Hello can anyone shed some light on this problem I’m having. I have an s9 I. 2 hashboards work and the third shows 58 asic chips but does not hash. Here is a screen shot of what I’m seeing.
58 asic means you have a signal break somewhere most likely between chip 58 and 59.
You need to send it in for repair or buy another hashboard and replace the bad one.
Ok thanks. How about this. I have 3 other hash boards and whenever I try to change the bad one out, It doesn’t work at all I just get some Chinese writing where the chains should be displayed. I know I found the bad one because if I unplug that one it works fine with only 2 hashboards. This is a picture of what I see when I try to change out the bad board with any of the other 3 I have. When I change out that board I can’t get it to hash at all.
This is because when you mix hashboards from different machines, the internal data of the hashboards may be different. You can use a device with Antminer EEPROM data editor to synchronize all hashboard internal data, such as Antminer code editor or hash board tester.

Heres a question I’ve always wondered. Can you build your own asic? lets say, for example, I buy 3 L3++ boards, and a l3 body, psu, and fans. Could I build my own miner?? and, If you can, could you make a, lets say, one s19 board, an l7 board an like an e9 board?

No you can not mix boards of different series.
You could build a miner using 3 of the same hashboards, the correct control board, and the correct power supply.

Most of the circuit board designs of different series hashboards are different, and boards of the same series may also store different data. Therefore, when hash boards are mixed, it may cause the entire machine to fail to operate normally. Therefore, before repairing the hash board, you need to back up the data in the hashboard.
S19, L7, and E9 machine algorithms are completely different. You can’t build them together. If you want to build your own ASIC, you can seek advice from experts around you.

Yeah, I figured as much. Mining ETC BTC and LTC at the same time would be too good to be true haha. What if you could get very small control boards, and not link the hash-boards together? always wondering… a multi coin asic would be pretty cool, but alot of work, and dev work.
A multi coin asic would be exactly the kind of thing Vosk would bring to market. I’d buy one just to have it.
