zig modded another Gridseed today to see if the clicking sound is a problem of the first one but the secondone show the same clickung sound. i checked the solder connections no bridge and the ground / R128 test shows the values it should i dont tested the c42 DDV because i dont know which it is any idea ore somone has the same problem / solution fr it ?


Edit: The clicking stopped and so the sending of shares did I killd the gridseed ? where should is search for a point to fix it the chip ar not getting warm at all so i assume they are not calculating

might it help to put it in the oven

I think I saw someone else have this same problem. They did Zig's pod clicker mod, then it started clicking. They re did the solder connections and the clicking sound stopped but the pod was DOA as in no share submittals, not working, nothing! So failing to do the mod 'correctly?' in the first place, may cause PERMANENT damage to your pod!
Just an observation of possibilities.
I'd stick with what is KNOWN to work. R52 mod with 49.9k resistor replacement. So what if it takes a little bit longer to do the mod or reverse the mod later (which will probably NEVER be needed!)
Best for everyone to just do the R52 mod and let your miner mine and and start making you more $/KH instead of sitting on the bench longer or becoming an expensive paper weight!
Remember, R52 mod works as proven by thousands of mods by now! No problems down the road AND, if the R52 mod isn't done right the first time, it won't destroy your pod!
God speed!
