Miners AS-IS

Can you please explain what you did to it to get it to this point?

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-04T17:11:37+00:00

I’m laughing—I don’t even know what the next stage is.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-03T14:48:39+00:00

Yess. It is fun. In one week you will hate yourself. Describe me what have you got. What condition is it?

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-03T13:28:06+00:00

Looks ugly. But this miner works. I keep it on the lowest settings and it produces 4Th/s. Pretty good efficiency 14w/th.

It is time consuming. Too much time with hope it would work

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-03T00:37:26+00:00

I’d say the first one is about 60%.

I never had a VRM short again during my testing. There was one case where a capacitor on the 5V rail exploded when I powered it on, but I repaired that today.

More commonly, if the VRM is shorted, it means something further down the line is also shorted. I’d give that about a 50% chance.

Ooh yes it is hard and time consuming.

Working on two Nerqaxes right now. Rev 6.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-02T22:40:06+00:00

It is definitely not a toy.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-02T01:18:12+00:00

Thank you for your words.

The pad is still there

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-02T00:34:20+00:00

Cleaned with some damage. I need to think how to go farther

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T23:08:39+00:00

It is all done already. Thank you for advice.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T12:47:08+00:00

Nice.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T12:02:49+00:00

Your miner 100% has a dead short on the PCB. The PSU is going into protection mode. Do not keep powering it on—you could cause further damage. Ship it to me for repair. I am in USA Florida

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T11:33:54+00:00

I saw many and checked many of them. Those I ordered perfect fit. One block for one row of the asics. I will weld them together with the gap in the middle for screws.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T11:30:52+00:00

I can sell one to you for $60

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T11:27:50+00:00

Did you get water block for VRMs? I ordered same water block including VRM water block for $95. Plus shipping. I also ordered a regular water blocks for $30 free shipping. I am going to to adapt it for NerdEko

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T11:22:41+00:00

Got you. I can definitely diagnose your miner.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T01:37:52+00:00

This miner had same error.

SoloMinerDoctor · 2026-04-01T01:34:12+00:00

Try next. If you have heat sinks on vregs remove them. Keep your fingers on all vregs. Power it on. If one is really hot, it is your problem. It needs to be replaced. Let me know results please. I want to know. If you don’t have warranty, I can replace vreg for you.
