Sorry everyone for starting such a heated discussion over repairs.
I just finished contacting my second local college and found some interesting things about the bitmain s1 antiminer.
The motherboards are NOT normal boards and can not be soldered on. Heat will destroy them. Guess this is the future of motherboards now. They are only one sided boards with everything added in layers over layers using some form of adheasive/electrical process to make things stick and connect.
What happened on mine (and just realized it was a brand new one just got in 10 days ago) was the item pulled away from the motherboard completely. Just fell off. Piss poor workmanship all done by computers.
Of course I purchased several off ebay as new and can't return them so I'm out, my bad I guess. Anyway bitcoin is always a high risk venture and always will be for the time being.
Guess will be selling it for parts for best I can get. Just letting everyone know the motherboards are not like TV or computer boards etc. That is why they don't repair them. If they work good enough to pass test that's all they care. I have 7 computers and workstations and only 2 have similar motherboards where items (at least larger ones) can't be replaced without microscopes and some sort of fancy adhearing processs etc.
Good to know , thanks for info ... I checked the pics and it can only be SMD cap if that's the case , maybe you should try emailing few bigger and better equipped electronic repair services just in case before you give up.Whatever process they are using to put components onto these boards those processes can be repeated with right tools,I wouldn't give up on it just yet , i bet these people could do it http://info.zentech.com/blog/?Tag=Electronics+Repair+Services you still amaze me ! wow I wanna shop where you sell, do u sell apples You did take a nap , it was almost 8hrs, OP wtb apple and or a pear |

90 days of Warrenty: If your antminer damaged during the warrenty, just ship back the units and we replace you a new ones. Business plans/proporals, custom service and RMA request: info@bitmaintech.comMight be worth a try too , seems like such a waste , parts won't get you much of your money back. |

I buy my apples and peers on a place like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7S_k0266Gw  I can't say I understand more than half things you're saying to me so I'll just stop trying to do it now. It's 12 PM here now so sleep is not out of the question at this point  |

Good thing I only logged in here today to get to my Bitcointalk watchlist :-) For awhile there I thought I had fallen through a black hole and ended up in an alternate universe. Someone please complain about the reported hash rate or something just to assure me I've managed to find my way back. |

I'm off to Vegas once I have the answer. |

You've been around long enough to know you'll check back at the pool and cry about all the blocks you missed the moment you leave. |

I will cry no more than 3 pages I promise I'm still waiting on the answer of how to fix LUCK. I got the coin in my hand now please tell me how to make it always land heads up without modifying its physical properties |

actually, our luck is being pretty consistent. BTCguild's is about the same as ours.
size doesn't matter.

I just got a Dragon 1 Ths miner and I'm struggling to get it to work here.
My Avalon works fine.
The Dragon works fine at Guild.
I have a feeling this is a minimum difficulty setting as Guild allows me to set 1024 which lets the miner work.
There is no such setting at Slush though.
Any other Dragon miners got their machines running here?

Not a Dragon miner, but if you use a proxy, you may be able to trick the pool to keep higher diff (between restarts) - make sure you put login details in the proxy instead of the miner (see -cu -cp) |

[...] I have a CoinTerra running at Slush's pool, and it does suck for a little bit when it starts up at a difficulty of 3. But it doesn't take very long for it to vardiff itself up to 1100 or 1200. Is vardiff not working for you? Is that the problem you're seeing, or is it some other connection problem? |
