I believe I'm doing what you are doing to inspect the rigs from now on with future batches.  Especially, after reading the WARNING here in the photo you provided.

Thanks for sharing...

Interesting for sure.  I like that they gave customer permission to open it and check.   That is much better then the don't touch policy.

Maybe they are changing for the better on warranty... or maybe to many were falling off.  Makes me wonder on number for them to send that letter with it.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy dont touch to my ass  Grin  Grin  Grin

i removed cleaned polished inspected and resoldered...
Note: i am serious, dont try this @ home
also i am thinking what is 1385+BIN2 label on v2.0 boards.  Huh 1385Gh binary v2  Huh if chips have any eeprom we fucked up folks. this means hash count is true. if 1385 not hash number or freq, meaning bm1385, so why labeled 1385 ? all S7's have not bm1385 ??  


could you please advise on how to safely remove all the heatsinks from antminer S7. Did you use heat gun?
What did you use to clean the chips?


first rule     : You cannot remove white alu heatsinks with black bonding adhesive from like B2 4,66th machine.
second rule : You cannot remove otherside of pcb brown chromium plated heatsinks, these are soldered.
                    (i replated these with Boron Nitride because they have different voltages and high conductive,
                      when white heatsinks dropped on these BOOOM SHORT CIRCUIT !)

third rule    : Do NOT USE BRUTE FORCE

now, 3 main rules for happy faces Smiley
-inspect pcb and be sure its a white glue between heatsink and chip
-set your "smd heat gun" (not heatgun) to 220 C
-cover thin flat watchmaker screw driver with kapton tape (for nice force)
-put screwdriver between heatsink and pcb and dont push
-put smdhg to top of the heatsink and wait 15sec.
-slowly push and check heatsink and make a little angle difference
finally some ones easyly drops...
-find a metal bath, fill with cellulosic thinner
-immerse pcb in it and use brush for remove white al2o3 particles
-you can use plastic thing to remove hardest epoxy on center of chip. (center is very hard to remove)
finally you can use F800 sandpaper for polish heatsinks
i said again, if you dont have electronic skills DONT DO THAT. because maybe you can broke chip solderings...
