I have to say, you were right.  ;DI've already solved this problem.

The problem was at PSU

I am happier to know you fixed your miner than knowing I was right  Grin, all credit goes to zeusbtc for taking the time to write the article, the owner of that company is very helpful and very friendly and never hesitates to help, so really I shouldn't take any credit for his work.

I reflashed the firmware on the new problem unit, and it has been running all 3 boards properly for 2 hours 28 minutes and counting.  Fingers crossed 🤞

Good to know you got yours fixed too, hope it stays this way.



So now as far as the temp sensor issue is concerned here are my recommendations to fix it.

1- Flash the recovery firmware using a Sdcard, and then flash the latest firmware.

2-If 1 fails, your next suspect is the PSU, check the screws, tighten them well, clean any dust and try.

3-If 2 fails, try a different PSU because there is a possibility the PSU is bad and cleaning it won't do any good.

4-if all the above fails, then it's safe to assume that one of the chips on the hashboard is bad, it's usually the first chip, refer to this image to identify the chip, sometimes the heatsink is a bit loose and by pressing it down ( applying some pressure using your fingers) could fix the problem, if not then you will need to remove it and glue it back.
