DIY - How to troubleshoot a S17+ with 0 ASICs detected
Переглядів 11 тис.2 роки тому
Here's a quick description of the steps to take to troubleshoot a S17 with 0 ASICs: Visual inspection. Anything look out of the ordinary? If not, assume bad chip, let's find it! 1- Find out where the ASIC chain is broken: Inject 1.8v into the RI of a chip to test the chain from chip #1 up to that chip. If testing the last chip in a domain (chips 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc) use the 1.8v from the nex...

    Mine had a hole burned into the board when we had a series of power surges. Detected the board but kept on skipping it. Took it apart and then saw what happened. Just filled it up with solder and it was working again for about a week. Same thing. Did it again, now been running for about 2 ish months.

    The tester reads total logic chips present and responding to voltage. You still have to identify the chip that is giving an issue. 64 doesnt mean 64. It means 64/total. Rtfm!!

    Hi. I would measure the RI/O from chip 65 all the way down to see if the 1.7 V or 1.8 v is there until the last chip (1). And measure the clk (0.8 or 0.9 V) the opposite way as clk moves from chip 1 to the last chip. Based on that you can remove the heatsink and it is likely you find a ball of solder shorting the pads of that chip with the faulty RI or CLk voltage. If there was not anything visible that is making the chain signal(s) be broken I would reflow that chip and cool it and redo the signal test before replacing it. If that did not work I would measure the test points in diode mode just to triple check and if the values were not as they must be then I would replace the chip. I have done it and it has helped me save boards and reduce headches :). Sometimes I remove the heatsink I find that some boards are missing resistors or capacitors (the ones surronding the faulty chip), of course I compare it to a good board from which I removed all heatsinks.

  • @martinmalik9776
    @martinmalik9776 2 роки тому

    Hi, you make great videos. Could you please advise me. When checking and measuring hashboard S17+, chip 5 gives me 0.8 v, but chip 6 already receives 1.8 v measured CLK per chip, I can't figure out the error, how is this possible. Can you please advise me where the error could be? I replaced chip 6 with a brand new one, but I still have the same problem and I don't know what to do. That's why I'm asking for help. Thank you, if you answer me and give me advice, I will be very happy and very grateful.

    Hi Sir, you bring us a great video, thank you very much, but one question for you, at 13 minute 50 seconds of your video, you begin to measure the 1.8V and 0.8V, I noted you put one prob on the heatsink(chip side), Does the heatsink equal to domain GND? I have measured my S17+ hash board, the heatsink(chip top) is not domain GND and neither 1.8V or 0.8? What voltage is on the heatsink(chip top)? thank you very much.

    I will learn this and start working on repairing this machine. because there are many engine models that I will study and repair, maybe S19, T19, and T17 too. - does every hasboard have such a black dot path? - does the high temperature still have to replace the chip? - is it enough to stick the chip with the flux? or the new chip already has a tin ball installed? - what temperature blower did you use to remove and install the heatsink and chip? - how long do you cool a board that has already been heated? - you counted heatsink 1 from bottom left, does that count apply to other board models? - if one of the ICs burns, will the path be damaged or not? otherwise I just need to replace the burned IC that's all right? sorry if I ask a lot of questions, because I never learned this kind of repair at first, even using a multitester I don't understand.

  • @worldentropy

    I'm not sure that your description of how the 1.8V and 0.8V voltage domains is correct. According to schematics and a number of boards I've seen (taking the S17+ as an example), the 1.8V core domain voltage (and thus the 0.8V domain) is regulated down by the domain LDO straight from the 21V main supply voltage for all but the last three domains. The last three domains derive their 1.8V supply from the 24V boost regulator output. What you stated here is that the LDOs derive their input voltage from two domains prior to where they are, and I'm yet to see a board with that configuration - in fact, if you do have collateral showing this for models you've worked on, then It'd be really good to share that. As an aside, the domain voltages and power distribution of these boards are amongst the worst I've ever seen in high performance computing and FPGA designs in general, in over 25 years being a researcher and an engineer.

    • @asicrepaircanada159
      @asicrepaircanada159 2 роки тому

      Thanks for the input. I'm not sure how your proposed layout would work. 1. On a S17+, you can easily see that the input pin of the 1.8v LDO of domain 1 is directly connected to the ground of domain 5 which is effectively the same as the positive side of the core voltage of domain 4 (3 domains higher, hence the need for a boost voltage for the last 3 domains). There is an internal trace, just check continuity and you will find it without a doubt. 2. We know that all domains use the same values for the components used to set the regulated voltage. If all LDOs were supplied by the board voltage, the output of each domain would be different relative to each domain ground since the ground of each domain varies relative to board ground. 3. The schematics call the LDO input VDD_IN where the board voltage is VDD_21V0.

    • @worldentropy
      @worldentropy 2 роки тому

      ​@@asicrepaircanada159 Thanks for responding; I just love these discussions :) Re: 1, without the benefit of X-Ray inspection of the internal layers, standard practice would dictate internal ground and power plains, as well as who-knows-what other layers inside; these will also double as thermal dissipation aids. I bet if we de-populated a board, we'd be able to identify both through and buried vias that achieve the routing. Not that I have any confidence in any schematics the Chinese produce, much less Bitmain, but I'm going by a) what the (silly excuse for) service manuals show and b) by measurements taken from repair jobs. Re: 2, not sure I get what you mean here. All LDOs, save the last three, are fed by the 21V pre-boost. Using the same component values only makes sense, since you want the same voltage across the domains - 1.8 and 0.8. I've not done full testing on grounds, but suspect that grounds for the 1.8v and 0.8v domains are one and the same, hence you're able to derive the 0.8v straight out of it's 1.8v older brother. Re: 3, you're neglecting the MP2019, and therein lies another ridiculous design quirk.

    Hi i really like your videos they are so much better then the bitmain training class . i am having issues with many of my t17 boards i use the generic bitmain test jig and my main problem right now is that i get different readings on the same board exemple i get 18 asic found then 24 then 3 back to 18 some board do many more # of asic found i even sometimes get all asic found then back to a lower number ... very discouraging stuff. i was wondering if you ever had that type of issues ? is my test jig defective or are many of my boards just messed up the same way. thank you for your time
