Many thanks to everyone who helped
This unit is successfully hashing for 12 hours following firmware upgrade.
Two issues remain
1)
Overnight the "old" issue reappeared , the fans go on FULL PELT , full power
this is the issue that caused me to mess up the firmware in first place:-)
hashes fine continues working but fans seem to go full power mode ! and does
not stop until unit disconnected from power and restarted
i cant imagine this is a fan issue , can it be ? is this not a software/control board issue ?
2)
one of the hash boards has been gubbed for months , is their a Uk repairer ?or
sales place for S9i hash boards ?
are the boards in S9 and s9i the same ?
