This paid service covers units where no repair follows — declined estimates, machines that test healthy on arrival, or a pre-purchase check ordered on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ASIC miner inspection takes the same bench time whether a repair follows it or not. The unit is unpacked, opened, powered on a current-limited bench supply, run through a full diagnostic pass, then cleaned up, reassembled and repacked for return shipping. When a repair is approved, that time folds into the repair job. When it isn't — because the estimate was declined, or because the machine turns out to be perfectly healthy — the inspection stands as its own billed service. This page is that service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat a Paid Miner Inspection Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBench Test Checklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled power-up on a bench PSU with inrush and rail-voltage monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHashboard chain scan — ASIC count per chain read from the kernel log (e.g. spotting \u003ccode\u003echain X has 0 asic\u003c\/code\u003e or a short count against spec)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKernel log review for errors such as \u003ccode\u003efailed to read hashboard\u003c\/code\u003e, voltage init faults, temperature sensor dropouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan, temperature sensor and PSU output check under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual board-level check for burnt components, corrosion, cracked joints and previous rework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirmware state and network bring-up confirmation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInspection Scope\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:16px 0 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:32%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:68%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-bottom:2px solid rgb(238,238,238);\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWhat you send\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWhat the inspection covers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgb(238,238,238);\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eComplete miner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eFull power-up, chain scan on every hashboard, log review, PSU and cooling check, reassembly and repack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgb(238,238,238);\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eSingle hashboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eDedicated tester diagnostics (STASIC \/ ASIC REPAIR) — ASIC count, communication and voltage domain readout, plus visual board-level check\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgb(238,238,238);\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eControl board only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eBoot check, console log capture, network bring-up, SD\/firmware state\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgb(238,238,238);\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eDeliverable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;\"\u003eWritten findings: what was tested, what the logs and tester showed, and a clear verdict — repair estimate, healthy unit, or not economically repairable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen This Service Applies\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou declined the repair estimate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiagnostics happened before the estimate could exist — the fault had to be found and scoped first.

The usual culprits were never inside the machine at all: a site power problem, a network config issue, an overheating room. The unit still had to be unpacked, opened, tested, reassembled and repacked, so the bench time is billed as an inspection, and the report you get shows exactly what was tested and why the hardware is cleared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou ordered an inspection on purpose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standalone inspection is also something you can simply buy: a health check on a used miner before you commit to it, a second opinion on someone else's repair quote, or documented proof of condition before selling. This is the deeper of the two service tiers on this page — every hashboard, the PSU, the control board and cooling all get tested individually, because a purchase decision deserves a complete picture rather than a fault-hunt that stops at the first confirmed problem. Same written report, ordered up front instead of after a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur Professional Inspection Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Happens After Intake\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntake photos → visual inspection → bench power-up and full diagnostic pass → written findings sent to you → your decision (approve repair, or return as-is) → cleaning, reassembly, anti-static packing and return shipment. Turnaround is 4–5 business days, the same as our repair services: inspection units move through the same intake and bench queue as everything else in the lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiagnostics and Validation Equipment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHashboards are checked on dedicated STASIC and ASIC REPAIR test stands that read ASIC count, chip communication and voltage domains directly — the same equipment used to validate finished repairs. Complete miners are additionally verified in a live power-and-network bench setup, so the verdict reflects real operating behavior, not just a visual once-over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll repairs are performed personally by Alex, 7 years of ASIC repair experience. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/antminer-repair.com\/pages\/aleksandr-muranov\"\u003eSee credentials →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContact our repair team today and get your miner back to full power. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/antminer-repair.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antminer Repair","offers":[{"title":"Declined repair \/ working unit re-check","offer_id":54467526394129,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pre-purchase full inspection","offer_id":54467526426897,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/4917\/9921\/files\/asic-miner-inspection-bench-test-service.webp?v=1787858258","url":"https:\/\/antminer-repair.com\/products\/asic-miner-inspection-service","provider":"Antminer Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
