Just shipped off an S17+ 73 to NH today (Fri).
My first dealing with the new authorized Bitmain service location.
Www.Greatvoyage.comEmail communication so far has been good.
They should receive it Wed.
I'll update with results
Was just notified today that upon initial testing, they found two boards with more than 5 bad chips on them. Thus, they cannot repair the miner and will be shipping it back to me.
That's sad to hear, after almost 20 days since they received the miner, and they can't fix it! why can't they fix 5 chips, I don't think that's a good enough reason, if they can fix one they can fix 5 or 6 or even 10 no? based on what I know, identifying the bad chips takes more time and effort than actually replacing them, so if they really got to that point, why stop?
Is it because they don't have both BM1397AG and BM1397AD?
