25  Economy / Speculation / Price Forecast on: December 06, 2013, 11:18:51 PM
I see a sharp increase for the next 8 hours. If you want to buy the time is now.
Most of the news from China is psychological and people will start realizing this today, pushing the price up.

The Chinese will be up and about in a couple of hours. I see them buying at such low prices. Its time to buy.

What do you forecast for the next 8 hours?

I can tell you what's wrong.

The FETs in the 12 volt to 1 volt DC-DC power converter have shorted out/blown. This happens if you flash the unit with a version that runs the chips all-out (which is more than what the DC-DC can handle).

If you flashed it, you have a RMA problem. If you didn't, call BFL and have them ship you out a new one immediately.

DO NOT try to use a "bigger" power supply. What will happen is you will feed the short and simply smoke the hell out of the board.

If you can't RMA it and would like to sell it for parts, please PM me; I am looking for a dead jally/single to test some thoughts on.

Well, I didnt flash it.

I wish it was that simple. Call BFL and get them to ship a new one out. Thats the kind of thing a person dreams of.
After waiting a year and only using it for a month you'd think thats the least they could do.

Anyways, do you think I can swap the FET? What do I need exactly? And how do you think it blew?

Thanks

I'd say to first test the input and see if you have 0 ohms.  If that is the case, there is likely a bad solder joint somewhere that is touching the 12V to ground.  I'd inspect near the input plugs and see if there is anything obvious.  If you know anything about soldering, all you'd need is a good hot soldering iron and a soldersucker to remove the excess causing the short.  If you are uncomfortable with soldering, then you'd probably have to RMA it.

Yeah, great advice.  The product is under warranty and you think he should start fucking around with a solder iron.  *golf clap*  Another great idea from the likes of BCP19.

Normally I wouldn't support bcp19 but he's right.  Having been the recipient of dead BFL hardware the warranty is of no use is nobody will accept an RMA (have you tried to RMA with BFL).  Fixing it yourself or finding somebody locally at this point is the better option, in 3 months it may not even be worth shipping back.

It kinda is worth it now, to ship back I mean. BUT, its been a week and no reply from Bfifi. SO, at some point you gotta get over the fact that you were lied to, cheated, been treated like a moron in exchange for ALOT of cash and just get on with it.

If anyone has had the same prob, can you pls tell me if you resolved it and how? Alot of single sc's seem to have probs, there must be someone with similar issues.

Thanks for the input guys.

Hey guys

At first I thought it was the power suppply. But after testing the power supply I was getting 13V and the light of the power supply came on when not plugged into the single.

But when I plugged it into the single, the psu light goes off the fans on the Single SC turn half way then everything just stops. Like some kind of short circuit.

Any ideas?

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I get nothing when I plug the power supply in. It just cuts out. Nothing wrong with the solder points, everything seems intact. Strange for it to go like this. It was working fine and then it just went!

Hi Guys

Im pleased to let you know that we have started a mining hosting & management service.

The cost of this service is 0.0039 BTC per Watt per month. For example 270 W miner would cost (270x0.0039) 1.053 BTC per month to host.

Your hosted units will be added to a mining farm and you will be paid out on a regular basis.

Main advantages include, hosting in a low profile country, security, off grid power source. Since you will be hosting in a low profile country there will be no danger of getting your miners confiscated by local authorities.

If you want to manage your miners yourself, a laptop can be rented locally for a fee. We will provide you with an engineer if you need manual assistance.

You will be responsible for shipping you miner to us. Customs duties and handling fees are 30% of the value of your miner. You must send an invoice with your miner so we can pay customs on the value.

Pls pm me if you are interested for further info.

Kindly
NChosting
