hello

my antminer s11 fan was noisy so i took a new fan
the socket plug was not fitting so i changed it with the old plug but cutting the wires and attached them ( Secured) , then after i turned my miner on there was no indicator light at all and the new fan spinnned for a while ( like 2 minute or so to see if something is up ) and stopped other fan was still spinning , then i changed the fan to the old noisy one , this time the fan starts spinning (both of them).i checked all plugs and all connections.
no light on control board or hashboard, only few blinks on fault red light on the first time and after that no light at all. so i searched on google and came up with this on antminer website:
i have one more s11 but the control board of that one is diffrent, the faulty one has same control board as s9i ( which i have also) all is same but one cable ( in s9 there is one cable from psu to control baord , in s11 there is 2,one small and one big )

17.

Issue: PSU can’t work but fan is running. All the indicators are off.

Reason: The control board cannot get power as the power circuit in IO board is damaged.

Solution: Switch the BB Board and IO Board with good miner to troubleshoot the defective parts.

so if it is so if i get a new fan and new control board ,will it work
or is it possible that i may damaged the hash board when i turned it on first time and waited few minutes, but hashboard was cold and no visual sign ,( in this case im screwed because i dont have that much money right now and i dont want to cash out btc to get new miner,just reached my short term goal amount and mentally i just cant sell)

sorry for bad english
and im figuring out how to post a pic as im new here

thanks
