It can get annoying and pretty expensive keeping the s9's in tip top shape! I'm glad that I got a couple control boards now so that I won't have to wait if another one goes out.

Are S9's prone to failing? what tends to go wrong? what causes it? I guess heat wont help with the life. I have ordered a new S9 and reading this post has got me wondering, when is it likely to go wrong? will it last a year? or is it more like 6 months?

... s9's ...

Now that they have a repair center in the U.S I'm sure that things might be faster but I don't know.
...

BitmainWarranty repairs in the US is not covered by Bitmain's warranty.

If the S9 is within warranty, you have to send it back to Bitmain in China to (possibly) get free repairs.

If you send it to BitmainWarranty, you have to pay no matter what, unless you bought it from BitmainWarranty.

Oh, I see. I didn't know that, although in my case I think it might still be cheaper to send to U.S since it is closer to me, that way I would save on timing but then again it all depends how much they would charge for the repair.

And guys can someone please tell me if it is possible to load pictures from ipad into this forum? When I click the picture icon it doesn't seem to do anything beside adding a couple of IMG words to the text. Thanks!
