That is unfortunate, I don't know of any trusted suppliers there, but should you need one I think you should contact one of these guys (in no particular order)

There might be others, but those are off the top of my hand for a list of EU based miners that can be trusted.

Sadly, as of 2020 I cannot seem to find any reliable resellers here in Europe for parts. I had to order anything I need from Bitmain when they had it in stock and from some resellers I found on random websites and in random telegram chats.
Shipping anything was more expensive than the parts I was ordering. It was NOT worth it. Any broken hardware that I have right now will be RMA-ed as that is the best cost-effective move I can do right now.
Others might know more or have better luck, but this is my experience.

For example, I have Innosilicon T2TZ with burnt PSU and fully operational hashboards (tested on other unit). Ordering new PSU would cost 110 USD and shipping for it would be 130 USD. While I bought the whole unit (used at that time) for 500 euro.

[2020/11/27 23:38:58] INFO: eFUSE protection is active

This line is very strange, I did text Marc (Asic.to) on telegram, let's see what he knows, it seems like a power-related issue, are you sure the PSU you using is APW9+ and the input voltage is 200-240v?

Also, it shows this

Pool connection FAILED. Check INTERNET, POOL URL or WORKER

Are you sure your pool settings are in place? is Asicboost is activated make sure the pool is AB compatible if this log comes from the bad control board and all this info can be misleading.

eFuse line seems to be normal thing during auto-tune and sometimes during reboot of miner. I've noticed on a lot of different WORKING units which were running Vnish firmware.

As for pool connection failed, I'd advise to try different network as yours might be blocking some ports like devfee pool ones and that would make the unit stop mining (I've experienced this first hand with my home network on thierry4wd's firmware, even though the unit works fine on the network which I use for miners only).

If that is not the case, then mikey's advice to check pool settings and asicboost should be the things to look at.
