Antminer S4 problem

[spaldix]

Hello, during the past few days my Antminer S4 stopped working and I don't quite know the reason.

When I turn the miner on, all the fans work at full speed and the LED lights (both the red and green) are turned on until the IP address, hash/s and Temperature are displayed on the screen, then the fans go to the minimum speed and none of the LED lights works (neither the green nor the red), and the miner stays in that state (0 h/s) until I manually turn it off.

I assume the PSU isn't the problem because it has the green light when the miner is on.

When the problem started, I first checked the status of the S4 from my computer, most of the boards had a couple of "x" on the miner status page. Then I flashed a new firmware into the miner and suddenly the "x" turned into "o" which should mean the boards are working properly, but still the miner had a hashing rate of 0. I checked the boards while the miner was on and all of them have their red lights turned on, which should mean that they are working properly. I've tried to turn it off for a day disconnected from the power source and still nothing.

The only thing that seems to have worked was to remove the SD card, wait 5 min, and then put it back in and restart the miner. Then it worked for about 2 hours and suddenly the hashrate dropped again to 0.

If possible, post the kernel log here so that we can get a better idea of what is going on. The more information that you can provide, the better responses you will get here. Without some good information, we're just guessing

There is a button for 'code' that you can use to wrap that all in a text box and not spam the forum itself with mile long posts. This will help you post the full log without making a post thats 2 miles long.
