Hello

I have a bunch of S17+ hashboards piled up for repair and I've been keeping busy with figuring out as much as I can. Sadly for technicians that like to do everything themselves like me, there is not much detailed info out there on this issue. Most info I found were in Russian or some other foreign language I couldn't understand.

So to repair my hashboards I'm left with a few questions I hope you guys can help me out.
I'm an electrician myself and I have quite some tools in my workshop so that's not really an issue.

1) Until now I used the black bitmain glue to stick the heatsinks back on, but I found that the chips with the glue got hotter. Now I would like to try using soldering
    tin to fix the heatsinks back on the chips. Can anyone tell me exactly what tin I need to buy?

2) How do you guys figure out which chip exactly is malfunctioning? I got a voltmeter, I got the Zeus test fixture (but in an earlier topic a few people told me that test fixture is practically useless as it keeps turning off the hashboard). Is it possible to measure the malfunctioning chip by resistance? If so, does someone know what resistance in Ohm every leg needs to be approximately? Or is the only way to measure by voltage and powering on the hashboard?

3) I also see a lot of Temperature sensor errors. But sadly can't find a lot of info about how to measure it. How can I measure the temperature sensors?

4) I often use my Supersonic bath to clean the hashboards, as I find a lot of times the chip legs rusted and connected to eachother, this way helps a lot to get them nice and clean, but the heatsinks usually fall off when I do that. Does anyone know if they sell a heatsink template for hashboards so we could glue/solder the heatsinks much faster on the hashboard? Been looking all over google, but can't find anything. I'm thinking of buying an aluminum 3d printer just to make that now...


Thank you guys for responding!
