S17+ Various number of ASICS found - ERROR_SOC_INIT

[bitcoinlover39]

Hello,

This is my first time on this forum, I hope I post on the good topic, thank you for your understanding

My miner is an S17+ containing only one hashboard (to eliminate debugging problems). Context : I decided to clean my miner from dust --> openned it and remove Hashboard, clean it, reassemble it and here is the issue "ERROR_SOC_INIT". I checked connections 10 times : Hashboard is plugged into the control board, ... Everything should be connected.
I followed the "Reboot / Firmware update / Verification Configuration Pool / Internet connection check" procedure. I've reached a stage where I don't know what to test.
I'll let you have a look at the code below: Socket Init error announced, but you can see that the number of ASICs detected varies according to the tests. Does anyone have any idea how to interpret the evolution of the number of chips found?

Thank you !

Looks like you have a few issues.

Multiple entries like check_asic_number_with_power_on showing inconsistent ASIC counts (from 1 to 24 to 0).

The voltage readings and adjustments appear to be fluctuating.

The log ends with ERROR_SOC_INIT and stop mining: soc init failed!, indicating a system-on-chip initialization failure.

Check your PSU is not on dying this can be a issue with voltage.  Ensure all power and data cables are securely connected. Loose connections can lead to intermittent ASIC detection.

Verify that the power supply is stable and providing consistent voltage. Fluctuations in power can lead to initialization failures.

Have you over/under clocked the device?  

Are you using the Bitmain firmware?

You could try re-install the firmware see if this works.

If this fails you may have a faulty board and may need repair.

[philipma1957]

You broke it.  you could try a different white cable from controller to the single board in it.


If you have the other two boards you could try them.


Must likely cleaning the board broke it.

The heatsinks are glued on. The glue gets brittle the cleaning you did likely did a fracture in the chip to heat sink attachment.

You could get lucky if you put it in an oven at 225f-225f  tall heatsinks up for ten minutes.


I had 29 s17's I moved them and cleaned them and 11 were no longer good.

I saved a few heating up in an oven.

If it was working before how did you exactly clean up the hashboard? If it is just a compressed air it shouldn't turn like this there might be something that you forgot to check after reassembling the unit.

Would you mind to try the busbar maybe it is not connected properly which is why it is not supplying enough power to the hashboard also try to clean all terminals on the control board use lacquer flo thinner or isopropyl alcohol to clean all terminals and connectors.
And don't forget to clean the busbar use sandpaper to remove the rust or to make sure it is clean sometimes dirt and rust are the reasons why the hashboard can't run well.

Hello,

Thank you a lot for your answers, it permits me to update this S17+ because I have no idea :O

To answer to some question :

• I've never changed firmware I used Antminer FW --> No overclocking
• The cleaning was only compressed air
• Now, I don't have the two other hashboard

What i've done since you wrote me :

• Busbar is well connected, I used my voltmeter, I have the same voltage as written in log (21V).
• I checked connections and I think it is ok : 4 same sockets from PSU / 1 socket from PSU / 1 socket from PSU / Ethernet cable / 1 socket used to hashboard --> 8 cables in total.
• I replace the signal cable between hashboard and control board --> norhing happened.

Only thing I did not do : heating in my oven ! I keep it for next step.

Some dumb questions : How is it possible to count different number of ASIC ? If an ASIC on hashboard was broken, it would count the same number of ASIC every time ? I was convinced that this error (socket init failed) was linked to control board, not hashboard...
Intelligent question : do you see anything weird on the picture ?! I think it is probably a wiring issue...

Thank you a lot if you have any advice more ! I'm investigating only during end of the week !!

Ps : can I upload photos in message ?!

I don't think that's a bright idea without confirming if it's a software or hardware issue.

Usually, soc init fails are software issue related it can be fixed mostly by flashing the unit firmware since you said it didn't work by upgrading it with the latest version try other software way before you heat them into the oven because if you do that the result might be worst until you can't able to repair the hashboard.

Have you tried to flash the unit or boot the unit with Braiins OS to test? If not try it first.

If it didn't work, check the test points to confirm if it's a hardware issue.
You can find the test points below, including instructions on how to repair it.

@OP Merit given for one of the most concise newbie posts in a long time.
Clear, to the point, und ya even know how to use the code # tag  

That link for zeusebtc that BitMaxz gave should give you all the info you need. If you are thinking of reflowing the chips - be very careful. The oldest s17's used a black epoxy thermal glue to attach the heat sinks. It softens around 150C well before the solder melts. Later ones use a low-temp aluminum solder to attach them.

Upload the image and post the link, one of us will [image] it for you and it would be visible to everyone without having to visit the link.

As for what I think happened to your hashboard, the air was way too strong, it moved some of the chips and now they have bad contact with the PCB, the Antminer S17 series has a very common issue which is the cheap/low-quality solder used to attach chips, the chip count test is done by sending power across all the chips and see where it stops it, in the process and given that the chips are pretty loose, the signal may comeback at times but not at others, it's very common, if you cool it in the fridge or heat it a little you will get different results, heck even shaking the miner really hard would result in different results, this miner is the worst electronic piece the world has ever made.

Before heating it, i would go the opposite direction which is slightly safer, and that would be freezing it, I did that and had some luck, just rap it in a plastic bag, make sure it's airtight, and freeze it for 24-48 hours see if you get lucky.


Obviously, this assumes you did the basic checking and tried another ribbon cable and used a different port in the control board.

The heatsinks are glued on. The glue gets brittle the cleaning you did likely did a fracture in the chip to heat sink attachment.

I do think he broke it, but here is a small correction, it's a chip issue not the heatsink, you can literally remove the heatsink on one or some of the chips and the count will go through perfectly, you will even see the miner hash for a few seconds at full speed and then an over-temp error will appear in the kernel log and the miner will stop hashing.
