  Good thing I did the soldering part before drink #6.  Brought back many memories of modding PS2's back in the day.  Cry  ...good times.

  Software part was what messed me up.  I couldn't login with putty after so long b/c the miner shut down or wasn't available.  I panicked, thought I destroyed it = drunken, ranting post.  Plus my batch 1 S3's still haven't shipped.   Angry

Can someone post a link or give info as to what the fields in LuCI mean?

  From what I gather reading this thread, "HW" is errors.  How are you guys calculating error %?   I'd like to tweak it a bit for the best result...I soldered pot's in and adjusted each bank to 0.847V - 0.853V.  Each Asic bank seems to have a balanced voltage output to maybe 4 Asics each(8 in the bank).   I took readings from the capacitors(referred to as "yellow thingy" in this thread) and the capacitor below it.(they are polarized and I read from the side with the bar on it, it should be the + side of the Cap).  Also, is there a way to restore the factory firmware?  I may have drunkenly f00ked it with putty.

  This machine is messed up from the start.  It had HW problems before the mod compared to the 2 newer S1's I have.  Also, my load hasn't changed much.  The board is stamped with build date 2013/12/16.

Currently seeing:
11h2m uptime
139.xx GH/s avg.
14,562 HW.
Load 2.30 2.15 2.14.
All asics showing good(0's, not x's).

Kill-o-watt readings:
Amperage: 1.46A
Wattage: 170W

  It's a lot better than the 3.3A @ stock 180 GH/s!!!

  On a sidenote, I'd like to offer my sincere apologies for the Steve Jobs comment.  I realize that some idolize him and think that he was great for technology(electronics).  As a degreed tech guy, I see him as just a great marketer and the reason we have micro-transactions aka nickel and diming for everything nowadays.  There is one thing we can all agree on...  Steve Wozniak is a genius!!  :cheers
