I also now have the "COLOD"  Cointerra Orange Light Of Death    if anyone has an idea on how this can be fixed please post!


backstory...
Got he miner march 5th.  Sometime in april the webgui showed only one cta.  Opened it up to find one of the power blocks came off the main board. soldered a piece of wire to the board and to the block cuz I could not get the block hot enough to melt solder under it.  Any ways, it worked. was always HOT.  Tried new thermal paste. Still hot.  Tried liquid pro got it cooler and one of the pumps stopped working so it would got to 120c and shut off.  Took the pump apart and pulled out a bunch of white butter/grease out of it and the white rubber"channel" inside the pump. Pump works again and now the whole board wont power... no leds at all and on the power supply it shows one green and one orange light.  Its the board closer to the psus.  after all the thermal paste and liquid pro usage and frustration of taking it a part a thousand times i think i killed it. Last try to bring it back to life will be to remove the board from the case completely and give it a nice scrub down with iso alcohol.
