Title: NEEDED: Bitmain Antminer S2 IO Controller Board
Post by: buttmunch on March 16, 2015, 11:15:46 PM
Hello,
I recently ordered a Bitmain Antminer S2 off of ebay for $420.00. Unfortunately, the unit was severely damaged during shipment (Thanx, USPS!). While I found replacement controller Board & ASIC Blades, I need an IO Board for the Beaglebone that plugs into the center slot of the controller board PCI strip. There is a deep gouge on the IO board but the Beaglebone appears to be OK.

I also have found some replacement capacitors for some of the damaged ASIC blades that had the original caps torn off by the USPS during transit.

I do need that IO board though.

Please help.

Thanx in Advance.

Not sure with name if you are real or trolling.  If real you might put in a Bitmain support ticket and see if they sell that piece.  I am not sure if they sell S2 parts still but that is your best bet.

I know with a S3 I had a bad part and bought a new part from them. (this was a little while back though)

I saw that board on e-bay recently.

I bid on that exact item but a couple of hours later, I was outbid :-(
I don't think I'm gonna get it.

I guess I'll have to resort to unsoldering the bad PCI socket and soldering in a new one........

Yes one of mine was damaged, boards everywhere.  Seems Bitmain used several different hold down structure designs for the pcb boards, some not so good.  Your best bet is to wait and get it on ebay, otherwise post in the "Computer Hardware" section under "Goods" and someone may have one for you.  It doesn't hurt to ask Bitmain but they seem to be hesitant in stocking spare parts for older models.

For now, the best option would be buy in the 2nd hand market... We do not sell S2 parts.

Capacitor on the other hand, you can buy them on Ebay, too but if you really can't buy it, we may have them in stock from USA side as I have seen the reels sitting on the shelving somewhere.

I would consider parting with one if the price were right.

Are you still looking to sell? I am looking for a new base board as well
