I have 10 Antminer S3. One of them was under performing and had a few x's under ASIC status so I GUI rebooted it. Now, it doesn't hash at all and the Antminer section on Miner Status just says "This section contains no values yet".

I have rebooted a few times but it won't has at all. Any idea what is going on?

Did you firmware it for the speed selection?  After you load that firmware you MUST go to the advanced tab and select a clock speed or it won't hash right.

No I have not updated to a new firmware. They still have the ones they shipped with. Is the new firmware worth it?

Also, power cycling it by pulling the power cord on PSU fixed the issue.

Well if you put the latest firmware on you can change clock speeds without having to ssh into the miner and type out the commands manually.  They added a tab on the configuration page with a drop down that you can select various clock speeds and just hit apply/save and the miner reboots set to that clock speed.
I found it helpful for testing different speeds.
