Just finished working on NerdOctaxe 13.8Th Hydro.
It had 5V LDO dead short. Because of that one trace was lifted and melted. I replaced LDO and restored the trace. It is under PCB UV mask now.
If someone is interested in this machine DM.
I also installed heatsinks on the back of PCB VRM area. So it runs cooler.
Mean Well PSU is included.
Free shipping.

New toy discovered inside the NerdOctaxe! 🌈🩺
I received a NerdOctaxe today for repair and noticed something I had never seen on my table before — RGB connections! 😳
The patient came in with a little extra equipment installed. 😂
Unfortunately, I can’t test the RGB functionality right now because I already shipped one of my own NerdOctaxe miners with the Hydro setup, and that one has the RGB connections too.
So, no diagnosis today — just a medical bulletin:
RGB exists in the NerdOctaxe! 🌈😂
Consider this an official discovery from the NerdOctaxe. The patient is stable, but apparently wants to party. 🩺⚡

🩺 Another NerdQaxe Walked Into the Clinic
Received a NerdQaxe 6rev Solosatoshi today.
The top VRM was lightly melted, and I was a little concerned about removing it without causing more damage to the PCB. It took some time before the patient finally gave up and came loose.
Patience. And only patience. 😄
I cleaned the entire area and replaced a couple of nearby capacitors. The heat around that VRM was extreme, so I didn’t want to leave potentially damaged caps behind.
After everything cooled down, I powered up the patient and ran some tests.
And then… surprise diagnosis. 🩺
The second VRM was overheated too.
This is actually the first time I’ve seen two VRMs fail at the same time on one board. Apparently, one VRM decided not to suffer alone. 😂
I recently had a NerdOctaxe with a similar mystery. After replacing one VRM, I found another one running about 10°C hotter than the others. I replaced that one as well, and the miner became healthier than it had ever been.
Sometimes the patient tells you exactly what’s wrong.
You just have to listen to the temperature. 🌡️🩺

Just finished a NerdOctaxe 12 TH/s.
🔧 PCB only — ready for sale.
If you’d like, I can also order the heatsinks and install them for you.
Original price: $250
Sale price: Corrected today to $170 — free shipping
Message me if you’re interested.

Does anyone have this circled part of a Hydro miner in broken/non-working condition?
I’d like to open it up and see what’s inside, and check whether it’s possible to reuse the heat-transfer tank with a new external pump.
If anyone has one they’re willing to give away, I’d really appreciate it. I can cover the shipping cost.
Thank you!

🩺 FINALLY, GUYS… IT HAPPENED.
My clinic has officially decided to invest in a brand-new MRI machine. 😎
After successfully passing all the required exams, completing my practice hours, and getting my certification, I am now officially ready to perform some deep medical diagnostics on your miners.
No more guessing.
No more “it looks fine to me.”
No more judging a miner by its temperature and hoping for the best. 😂
Now it’s time to see the real truth hiding inside those little patients.
With this machine, I can investigate miners that have complicated or unexplained symptoms and find problems that may not be visible during normal testing.
And yes… I can sometimes tell you how serious the condition is and how long your miner may survive if it has an underlying problem that nobody has discovered yet. 🩻
But that's not all.
I can also perform a PSU medical examination and determine whether your power supply is healthy enough to continue treatment… or whether it has reached the point where the only appropriate prescription is:
“Place in trash can immediately.” 🗑😂
I already tested several miners from different suppliers.
And let's just say…
We have a clear winner.
Who is it?
I'm not telling. 😏
I don't advertise here.
From today forward, whenever I see a miner with unstable, unusual, or unexplained behavior, I may put it under the MRI machine before making a diagnosis.
Because sometimes the patient looks perfectly healthy on the outside…
…and the real disease is hiding deep inside. 🩺⚡️
Solo Miner Clinic — where your miner gets a second opinion.

Received a miner today with cracked ASIC.
It is up and running well now.
Air cooled not a hydro.
When I set it to 12Th all fans are running at 100%.
So it is quite noisy.
If someone is interested it is $300

Hi everyone!
I finally received all the parts needed to begin my journey into repairing larger ASIC miners.
It took a while and a bunch of money.
Yesterday I realized that the tester I bought from ZeusBTC requires test files, and unfortunately I don’t have them.
If anyone has the test files and is willing to share them, I’d really appreciate it. My first patient is an S19k Pro.
I noticed ZeusBTC sells the files for $40, so I thought I’d ask the community before purchasing them.
👉 If you can help, please comment below or send me a DM.
I’d be extremely grateful for any support or guidance from the community—thank you all in advance for your help!

Thank you for your trust!
The NerdOctaxe from eBay is alive again.
A while ago, I shared a listing for a NerdOctaxe that was being sold as-is on eBay for $250 or Best Offer. The seller accepted an offer, though I don’t know the final price.
After the repair, my customer now has a fully working 12 TH/s miner for under $300. Not a bad outcome for a machine that many would have written off.

Received PCB Nerdqaxe ++ 6Th
Black color 6Rev.
$100 free shipping. Only PCB is for sale.
If you want I can order parts and have it complete set for you.
I replaced one VRM on it.
Goes to 6Th easily.
You need to install a copper heatsink or hydro.
And have a good PSU to run it at 6Th.

So, I finally figured out why nobody was seeing my comments in Bitaxe Crypto Mining Worldwide.
Every single comment I make is automatically declined.
I tested it multiple times. Same result. Declined. Again. And again.
This is exactly why I don’t waste my time trying to build someone else’s community. Rules that change without explanation and invisible moderation aren’t worth my energy.
If someone needs help, or you see a post from someone looking for answers, send them to SoloMinerClinic. My community is open to everyone. No hidden filters. No silent censorship. Just people helping people solve mining problems.
I’d rather invest my time building a community where knowledge is shared freely than trying to contribute where my voice is blocked.

Due to many requests, I decided to create the SoloMinerClinic Facebook Group. Everyone is welcome to join and be part of the community!

I understand that some people prefer Facebook, while others prefer Reddit — and that’s perfectly fine. The goal is to make SoloMinerClinic accessible to everyone, no matter which platform you prefer.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

I have last left 6Th/s PCB.
It is $150 on Aliexpress.
It has one VRM replaced.
I sell it for $100 plus shipping.

Limited time offer. $65 VRM REPLACEMENT ANY MINER
Payment must be in BTC.
My usual charge for VRM replacement is $80 NerdQaxe and $100 NerdOctaxe

For everyone who wants to reinforce the back of their miner and prevent PCB deformation, I have reinforcing back plates in stock and ready to ship.
A simple upgrade that helps keep the PCB flat and reduces board flex over time.
$6 each. I will ship it via non machinable envelope.

This time it was a Bitaxe GT800, complaining of severe cognitive impairment.

Diagnosis

After a quick examination, the diagnosis was obvious: the right hemisphere had stopped functioning. One ASIC was completely dead, so the poor miner was trying to solve Bitcoin with only half a brain.

All story is on my web site Bitaxe GT800

The wait is over. The NerdOctaxes have finally
landed! 🎉

Perfect if you enjoy fixing miners, learning new swear words, or just want a great deal.
Only 8 available. First come, first served. Once they’re gone, you’ll have to wait until the miner gods smile on us again.
If you want me to repair it for you, it is $80.
