Antminer S7 Failed Firmware Update

[hk135]

I calculated that from my original support ticket on their website it was 53 Days since I had received my miner and it had been 80 Days at the time they claimed I was out of warranty. Even taking into account that the warranty ran from the time of shipping it doesn't take 37 days to ship from anywhere to anywhere else and even 10 days would be a bit iffy.
In the end I got my new controller and my miner is up and running but I will continue to chase this with them but I would imagine that they will just ignore me from now.

Glad to hear you got it working, honestly I would leave it and not waste time on it "continue to chase this with them" will just cause you more trouble if they already decided it's out of warranty. What batch is your miner out of curiosity?

I would take it as a lesson next time just leave firmware alone if working fine.

Hi All

As per the title, I upgraded an Antminer S7 to the latest firmware and it never came backup (1 of 2 so def not a bad download). I have checked my DHCP Server for new IP addresses, no suck luck. There was 100% no power issues during the upgrade as the miner is in my works server room and I would have heard alot about it if there had been, the only thing that might have done it was switching browser tabs during the upload but I don't think so. The green light and fans never come on.... help!!

Any advice on how to recover this would be amazing, I know the S7 uses a beaglebone and the other equipment I have the uses it (kncminers) can be reflashed from an SD card but I don't know the S7 will.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do not break your S7! That is expensive device...!
Firmware update failure can break device!

if it says model: 10 does it mean batch 10 cos my aliexpress sellers wont tell me,
any ways i ran the update a month ago when one of my fans died on my s7 antminer and everything was working fine at 575 frequency instead of the 700 so now i received these delta fans (Original Delta 12038 dual ball bearings 12cm violet fan 12V 3.9A TFC1212DE) so obviously the ampage is higher, so now i did an update again to the older one so it can use both the fans.
problem now is when i plug both the old fans they dont work but when i plug in both the new fans they go until the lights for network turn on then they both turn off. i dont let the case get hot so i then power it all off is this what they mean by brick?
i just unzipped the SD-S7-20151211-700.tar.gz update and placed the files(which also includes another zip file as well but i left that zipped as it was) on a 2gb micro sd card. inserting the sd card in the bb board turned it on, same thing runs fans till network kicks in the off with the fans so i pressed the hard reset button for 10 sec while sd was still in and nada same thing.

ps. also did most of these with out the network cable plugged in, cos otherwise the boards start hashing without fans and i get a very hot case and i dont want to die
is the issue with the io board or the bb u think?

thanks in advance for replies.
