Hi All

Just noticed an S9 OFF, AP3++ was dead, no 12v Out !!!

I noticed little fan had stopped...Its starts with a 'quick flick' ...but still no output..

I'm in the UK and wondering if it is worth the cost to send for replacement to BITMAIN ??

I'm sure i seen a section where you can input serial number to check warranty ??

OR is there an internal fuse on the output i could replace myself along with small fan ??

Thanks

never never never never never buy a psu from bitmain unless you live in china.

there are good psu's on uk eBay that would work.

mailing or shipping it to bitmain is foolish cost = close to that of the psu.
go here to read what to do

Wow, i have 12 of them, i searched Ebay and Amazon for a UK made PSU and could NOT find one !!!

Cheers Guys
In the link to the bitcointalk thread there are PSUs on eBay.co.uk that are fully in stock and are much more reliable than the APW3s from Bitmain. Alternatively you can also cobble together your own server psu, breakout board and wire setup which could save you a few bucks.

If you don’t want to click so much here’s one linked in that thread Phil talked about above:
