Hey Guys.
The repairs are being done by one of the members of our group buy. His forum name is tk1337. I have spoken with him for an extensive time and i trust him. He has a lot of experience with this sort of thing as well as all the equipment required to do the job. By all means, if you feel up for doing the fix yourself please do, otherwise, send your boards to the address on the labels and it will happen nice and quick.
In terms of security, you all have this persons name and address on the mailing label too so we can go lynch mob him if things go wrong, though they won't. :-) I believe this is the best and fastest way for all our U.S. members to get their boards sorted out. Feel free to write to me if you have further concerns.
Cheers

I live in Florida,across the coast,but I could drive over in case of an "emergency"  Thanks Barntech for your follow thru & bobsag3 for helping as much as he has  & thanks too tk1337 for helping pull our butts outta the fire Looking forward to the "Return of the Drillbits" As I told jml25 in PM, anyone in Florida that is near and wants to drive over, feel free to, just contact me, as I'm going to be pretty busy and I'd like to keep things orderly with a queue and what not.  (& if you come over, Starbucks would be awesome! I'm not really a coffee person (more of a tea person), but I'm a sucker for peppermint mocha's from Starbucks around this time of year... and I'm definitely going to need the caffeine, haha) |

It supposedly was a $10 starbucks card  |

@barntech or tk1337 does this mean that you have found suitable parts for the repair and have some confidence that will it hold up? Anyhow keep up the good work.

This news is pretty awesome if you ask me. Thanks for helping out tk1337, its nice to see that the community are pulling together to help each other out. Especially since in other quarters of the BTC world there are lots of bickering and recriminations when things go wrong.
@Barntech- Are the boards that werent sent out being repaired by local peeps to you?
Thanks again guys for your tireless work in the face of difficulties.

In that case I'll check this gift card I've had lying around. It supposedly was a $10 starbucks card lol, awesome man It's a good thing I've spent my life in IT and use to weeks of no sleep more than often. I ripped of the scratchy part to check it but it still has the original $10 on it lol. I'm glad these cards don't expire. I've had this one since my HS graduation... So over 3 yrs now lol. Never once touched it because I lost it until August and I have yet to ever go near Starbucks since its 30 min away. |

Ok so it seems I'm a bit behind on the latest news. I read the e-mail update
Am I to understand that.. every single board has a hardware fault?
And because I don't wish to tinker with it myself (haven't even opened them), I should return to sender?
Any forms to fill out or emails to send?

Everyone who in the US wants a pre-paid label to send their boards to be fixed. It seems as tho there's a number that don't want labels... sigh this is a mess.
Ok guys if you want/need a prepaid label with UPS to send the boards back to be fixed, please send me an email @
mininghosting@ gmail.com
with your from address, and from the email you want me to respond with a label. All you will need to do is pack everything back up in the box, and slap the label on it and drop it off at UPS.
Send him an email and he'll get you the label to send it back to be fixed. |

There's something I can't understand: Tk1337 wrote on DBS forum : "The components got shipped today", So he has already ordered components from Mouser. Have I missed something? Why share some details with only some guys? Why the part number is stiill secret? Can you share ASAP part number with all of us?

Probably because at this stage it would be wise to test the modification and confirm it has resolved the problem prior to allowing everyone to go out and do it themselves. What would happen if people did the mod and that didn't fix the problem? It could very well make a bad problem a catastrophic problem. I for one would rather know that it's going to work, keen as I am to get hashing.

Anyway I ordered :
COILCRAFT XFL4020-102MEB, COILCRAFT XFL4020-222MEB and COILCRAFT XFL4020-332MEB.
So I will be ready to solder when project managers will confirm this mod work. This way, my cards would start to hash on friday!
At the actual bitcoin rate it is better to hash the sooner I can, even if I lost 5 buck per card (unused parts), because only one is needed.
