Hi all,
First post here. Got an issue. I setup my bitcoin miner, switched it on and watched speeds on the web panel. The speed on module 5 started slowly dropping before it would completely switch off. I restarted the unit and it would respond the same way.
I decide to delve into the box. This is what I found.
Two blown caps, 4 blown R158 chips and damage tracks.
Being somewhat new to mining what boards can I use in this machine? Where can I buy replacement boards? Would you deem it safe to keep using this board? The damage is done, I just don't want to be wasting energy passing through the board for no reason. The board still does 150ghash on one module and zero on the second module.
I am in Australia, so if there are any folk here in Sydney who may have a spare board, shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can pick it up.
My unit looks like the CoinCraft Desk unit on Bitmine.ch except their image is in reverse and you cannot see fans infront of the unit on their site where as mine has 4 fans(2 front 2 rear).
