Sent this to dogie regarding an S5 that is acting a fool. Seems machine has gone back to Bitmain once and was returned with a new/fixed contrrol board.
(may as well go all out, happy to edit as necessary)
Machine arrived good to go, but a little bit dusty. Could tell it had been wiped down. The nice bubble wrap bag was folded over on top of the machine which was in the proper foam casing. Wire to the fan was almost disconnected. But clean overall, and fired right up.
Then, the hashing dropped off some, no issues with heat, tried different pools, issue progressed negatively. Eventually had to Power / Reboot / Flash, seems to work fine but is very picky about changing pools. Not stable enough to go pool hopping!
Odd item, after flashing the latest firmware that is installed on the machines sitting next to it, my special guy shows 4 chains rather than 2. Odd!
Screen Capture. Hoping this leads to a new control board and instructions.... and a little something for the effort and to help out our impoverished BTCGuild mining
