If that blade alone collapses an APW3 on 220V, it's a serious dead short. Check for solder bridging on the leads of the PCI connectors. If you don't see something obviously shorting the pins, you'll need to talk to bitmain.

Yeah... Seemed like a short. I'll look. Is that a warranty thing? Also is warranty process even worth it? Im in the US, I've heard of a place in Colorado, anyone have experience with them?

Yes, that is Bitmainwarranty that also sells parts and hosts miners (I have a couple S7s hosted with them hashing away with no downtime). They are a paid repair service IIRC (I also remember someone saying they are transitioning to becoming an official repair service for Bitmain) but there's been mostly positive reviews of them from what I can tell. Better than shipping a miner to China where they really don't do jack shit. It's really up to you, I'd suggest just contacting them and getting a repair quote and seeing if it isn't too much money to get the blade back up and running.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Darn! If it's a dead short please take pictures of the FETs on the board (the things next to the little transformer). I want to see what they look like when they cut-through, this is the first report I've heard of a dead short.
Note: If the S9 is out of warranty and shuts down the power supply I can fix this :-) But since yours is in-warranty (what is the warranty these days? 1y or 90d) you should contact Bitmain for a swap.

OK brain trust.. I see no burns or obvious shorts. How do I upload a picture? Also my 2 good boards hash on all 3 controller ports.

Imgur is good for uploading then post the URL of the image. What I'm looking for is a close up of the FETs to see if there is any bulging or discoloration on them. I'm curious to see if the addition of a second FET on the low side (which has to switch at a higher frequency) has caused the typical capacitance ringing problem where the FETs can't switch quickly enough and burn out even though you would think 2 fets are better than one....

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Flip it over, other side same area. The FETs are small square things with 4 pins on one side and what look like 4 on the other (ground plane).
So the unit starts up, then shuts down that power supply once it hits a certain spot in the boot sequence? If so it means when the PS tries to buck by turning on the shorted FET takes it down. One interesting thing about S9's is that they put a heat sink on the other side of the board for them, which indicates they are running those supplies harder than the S7's....

For those of you still following my saga... here is an update!
The board was repaired by bitmainwarranty.com and has been shipped back to me. The total cost for repairs and return shipping was exactly $200, which I could pay using paypal or crypto through coinbase. While they never disclosed to me what was wrong with it, they responded very promptly to all of my emails, updating me with (paraphrased)
"we have received it" "the tech is running diagnostics now" "the tech believes it can be repaired" "the tech has repaired it, please pay the invoice"
They shipped it out the same day I paid.
The entire process from me shipping out to having it back in hand took about a month, but Christmas and New Years undoubtedly slowed things down. It is expected to be delivered today and I'll throw it in tonight and see what happens. I am pretty confident that it will work, but I'll post one final time with the results.
In the meantime, I have been hashing away with just 2 boards at around 9 TH/s which has mined 0.037 BTC while awaiting the repairs. The warranty is shot on the rig, since I opened it up to send the board, but in the long run I think I have made out ahead.
Thanks to all those who commented and helped along the way! I'll post one more time after I get the board back in!

Glad to hear they could fix it. I’d say you made the right choice by sending it to them vs Bitmain. Interested to hear how it’s working.

Sweet. Glad it's fixed, and that's a pretty reasonable price for a FET swap. If Bitmainwarranty is doing a good job then that is very good to know.
I'd do about the same thing except I only take bitcoin and litecoin :-)

It is in and has been hashing for over 12 hours now. The whole rig is up to 13.5T just like it should be, pulling 1377 watts from the wall. The repaired board runs 8 - 10 degrees warmer than the other 2 (66, 68, 77), and has more hardware errors (9, 64, 257) but the total hw errors are .0002% which I've read is fine. I'm sure it is just coincidence the board runs hotter, I know that temps can fluctuate quite a bit between boards on the same rig.
They forgot to put the foam back on around the top of the board where the pcie plugs stick out so it was a bit loose and rattled. I have some self stick weatherstripping foam that was just the right size, so I slapped that on there and problem solved!
Thanks again for all of the help. I can wholeheartedly recommend bitmainwarranty for your repair needs.

That’s great news. Glad it all worked out for you. When you pay for 3 boards and only get 2 that reallly kills the excitement.

Great to hear. I'm waiting for their follow up now. I have 1 blade that got borked during a power outage.... I dont know how, but 19 other miners wasn't affected.

GbrilliantQ - I had to email once or twice for status updates, but each time an email came back within 24 hours. if your worried it's taking a bit longer than expected shoot an email out.
