Flagship Program

Practical ASIC Hardware & Maintenance Masterclass

A 2-day hands-on intensive covering ASIC hardware architecture, teardown, hashboard diagnostics, thermal interface replacement, and power supply load balancing in an active lab.

Who This Program Is Designed For

Independent mining operators, electrical apprentices, farm technicians, and serious home operators wishing to maintain their own hardware without costly international RMA delays.

What You Learn & Hands-on Deliverables

  • Full hands-on teardown and reassembly of Bitmain Antminer (S19/S21 series) and MicroBT Whatsminer units
  • Thermal paste and phase-change thermal pad replacement protocols for high-ambient Australian conditions
  • Power distribution calibration, C19/C20 heavy-gauge cabling standards, and breaker sizing under AS/NZS 3000
  • Control board flashing, kernel log interpretation, and bad chip isolation using diagnostic test fixtures
  • Fan ducting, acoustic box construction fundamentals, and positive-pressure filtration systems
  • Comprehensive 180-page hardcopy field manual and lifetime access to our Victorian alumni technical registry

Program Boundaries & Exclusions

  • Speculative financial advice or token trading guidance (our focus is purely mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering)
  • Uncertified high-voltage electrical panel modifications (we teach compliance and safe coordination with licensed A-Grade electricians)

Prerequisites & Preparation

Basic understanding of workshop hand tools and standard multimeter operation. No prior electrical license required.
