[WesleyHA]

Hello guys,

I recently bought a batch of T17, but with almost all of them i got the same unexplainable error,

I've swapped hashboards, controlboards, flashed stock firmware and vnish. with an SD and in the interface. but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know more about this topic?

Thanks for your time,

Wesley

For the people still reading this, switching to vnish and using asicboost nicehash pools solved the problem for me.

When your antminer T17 is reading 'soc connect failed , kill all hashboard. It is usually because one or more of your heat sink is lose but has not fallen off yet. So you need to detach the lose heat sink and use super glue to fix it properly. If my suggestion helps you and you want to donate bitcoins to me, please send it to this address:

So you need to detach the lost heat sink and use super glue to fix it properly.

There is no super glue that you can use to reattached the ASIC heatsink I'm sure it will burn and lose right away after ASIC chips get hot.

You need a proper glue or adhesive that can withstand high temperature like arctic silver.

NO , this message " 2021-11-01 13:05:33 driver-btm-api.c:205:set_miner_status: ERROR_SOC_INIT " group all problem, temp sensor, bad chip, bad pool, pool dead...

I see : " 2021-11-01 13:05:33 driver-btm-api.c:1897:bitmain_board_init: ERROR: None of the chains exist " ... SO ! need check ALL the ribon cable ! or maybe psu .

Hi,
you need Code Editor to read t17 hashboard from one of them and write to others to match them together, this error mean your hashboards from different device or repaired and hash boards didn't match together.
