Hi. I have a KNC Titan controller that has a bad ASIC Port 2 where the first data ribbon to a cube plugs. It was working fine for over a year but today I noticed hash had dropped and that the connected cube wasn't mining.
Culprit was a moth attracted to the LCD display I found on the bottom board by Port 2.
Inspected board but don't see anything amiss.
Swapped data cables between two connected cubes and issue stays with Port 2. It did not follow the cube.
Thoughts. Can this be repaired.
yank out the LCD and use this port instead is the quick fix ..if I understand the above correctly?
That worked great. I should've thought to try that. Now to remove the other LCDs so nothing is attracting insects.
you may want to go back and see my prev posts on re-pasting etc my stuff was plenty dirty.....heh ...I also put a piece of glass under (from picture frame) the
titan controller board...seems to help keep it cool imho.....rather then have it sit on metal/or wood workbench
my setup here
lostgonzo.imgur.comor at least part of it.....have equiv of 4 titans now ..1 hosted...other parted out in other part of basement etc
I performed a re-pasting and cleaning a few months back along with the mods for better fan and heat sinks on the DC/DC converters.
I used CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner from the AutoParts store to clean the boards when I had them removed from the case. Worked great to remove the greasy mess from the rubber stuff KNC has in there. Then blew them dry with some low pressure air.
