I see Bitmain have just uploaded another firmware update - anyone tried it? I'll let someone else be the guinea pig this time after wasting over 24 hours with the last one that didn't work, have they fixed it? Peace EDIT: @ Bitmain: Can we also have the S2 firmware you promised us over 2 months ago now?I will give it a test run. Brave man So far so good. I put this on one of my B1 that never runs at 440 GH/s. https://i.imgur.com/SpfTCeD.jpg

Load looks OK too - what's the cpu usage?

It is showing 90%. My other B1 on the August firmware with CK's binary is at 90% as well. I am just checking by looking at the processes log. edit: 90 not 900... Geez

Hello, good day. I bought 17 S3 miners some months ago. I'm a happy customer so far. One of my miners suddenly stopped working. I pressed the reset button, but nothing happened. Both red and green LEDs are blinking; I can access the miner's web interface and this is what it shows on the "Miner Status" page: http://s15.postimg.org/9gyvnmeon/screenshot.jpgI flashed all my miners with the latest firmware months ago, and all of them were working well so far until now. Can anyone give me some directions on how to fix this miner? Cheers, Try a hard reboot Try ribbons on controller Faulty controller? Shut it down and unplug supply and ethernet, let sit a few minutes, replace cables and fire up. If still doing this then try running nmap <ip-address> from a linux machine and see what ports are open on the device. I did the recommended stuff. Long story short, it seems to be the controller. Test bench:http://s30.postimg.org/dh0209oal/00_testing_parts.jpgTesting left controller connector and left blade: It works.http://s30.postimg.org/6rtik92yl/01_it_works.jpgTesting left controller connector and right blade: It works.http://s30.postimg.org/avpffmsl9/02_it_works.jpgTesting right controller connector and left blade: Fails.http://s30.postimg.org/75uujun25/03_does_not_work.jpgTesting right controller connector and right blade: Fails.http://s30.postimg.org/4flimnqd9/04_does_not_work.jpgTo discard the ribbon cables, I repeated the 1st test twice, once per cable. As expected, everything went OK. So, the next step wold be to file a RMA for the faulty controller, I think. What are the steps to do so?

Did you do it this way? First: Disconnect the cable connected to Chain#1 to test Chain#2 hash board. Second: Disconnect cables connected to Chain#1 and Chain#2, turn over the control board, and then connect the Chain#1 to Connector#2 of the control board, to test Chain#1 hash board. Note: Since there is no +12v in the Connector 1#, you have to turn over the control board to test Chain 1#

Thanks to point that out. Those are the small things that the eye sometimes skips. Gonna test it that way and post the results here.

Looks like there is a new firmware dated 10/24 posted, anyone know if it fixed the prior new firmware problems?

I see Bitmain have just uploaded another firmware update - anyone tried it? Description: better support for firefox and chrome. <\br> MD5: 7189A012A7A3CECB9DB05090B7D0D64F Why can't they even post a correct FW description?.. EDIT: @ Bitmain: Can we also have the S2 firmware you promised us over 2 months ago now?
Looks that we already can't...

Thanks to point that out. Those are the small things that the eye sometimes skips. Gonna test it that way and post the results here. I turned over the control board and connected the connector #1 to the chain #2. It didn't worked. I quite don't get why do I have to flip the controller over since I see the screws holding it to the case are only grounding the PCB. I checked the cables were connected correctly. http://s29.postimg.org/ned0fokwz/flipped_over.jpgQuick Recap: So far: - Both Connector #1 and chain #1 connected; Connector #2 and chain #2 connected: Machine boots, Status>MinerStatus>AntMiner is empty. Red and Green leds on.
- Only Connector #1 and chain #1 connected: Machine doesn't boot, fan attached to the chain #1 blows at 100%, the other one 0 RPM. Both red and green leds are off.
- Only Connector #1 and chain #2 connected: Machine doesn't boot, fan attached to the chain #2 blows at 100%, the other one 0 RPM. Both red and green leds are off.
- Only Connector #2 and chain #1 connected: Machine boots, Status>MinerStatus>AntMiner shows the info of the Chain 1. Asic status: "oooooooo oooooooo". Red led off. Only green led is on.
- Only Connector #2 and chain #2 connected: Machine boots, Status>MinerStatus>AntMiner shows the info of the Chain 2. Asic status: "oooooooo oooooooo". Red led off. Only green led is on.
- Only Connector #1 and chain #2 connected, PCB turned over.: Machine doesn't boot, fan attached to the chain #2 blows at 100%, the other one 0 RPM. Both red and green leds are off.
Thanks, EDIT: Fixing typos.

Is it worth the risk do you think? Are the temps/stale/reject rates any better/worse? Is it safe?

Hello. Bitmain, or maybe someone could help me. S3+ b10 is arrived, on of them doesn`t work normal. Red light is on and don`t turn off and there is no information in Miner Status
I connect other control board (from working S3), but result is the same. What can it be? Blades are not tested yet.
And what does Red light saying about?

i'm only 2.5 hours into the recent firmware and it is running much better than the last attempt. Discards are WAY down (i mine ppc if that matters) HW errors are down, one miner does have a funky control board issue related to the fans and temp sensor and it throws a low% of errors @ 237.5 and they're almost virtually gone now... but the sensor is still way off. in about 3 hours i'll post a before and after shots comparing 5 hours of new firmware vs the 17 hours or so before it. Hash speeds are virtually identical so far...

Hi there, the right side on my controller does not works, neither the right blade. I not bought from the factory, instead ebay and probably one of the first batches. Was working fine since July and this last sunday all of a sudden the right blade fail. Tested both using another S3 that is working, left side and left blade are good. Any chance Bitmain sell controllers and blades as a part? Or simply better to buy another?
