Yes i know, i mined the coins with S1's to buy the S2 on 16-03 for the second batch.
The S1's where great but this Huh

I hope it's something i can solder back, that won't be any problem for me.
Even if it's a bga or something like that.

On the controller board are 5 led's, only one of them is green.
it's the led with R41D5 marking next to it.
Any thoughts?

look up support for the beaglebone black since that is the control module. its possible you need to swap in a new controller and/or sd card (probably <$50)

The real question is: why should anyone have to swap out anything for an expensive piece of equipment that was obviously poorly tested, and used a shitty microSD card in the first place.

Also stop hiring monkies to throw your packafges onto your planes....do they think there are pilows inside an 18kg box? what a stupid system, at least work out the delivery part so all the units dont come to people in pieces.

Fragile, or this side up, doesnt mean shit to these carriers, even if they could read them or understaing which way an up arrow is suppposed to go. Put it in chinese then, but I dont think it will make a difference. seems like whoever he is using to ship these units is the cheapest carrier he could find as seen in one of theose animated gifs i saw a while back where the monkey is tossing these large heavy boxes carelessly on to the conveyor belt with half of them falling off.

Good work Bitmain, way to kill your entire business operations in one clean sweep.

Maybe you shoulod lower the price again next week and try and get some more suckers to give you money.

why so negative? I understand lots of machines arrived damaged - and i can understand why, particularly if they were shipped on thier sides rather than rightside-up or even upside-down. Hopefully bitmain sees this and is working on it. ever new generation of equipment will have its issues. The first few S1 batches had various issues and non-ideal traits such as the lack of pci-e connectors.

UPS is a reasonable shipping company, not much better or worse than purolator/dhl/fedex/etc. They deliver quickly and at fairly low cost - The S2 just needs an extra layer of protection to keep the boards in place if shipped on its side (such as a cross-bar made of metal instead of foam).

My unit arrived just fine, and is right now hashing at 1100GH
