Coverage for used and refurbished ASICs
Hardware Protection Plan
Eliminate repair fees and extend the lifespan of your equipment. Enroll your existing fleet or buy used miners with our Hardware Protection Plan.
500,000+ ASICs processed for the world's leading mining companies
I already have miners
Bring your own units. ACS inspects and grades them, then enrolls what qualifies. Helm — the ACS monitoring platform — stays on, so coverage tracks the hardware's real condition instead of a claim you made at signup.
I need miners
Marketplace units graded for the plan before they list. Same monitoring requirement, same remedy path, no separate negotiation over what happens when a board dies.
“AS IS” used iron is a bet against your uptime
- A hash report shows output. It does not show chip-level condition.
- One dead hashboard can erase the margin that made a cheap miner look cheap.
- A broker swap is often another ungraded unit, not a covered remedy.
Protection only works if you can repair, replace, and monitor
Consolidation and board-level repair, in house
Combining parts into working miners takes a repair floor. Brokers, ITAD firms, and auction houses structurally do not run one, which is why their remedy stops at another unit off the shelf.
Grading and inspection before coverage binds
Every unit is inspected and graded before ACS enrolls it. We only stand behind hardware we have actually looked at.
Helm telemetry on every protected miner
Helm reports hashrate, temperature, fan speed, and error codes in real time, so a developing fault surfaces while it is still a maintenance item.
Capacity at scale
500,000+ ASICs processed since 2021 across inspection, repair, and refurbishment lines — the volume a protection plan has to absorb.
What’s covered
Hashboards and chips
Board defects and chip failures on enrolled units.
Power supplies
PSU failures under normal, in-spec operation.
Control boards
Controller and control-board faults.
Fans and cooling
Fan and cooling hardware failures.
If something fails
Graded swap
If ACS has a matching graded unit in stock, you get a swap.
ACS repair
If the unit can be restored on our own repair lines, we repair it.
Purchase credit
If a covered unit cannot be repaired, you get credit toward a future purchase.
Choose your term
Three terms, one remedy path. Pricing is quoted against the unit or the fleet, so there is no rate card to read past.

From qualify to claim
Choose
Buy protected inventory from ACS, or bring a fleet you already own.
Qualify
ACS inspects and grades the hardware, then confirms your firmware and site standards.
Enroll
Coverage is active once the unit is enrolled and Helm monitoring is live.
Claim
One path, in order: graded swap, ACS repair, then purchase credit.
Monitoring isn't optional — it's how protection stays real
Every tier requires Helm, the ACS operations platform. It reports hashrate, temperature, fan speed, and error codes on every protected miner, which does two things at once: it surfaces a thermal or health issue while it is still a maintenance item, and it gives both sides an honest record of how the hardware was actually run.

What isn't covered
These rules protect everyone on the plan — including you. Enrolled units share the same repair capacity and the same swap stock.
- Fire, liquid, or physical abuse
- Aftermarket or unauthorized firmware
- Dirty or poorly controlled site environments
- Overclocking, out-of-spec power, or immersion misuse
- Removed or altered serial numbers
Questions people ask first
How is this different from the ACS warranty on new ACS-branded hardware?
They are separate products. The 90-day limited warranty covers new hardware that ACS manufactures and brands, and it ships with that hardware. The Hardware Protection Plan is a plan you enroll in for used and refurbished ASICs, whether you buy them from ACS or already own them. Enrollment requires inspection, grading, and Helm monitoring.
Can I enroll miners I didn't buy from ACS?
Yes. Bring-your-own units qualify after an ACS inspection. We grade the hardware and confirm your firmware and site standards before coverage binds. Units that do not pass inspection are not enrolled.
Is Helm required? What happens if I turn it off?
Helm is required on every tier, and coverage is active while monitoring is live. Telemetry is how ACS sees a developing fault early, and how both sides confirm an enrolled unit ran inside spec. Protection without it is not something we can stand behind.
What does Expanded coverage mean on the 6- and 12-month tiers?
Expanded broadens what Core covers. The exact scope is still being finalized, so it is confirmed in writing at quote rather than published here. Ask your ACS contact for the current terms before you enroll.
How do claims work, and how long do swaps or repairs take?
You open a claim with ACS and we work the remedy in order: a graded swap when we have matching stock, an ACS repair when the unit can be restored, then a purchase credit when a covered unit cannot be repaired. Turnaround targets are set per agreement and are not published.
How is the plan priced?
By SKU and by fleet. Marketplace purchases attach protection at checkout; bring-your-own fleets are quoted against the fleet and its monitoring footprint. There is no published rate card — ask for a quote.
Does the plan cover dead-on-arrival units?
DOA handling is being finalized as a line separate from hashboard coverage. Confirm how it applies to your order in your quote before you rely on it.
Can protection apply to trade-in or upgrade deals?
Yes, where the units qualify. Trade-in and upgrade hardware goes through the same inspection and grading before we enroll it. Talk to sales about the specific deal.
Ready to buy used without the lemon risk?
Tell us what you own or what you're looking for. We'll inspect, grade, and tell you what we can stand behind.
