Interesting.... Thank you! guess I'll have to buy one ..


Never buy 1.......always buy at least 10

haha, you see, I have special hardware that identifies broken chip in the chain. I need to check if it works with S9(i) version.
It communicates via serial interface through the 18-port wire that runs from controller board, but I am not sure if different voltage will make my device unusable... hope it won't...

I have that too, pretty damn expensive

1. How much did you pay for it? (if you don't mind Wink )
2. Have you checked it on S9(i)? I just bought one to be delivered in June, have to check if it works or not...
I really would not like to buy miners that I cannot fully test/repair myself... I think you have similar thoughts.

So say you've identified a faulty chip. Can you locate it physically, and then do you just replace that chip with any other chip from a replacement board or they are all individually assigned for each slot?
