Are you sure the powersupply is OK? Title: Re: Overheated S4 Antminer, what to do? Post by: antminer33 on February 13, 2016, 03:25:38 PM Is it totally dead? Or is it some kind of life in it? Are you sure the powersupply is OK? I dont get any lights, nothing! I thought when they hit 80 they shut down for safety not completely! What happened, when I set the room up the door closed and before I noticed they room over heated and that miner shut down. Thanx Title: Re: Overheated S4 Antminer, what to do? Post by: xqus on February 13, 2016, 04:07:44 PM First make sure the powersupply is ok.
If it's totally dead, no fans or nothing i would suspect the psu. There might be a thermal protection inside the PSU. Are you able to measure the PSU in any way? Disconnect everything, and connect a fan to it? I don't have any special knowledge about the S4, but i suspect it's pretty much the same as S6. Title: Re: Overheated S4 Antminer, what to do?

I think you said you had more s4's I have no idea if you skills at tearing down gear. If you are up to the task of pulling 1 psu from a working s4 to put in the dead s4 if the dead s4 work you are certain you need a psu. Title: Re: Overheated S4 Antminer, what to do?

Title: Re: Overheated S4 Antminer, what to do? Post by: notlist3d on February 19, 2016, 04:17:13 PM Also OP before running again if your getting this hot to cause damage.... work on cooling. I would not run again if you know it is hot to the point it will damage miner's.
I think you need to do this for the 9 others. As if problem is still there you chances will have it happen again. But I hope it was just PSU. Might open it up and see if visible damage due to heat on anything. |
