Hello, good day.
I bought 17 S3 miners some months ago. I'm a happy customer so far.
One of my miners suddenly stopped working. I pressed the reset button, but nothing happened. Both red and green LEDs are blinking; I can access the miner's web interface and this is what it shows on the "Miner Status" page:

Can anyone give me some directions on how to fix this miner?
Cheers,
Try a hard reboot
Try ribbons on controller
Faulty controller?
Shut it down and unplug supply and ethernet, let sit a few minutes, replace cables and fire up.
If still doing this then try running nmap from a linux machine and see what ports are open on the device.
I did the recommended stuff. Long story short, it seems to be the controller.

So, the next step wold be to file a RMA for the faulty controller, I think. What are the steps to do so?
