On my t17 42 TH, it'll run just fine for 1 year,

If mine ran for a year I would be happy enough to throw it away, this is a good record and above average life-span.


Code:
driver-btm-api.c:1042:check_asic_number_with_power_on: Chain[1]: find 6 asic, times 2

the heatsink on chip no.7 has probably lost contact, the solder paste must have gone bad, this is pretty normal with all of these gears, at least 30% of hash boards die this way.

What should I do now? no warranty at the time.

Fixing this problem is expensive, there is nothing really you can do, just remove that hash board and mine with the 2 good hash boards, there are a few things that you can try, most of them are mentioned in this topic and this topic.


Try them out, if nothing works, go ahead and remove that board since it actually slows down the boot time and might make your miner reboot every once in a while, which is something you don't want.
