Just solder it properly. If it doesn't work, see if you can get the same capacitors to replace them.

thanks buddy, I'll get on that tomorrow. The problem is on the master blade side, would it be ok to power up and hash with?

I think I'd need to unscrew it and get mobo to connect to the working blade otherwise

thanks for that

I think it's OK if the normal blade can hash, but don't let the broken blade hash until you have repaired it. I suggest you just leave it be for now, and fix it, then start hashing.
