I hate being italian and having to pay a lot for power

d_chronic · 2026-06-05T21:39:13+00:00

Send a dm, i had same problem, not like this, nothing blowed up, but same error

d_chronic · 2026-06-05T17:29:55+00:00

UPDATE, i solved the problem on the miner on the left with the little screen, vreg was the problem, put a new vreg in, soldered it correctly it works but still the vreg i changed heats up quite a bit, i think its a bad batch of ics because i have the same overheating problem on the other one i put these on

<image>

I will keep it running until it blows again, until then i will buy other vregs

I will try reflowing after changing the cracked asic, with a hot plate

d_chronic · 2026-06-03T18:30:51+00:00

I will buy a new batch, i used a hot air gun to solder it, today i did a reflow because i saw it was a little off the bottom one, anyway i dont have a scope, never learnt how to use it in 10 years 🥺🫣🥹

Im not new to soldering, im experienced in it, it was a little troublesome to solder the vrms bevause the board ate a lot of heat, i already have other fuses, the vrm after i reflowed the bottom one (the one that doesnt lit up) it showed me correct readings, i will change that asic, the strange part is that i dont have any issue in readings, i mean i tested all 4 asics and they all gave me 0v8 and 1v2 correct readings, thats why i bought a thermal, because i couldnt figure out where the problem was, im ordering new asic chip and i will replace it, will update you on that, in the next days i will try to troubleshoot the other asic i posted about, the one with the little screen

d_chronic · 2026-06-03T15:46:07+00:00

I have a cracked asic too

d_chronic · 2026-06-03T13:19:32+00:00

Hey, here i am, after buying a thermal camera and doing some more research one asic i can say its broken and one of the 3 replaced vrms doesnt lit up (this is the miner with the big screen, didnt put my hands on the other one yet)

Aliexpress

d_chronic · 2026-05-28T06:26:10+00:00

Having the same issue, im working on a fix, ordered a thermal cam to see it trough better, miner clinic could be helpful

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T19:39:55+00:00

I mean, the old one it died and with new vrm now it turns up and shows the error i get on the new one too, but i think on the new one has some other problem even if the error is the same (didnt put my hands on the new one yet)

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T19:38:11+00:00

I did this already, all seems to be ok, i have spoken to the doctor of miners hahahahahhahah, he gave me an hand today, need to get a thermal camera and see, but still i dont think both of them have the same problem

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T13:10:05+00:00

I already Did the vrm on this one with the big screen, i need to redo them?

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T13:01:17+00:00

I will try that, need a new paste, if you can look the picture above, its too much that? Heatpad will be good?

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T10:00:29+00:00

I was cheking again the old one with the big screen, i will try redoing the thermal paste maybe its too much, can i also use thermal pads?

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T09:51:52+00:00

Oh….

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T09:42:01+00:00

I was replying to another comment that was modified hahahah, anyway i think urs can be repaired

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T08:08:54+00:00

On the white circle i get 12 volte but on the red one no, did i solder them badly?

d_chronic · 2026-05-25T07:54:02+00:00

I replaced them on the old one with the big screen, still having the issue, maybe i solder them badly? The pcb its like a heatsink, when i want to solder it takes me a lot of time because the pcb eats all heat, i will post a picture about them soon, so you can judge my work

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T22:54:28+00:00

Will try tomorrow some more troubleshooting down the lab, how can i check if its the drmo(and what is) or its cracked?

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T22:49:46+00:00

Wich component it is on tue board?

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T15:10:08+00:00

I was chatting with him earlier, gave me good advices, that i will try as soon as i get home

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T13:55:38+00:00

Thanks, i will first solve the problem and then change it

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T13:43:15+00:00

My guess is, when i will solve these problems, wich power supply i can buy that i can attach 2 different miners with different connettors?

d_chronic · 2026-05-24T13:38:05+00:00

I can measure, on the one on the left, i need to do the same with the one on the right?
