it seems that you got a bad heat sensor on your hashing PCB. Just send me your order info, including the address, phone number, etc. i will make records and arrange RMA for u.

I am working this out the Bitmaintech support. They have been pretty helpful. I went to the store and brought an infrared thermometer and opened up a machine at their request. I tried disabling if temperature is above 80 C but it is NOT HASHING at all. I've tested this with 2 different working PSUs and still nothing. I think thermometer and board is defective.

It looks like the thermometer is defective. Here is what I get in my dashboard as well:

My ambivalent temperature is 22 C. Here is the actual temperature (F, which is about 42 C):
