I suggest in a thread with 24 pages to use the search function.
The forum's own search is not great, but https://ninjastic.space/search would have helped with this question.

In short, as long as your hashrate in the pool's dashboard looks fine, everything's fine. It's overreported, basically - if it says 50% error rate, it doesn't mean the whole machine only has 50% of the expected hashpower, but it's just one of the cores in one of the 44 ASIC chips that has such a high error rate, which is within spec / normal error margins.
Something like that.
A few units display abnormally high error but this is mostly a display issue. If you hashrate is where it should be (which it is for your unit) you're fine.
As for the rest, you shall probably wait for a reply from Futurebit instead of disassembling both of your units right away; I'm not sure your warranty and everything will remain after such procedures.
I'd just reflash the microSD and if issues persist & there's nothing obvious / external (like badly plugged in power connectors), RMA.

Regarding the error rate, there have been multiple reports and multiple replies in this thread. I highly recommend ninjastic search, since you can enter the topic ID and a search term. You could even filter by author and only get posts by jstefanop.https://ninjastic.space/search?content=error&topic_id=5340015

does anyone know why one hashboard has a lot more errors than the rest?
This is higher than normal usually its around 23%
