So please give me advise:-(

Same happened to me with two different A3s. Did you solve the problem?

Forum member Mr. Bliss help me out with firmware and I flashed it.
But Ohhh one hashboard is still dead 1st shows 3 ASIC alive but in few minute dead.
So My friend our BLADE came faulty.

All we have to do is now asking BITMAIN for treatment.

People with fine A3 congratulation for nice harvest .
Who are not let's do our best .
Peace out.

That looks a lot like a Power supply problem,

Try to unplug PCIE cables from boards 1/2 and chain 1/2 --> test board 3 (see if it works)

Then,
Try to unplug PCIE cables from boards 2/3 and chain 2/3 --> test board 1 (see if it works)
Then,
Try to unplug PCIE cables from boards 1/3 and chain 1/3 --> test board 2 (see if it works)


If they all three work then chances are it's a power supply issue.

Another thing, try to move the location to a different wall outlet and test it there that sometimes works for me.
