I just received another S1 today and this one was used big time. Lots of Chinese dust all over the PCB boards and fan blades. Should I contact them and have them replace it?
Also might be a sign of things running out and new model coming out.
You are lucky that your S1 works.
I received heavily used and semi-dead S1 from them.
All covered in dust, heavy smell of burnt electronics, a lot of dead chips - one blade shows 8 ASICs instead of 32.
It hashes only at around 120 GH/s and sometimes just stops hashing with beeping sound, needs power cycle to start again.
I paid 130 euros customs tax for this unit, and it would cost around 200 euros to ship it back to Bitmain and then I have to pay another 130 euros to customs for the replacement unit.
Just does not worth it.
So Bitmain sold me a dead unit and now just stopped responding to my messages.
you don't pay nothing to send it back, they will pay, and they will ship you a new one, if what you told is true, u make a photo and a screenshot.
else i don't belive you at all.
they have 10000 of customers, and no one point that(one blade shows 8 ASICs instead of 32), you are the first one.
or, you didn't buy from
https://www.bitmaintech.com , and you got scamed.

Bitmain told me that I have to ship it back by myself.
I've sent them a photo / screenshot.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

I'm not the first one, if you read Antiminer topics at this forum you will find people with similar problem - dead chips.
I bought 5 units directly from them. 3 were new and good, one was used but good and another one used and defective.
