If  you can log into the web control panel but it doens't mine, or able to use anothr control PCB and the miner will start hashing, there is a chance the Control Pcb's firmware may need updated.

Please try downloading this and update your firmware (downgrade) to this version. (Please select options NOT to keep the previous setting)

If the above doesn't work, please return the S3 control PCB and we will send you a replacement.

I have an S3 with the same issue. Been in contact with bitmain and after confirming its a faulty board (swapping board from a working unit). I am waiting to hear back from BM.

In the future you can get S3 support here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671189.0) or here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653.0). There is no need for a new thread for every issue.

You can send your damaged s3+ control board to Bitmain warranty and they will repair it and send it back to you. It is cheaper then to buy new control board if they had any...

@sieve66,

what country are you located?  (You don't have to answer in public but you can email us support@bitmain.zendesk.com)

S3 or S3+ control PCB is BRIKED, then it can be serviced in USA, EU or Ukraine at the moment at minimum fee.  ($15 USD for North America & 15 Euro for EU/Ukraine area)

If it is burnt, then no, it can not be serviced.
