A part on one of my S3's broke...

Well, didn't really break but let's say it does not do its intended job anymore.

I know, I tried its opposite side's wire and it's definitely the wire.

I know why, my own stupidity, don't ask but it happened  

It's the one of the two, 2 x 10 pin ribbon wires that connects the hashboards to the control board.

The ones that are over/under, as in:

xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx

I don't have a spare and I cannot for the life of me find a website that sells this... I just don't know the fancy name, if there is ever one.

No sense putting a picture, I'm sure a "few" miners know what I'm talking about.

Anyone know where to get one in North-America, hassle free or does this need to be special ordered from Bitmain?

They're not very co-operative, all I want is an invoice, I'll pay it then they can ship it, after 3 back and forth emails, still no payment request.

When they reply they talk to me like I'm a computer n00b; been a client of theirs for over a year now and still buying hardware.

Can someone help me find the wire I need?  I'm sure I'm not the only guy who's had one of those wires go bad...

There's also people who know their shit a lot more than me =D

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Looks like the name of the part is SPI Ribbon Wire.

That said, I would, however, still want Bitmain OEM parts on my Bitmain AntMiners... :/

has anyone been able to lower the watts at the wall???

Have you got a killawatt and have you measured monitored? I'd hazard to say thats your answer; but bitmain (or someone else) may have other empirical evidence knowledge.

Dumb question, but I can't seem to find in the menus of the S3 (with Oct. 2014 firmware) where to change the IP address of the AntMiner from the default .99.  Any help?  I've gone through all the setting and have forgotten where I changed them before, was it moved in a later firmware or have I just missed it?
Thanks,

So trying to figure out where to change the IP address (Network settings that doesn't show when you select DHCP), seems now the S3 isn't responding.  Funny how the firmware update for Nov. caused the hashing to drop to less than 50Gh/s so I reverted back to the Oct. firmware (yes, the one where the reset button doesn't work).  So no reset button.   Anyone have any suggestions on what to do, I tried pinging the default address as well as the one the router gave it when I selected DHCP, but no response from either.

No, there isn't a IP address showing up for the S3 using an IP scanner (192.168.1.99 or the one the router gave it previously aren't showing and there isn't any other ones new that have showed up).  The S3 has both lights on the NIC on the S3 on and one's flashing next to the red light on the S3.

Here's some info. I learned this morning regarding the new November firmware.  There's a temporary fix for the new firmware to prevent the low hashing.  Set the AntMiner S3 to the default speed and put in 0725 in the voltage (from default 0770).  I was still having a problem on one of my S3+ with the fix set, that had Pool Balance setting set to Balanced from Fail (default) that was still doing the slow hashing, but when I selected Fail and rebooted it's been hashing at full speed so far.  Finger's crossed.
