One board on S9 (two month old) does not work anymore. It is still under warranty, but is it even worth it sending it to hong kong?
What is the cost to do that from US, approximately? Instructions are peculiar and I have no ability to photograph anything as the miner is in hosting. What did you guys use, UPS or FEDEX?
I would use UPS.

You 'can' open a ticket on bitmainwarranty.com. Just say "no warranty". Their techs may be able to fix. They are pretty good.
Had them fix one of my s9 boards, $175.

Thanks. Still deciding, but leaning toward bitmainwarranty.
In US, I can send priority mail.

Does  your fixed board work OK now?

Yep, cost $13 ups to send there from east coast, they charge $25 ups for return.
I fully expect to have a dead board at some point for my museum. Can't hurt to try out Denver.
Comes tomorrow, they SAID their tech fixed it. I'll let you know tomorrow when I kick it in the unit that is only running two boards at the moment.


There really isn't a reason to skip sending boards to Denver, what we've seen, has always come back , and for under the estimate to ultimate card owner.
