Dead die?

This is an October Jupiter that's been running from 24/7. Noticed I have a dead die. I already increased the SPI voltage all the way up to 3.3V and it wouldn't kick it on. Then I slowly increased the individual die voltage to the MAX, which is +.1465. Didn't awake up the die either. Is there anything else that can be done to kick this die on?  I would really thought that the rig would last a lot longer then 8 months.

I also hope they don't switch Plan B off for a week after they ship your Neppy, as it takes about a week to receive a unit what with shipping time plus customs delays.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but I thought Sam said it's either or, Plan B or wait, did he change it?

Found what I had read: http://www.coindesk.com/kncminer-offers-plan-b-case-neptune-miner-delivery-delay/

“Plan B is simple,” Sam Cole, one of KnCMiner’s co-founders, told CoinDesk: “If we face a delay or any type, we will give each person a choice.”

This is a plan that the company is putting in place for paying customers of its latest model, the 3TH/s Neptune miner.

The options are as follows:

1. Continue to wait.

2. Take a USD refund.

3. Convert to 3TH of hosting performance for a period (still to be worked out, but is likely to be around 6 months).

This is where it said a choice...

That's just journalistic interpretation. Or rather crap journalism.

My past charm on that:
Block the heatsink fan on that pcb with a piece of cardboard until your temp reads 80C, and if that doesn't kick it on, keep the temp @ 80 while lowering the voltage. once it kicks on, keep the temp adjusted to between 70 and 80

Dead die?

I had this on an October Jupiter, for me it was the plug of a power cable which fried in the PSU and didn't deliver full power. This happened to other cables I replaced (modular rail) as well over time, until I switched to a stronger PSU.

Difficulty has risen again. Super Jupiter does now 0.15238969 BTC per day. (3.17 TH/s)

In July +/- 0.065 BTC per day.

In August +/- 0.04366 per day.

sigh i wanted zerocoin (they had a good 'hook' as an anon coin) to come out as sha-256
so we could all drag out our old sha-256 equipment start with no pre-mine at 0 difficulty
would have been a hoot....everyone and his brother dragging out old cpu/gpu/usb/asic
machines..would have taken off like a rocket imho

alas....no sha-256 coin with decent 'hook' imho so Jupiter will wind down by probably
July (Oct version)

my Jupiter is doing (was doing) .0066 per block as of old difficulty so that would be at 18%
more or less .005412 per block on slush it seems....I'm at 561.5 gh ver 1.01 stock

need to ramp it up with the pandelo(sp?) 1.01.1 version ...but it just started acting
flaky here yesterday had to reboot..i may have already run the wheels off

anyway for anyone interested ..more or less the above

I believe the only people making ROI on the equipment KfC sells is KfC.

While probably true for Franken & Neptune...
If you didn't ROI on their first 28nm batch... You probably didn't buy one.

How do you turn overclocking off? Give the module no air and suffocate it?

november batch was insanely profitable. overclocked those jups made btc x3.

it's dead and bloody fucked

RMA it and they'll send it back with 3 dead dies.. same board!!

Super, so you're telling me I just wasted $50 to ship (RMA) a dead November module back to Knc? Hopefully they ship one back that works.

[SgtMoth]

24 boards--22 running boards, missing 2 cables= 3.6t
4 more boards of replacements to go and my oct jupiter to get going again, ran out of parts, no more cables, heatsinks and beaglebones.  I need 4 boards repaired too.

The difference between then and now is that they have a gajillion used boards sitting around. So maybe you'll get a different board that actually works. Before they were stockpiling and hashing with all of the available boards so the RMA process was a complete joke. Now it's just a joke because they are sending half-baked, well-worn boards from the datacenter they are clearing out for the next gen.

How do you turn overclocking off? Give the module no air and suffocate it?

It is not the die, it is your VRM not starting up.

Try to reboot a few million times and if still does not start up, you will need to change the VRM module.

There is some way also to wake it up soldering bypass resistors, but then will be no controllable from your GUI anymore.

Oh hey, that sounds like fun! Everyone should break out the soldering gun rather than RMA.

Or rather, they should just live with the defect because trying to fix it isn't cost effective... at all.

Wake up people! Anything that doesn't gain you at least 1 THs these days isn't worth you worrying about. Things have changed drastically over the past few months. Worrying about 160GHs is a waste of your time and effort.

[poodle63]

Then break your warranty out, eventhrough few weeks remain, you still could choose RMA, because we do not have KNC released document to proof soldering and wiring work do it ourself, rather wait few days for replacement parts.
