- In this video, we'll be trying to fix a mini Doge cryptocurrency miner that has burned out. The power cord is dead, and the manufacturer won't fix it because the warranty has expired. However, we're determined to revive our little mini Doge and get it back to mining.
First, we'll need to open the device and remove the fans, which are connected to the board. We'll then adjust the board and carefully solder out the six-pin connectors, as they are the part that has burned out. We'll replace them with new connectors that we've purchased from Amazon.
Once the connectors are replaced and everything is reassembled, it's time for the moment of truth. We'll turn on the device and hope that it doesn't blow up the system. If everything goes well, the miner should start working again.
After some initial hiccups, we're able to get the miner running again and it's now set up to the pool. Thank you for watching, and we hope this video has been helpful for anyone trying to fix a mini Doge miner.
Awesome. My mini just stopped a few weeks ago and I see now it’s a burnt out power connector. Hope to follow your video and get it fixed!
Thank you for this video. I have the same problem and was going to resolder a new 6 pin connector. Im going to save the hassle and try your trick out. Thanks again!
Good video thanks
Nice job
what is the part number or name of the replacement 6 pin connector? Thanks
Bro. I had the same issue. You need to lower the power consumption in the settings of the miner. The settings by default are on high but they don’t tell you that in time, you will burn the miner out by default and maybe start a fire.
I honestly believe that the bottleneck was the Goldshell power source that came with the miner. After inspecting the miner, the connector on the power source was completely destroyed and the connector on the miner was intact, except for the plastic portion that melted. My assumption is that the pins from the Goldshell power source (PSU) is not spec to withstand the power consumed by the miner at the higher power consumption setting. I’m currently running my mini doge miner with an EVGA gold plus power supply and so far I don’t have any issues.
@@JeanCast yes. I’m doing the same as well but within about 6 months it will melt again. I started with the same power supply and eventually, it also did damage to the supply as well.
@@princeben7544 interesting. Thanks for your feedback I’ll consider making those changes to prevent another failure on the PSU.
What type of power connectors did you order?
How did you remove the original white 6pin plastic cap without the pins?
