Toasty… 😔

got off easy anytime i see something like this that doesnt take out more nearby

What will you do with it?

That’s a good question. It will probably just become a parts stock. The outer 2 boards can theoretically still be used entirely, the middle board can be gouged for tons of board-level components. Which, I find joy in playing Operation on boards.

Yeah - I guess it depends on what has the most value for you.

Can you take out the middle board and run it with just the 2 good boards?

Could the ASIC chips on the middle board be replaced/soldered in or is it likely that there's something else wrong with the board?

If the boards don’t have a PIC (which they’re starting to not have them at all anymore) it’s all or nothing and the whole ASIC shuts down and won’t hash unless it can find 3 good boards.

As for repairing this one, the MOSFET exploded so essentially that board just turned into scraps for other components.
