Re: Can't find Antminer S3 IP address - won't reset

It will scan the main local ip, if the antminer is connected and running it will show up.

If the lan was deleted trying to reset is tje only hope, make sure you are really pushing thr button, open uo tje antminer s3 and check it out from there.

It only found anything connected that matched the router IP.  For example if the router is set to 192.168.0.1 it won't find the miner if it is set to 192.168.1.99.  I had to change the router to 192.168.1.1 to find a miner with IP 192.168.99.  So if the miner is set to 192.138.300.99 I would have to change the router settings 300 times before finally finding it.  The reset button doesn't do anything on all 3 of my S3.  It's like they put a fake button on all of the S3.

I went one by one through 192.168.0-192.168.6 on the router and it's not showing up on any of those.  For all I know the LAN interface could be completely deleted.  Why is there no way to do a factory reset?

It's not showing up on fing.  Do I need to change my router IP?  It's set to 192.168.0.1 right now so this will only show 192.128.0 devices correct?

Re: [6$ Bounty]AntMiner S3 Lan Interface Deleted

Welcome to the club.  The reset method post above does not work.  I have 3 S3 miners and tried resetting them at least 25 times and there is no way to do it that I know of.  Even bitmain states that if you forget the IP address you can never access the miner again.  As far as I can tell the reset button doesn't do anything at all.c

From Bitmain: *** If you decide to change the AntMiner's IP address, Please Write It Down &
DO NOT FORGET
it.
If you forget the IP address, you will not be able to access AntMiner again. ***

Now I set my IP address to 192.168.0.50 on one of my miners and I can't connect to it anymore.  I've tried resetting it and it won't reset.  I changed my IP address on my 3rd S3 and now I cannot connect to it either.  I tried reset multiple times and it won't work.  WTF?Huh I now have 3 dead S3 that won't reset.  2 of them were working fine and all I did was change the IP.  Seriously what is the actual reset method to get it back to 192.168.1.99??? Nothing is working.

Not cool, I remember messing up the s3 settings and having to reset device.

Have you tried clicking on reset button without ethernet cable connected?
Try turning it off and then holding down reset button while turning it on waiting and then pressing it again..

Doesn't IP show up in the router settings page?

I can't find the IP anywhere.  I'll try different ways of holding the button and see if I can get any where with it.  I have 2 other S3 working fine.

I never touched it. Is the miner second hand

Yes it is used.  I know the reset pin doesn't line up but I know I've been pushing it, pushing it real good.

I tried that but it didn't work.  What should preferred DNS server be or does it not matter?

I have the same problem with mi S3; I can’t find the IP and the thing don´t restart.  Huh

It looks like there is no solution.  I should have checked earlier so I could have returned it.  Now I'm stuck with a faulty S3.

I have tried using IP scanner to find the IP address and nothing is showing up for 192.168.0, 192.168.1, or 192.168.2.  I have tried resetting it multiple times in the hopes of resetting it to 192.168.1.99 but no luck.  Any suggestions?

What do the lights do?  Does it seem to still be hashing?

And on reset if you do it the IP should be 192.168.1.99 .   It takes around 10 seconds of holding in the little button after it takes a few minutes to do the restart.

The green and red lights are both on.  It's not hashing because I don't have it setup on my new router.  If I hold down the reset button nothing happens.  If I power it off and back on while holding reset then the red light flashes until I turn it off. 

I would give it 3-5 mins to reset.  What IP range is your router using?

I've already given it an hour to reset and I've let it sit after turning it off.  The router is set to 192.168.0 but I've tried connecting it to a laptop set to 192.168.0 thru 192.168.2.  The IP scanner can find my other S3 just not this one.

Can someone help me setup my S3 to mine through my laptop's wifi?  I can't leave my miner connected to the router because it's too loud.  Is there a way that I can use my laptop's wifi in a different room?

So basically it steals your shares and pays you a fraction of what you would normally get because you had to shut down?  Who gets the reward from those shares?  Kind of messed up but good to know.
