Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH

So I have to re-try getting a board RMA'd to bitmain. I bought a brand new PSU to try to power that board up hoping I was using a bad psu and there was still no go. For those of you who have fully opened their S7, what is the easiest method to getting the top off so I can remove the problematic board? I assume the top comes off because you can't simply slide the board out of the casing.

Remove the rectangular plate behind the fan, boards will slide out. But I would contact Bitmain before opening the miner.

Just remove the plate behind the fan and they do slide out? What about the piece sticking above the top of the miner where the pci-e cables are connected? That's not part of the hash board?

Yup, just removing the plate behind the fan will do. That plate is holding the boards in place.

Cool, I'll try removing it tonight. Bitmain already agreed to 'test' the board at their facility in china. Sucks I have to send it there, but the 3 TH hash I get from a $1600 miner really blows.
