Vancouver & BC ASIC Repair Service — Professional Miner Repair from D-Central

British Columbia is one of Canada’s most active Bitcoin mining regions, and for good reason. BC Hydro delivers clean, affordable hydroelectric power that makes mining profitable even during bear markets. From Vancouver’s tech-forward mining community to operations running in the Interior and the North, BC miners know the value of cheap, renewable energy. But when your ASIC miner goes down — a dead hashboard, a fried control board, overheating shutdowns — you need a repair shop that actually understands this hardware. That is D-Central Technologies.

D-Central operates out of Laval, Quebec and has been repairing ASIC miners since 2016. We are Canada’s most experienced ASIC repair facility with 2,500+ units repaired and a 95%+ success rate. We serve British Columbia miners through our proven mail-in repair service: ship your miner to us, we diagnose and repair it at the component level, and ship it back — all backed by a 3-month warranty.

Shipping Your Miner from British Columbia

Vancouver to Laval is approximately 4,800 km — the full width of Canada. While that sounds like a long way, domestic Canadian shipping is reliable, tracked, and fast. Here is what to expect:

• Canada Post Expedited Parcel: 4-6 business days from Vancouver/Lower Mainland
• Purolator Express: 3-4 business days
• UPS Ground: 4-5 business days
• UPS Express/Purolator Priority: 2 business days (for urgent repairs)

From other BC locations — Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops, Prince George, Nanaimo, Chilliwack — shipping times are similar since major carriers route through Vancouver hubs.

How to Ship Your Miner

1. Contact us first — Call 1-855-753-9997 or email [email protected] with your miner model and symptoms. We will confirm the repair is worth pursuing and provide our shipping address.
2. Remove the PSU — In the vast majority of cases, the power supply unit is not the issue. Removing it cuts 3-5 kg off your package and saves $15-$30 on cross-country shipping.
3. Pack securely — Use the original box and foam if available. If not, use a sturdy corrugated box with at least 5 cm of foam or bubble wrap on all sides. ASIC miners are heavy (10-15 kg without PSU) and need proper protection for a cross-country trip.
4. Include documentation — A note with your name, email, phone number, and a description of the symptoms helps us start diagnostics faster.
5. Insure your shipment — Your miner is valuable equipment. Add shipping insurance for peace of mind.
6. Share your tracking number — Email it to us so we can watch for your package and prioritize it upon arrival.

Turnaround Time for BC Miners

Total ship-to-return turnaround for British Columbia miners:

• Simple repairs: 10-14 business days total (4-6 days shipping each way + 1-3 days repair)
• Standard hashboard repair: 14-20 business days total (4-6 days shipping each way + 5-7 days repair)
• Complex board-level repair: 18-28 business days total (4-6 days shipping each way + 7-14 days repair)

Need it faster? Purolator Priority or UPS Express cuts transit to 2 business days each way, potentially shaving a week off total turnaround. Contact us to discuss expedited options.

3-Month Warranty on All Repairs

Every repair D-Central performs includes a 3-month warranty covering the specific work done and all replacement components installed. If the same fault recurs within the warranty period, ship it back and we repair it at no additional cost. Our warranty applies equally to all customers regardless of location — BC miners receive the same coverage as a local drop-off in Laval.

Why BC Miners Choose D-Central

No viable local alternative. Professional ASIC repair shops with true board-level capability are extremely rare in Western Canada. Most “repair” options are either generic electronics shops that have never worked on a Whatsminer, or overseas depots that take weeks and charge a fortune for international shipping. D-Central offers genuine expertise with the convenience of domestic Canadian shipping.

Keeps your miner in Canada. Shipping to D-Central in Laval means your equipment never leaves the country. No customs declarations, no import/export paperwork, no international tracking limbo. Domestic shipping is straightforward, fast, and insured.

8+ years, 2,500+ repairs. D-Central has been repairing ASIC miners since 2016. We have seen every failure mode across every major manufacturer. Our technicians work on miners full-time — this is all we do.

Component-level repair saves money. We repair individual chips and components rather than forcing you to buy entire replacement hashboards. This approach typically saves 40-60% compared to board-level swaps.

We understand BC mining. We know that BC Hydro rates make mining viable, we know the challenges of running miners in humid coastal environments versus dry Interior conditions, and we know that every day of downtime costs real money when you are paying for dedicated electrical circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth shipping my miner across Canada for repair?

In most cases, yes. Shipping a miner from Vancouver to Laval costs approximately $40-$70 CAD each way (without PSU). Compare that to the cost of a replacement hashboard ($200-$800+) or a new miner ($1,000-$5,000+). Component-level repair at D-Central typically costs $65-$300 for the repair itself. Even with round-trip shipping, you are almost always better off repairing than replacing.

How do I pack my miner for cross-country shipping?

Use the original packaging if available. If not, use a sturdy double-walled corrugated box with at least 5 cm of foam padding or bubble wrap on all sides. Miners are heavy (10-15 kg without PSU) and can shift during transit. Wrap the unit in an anti-static bag if you have one. Remove the PSU to reduce weight and cost. Tape the box securely and label it as fragile electronic equipment.

Can I send just a hashboard instead of the whole miner?

Yes. If you have already identified the faulty hashboard, you can ship just that board. This is lighter, cheaper to ship, and still gets the full diagnostic and repair treatment. Pack it in an anti-static bag with foam padding. We also accept individual control boards and fan assemblies for repair.

What is the best carrier for shipping from BC to Quebec?

Canada Post Expedited Parcel is the most cost-effective for standard repairs (4-6 business days, ~$40-$60). Purolator Ground is comparable in price with slightly faster delivery. For urgent repairs, Purolator Priority or UPS Express delivers in 2 business days but costs significantly more. We recommend Canada Post or Purolator Ground for most situations.

My miner ran in a humid coastal environment — can you repair moisture damage?

Yes. We assess and repair moisture and corrosion damage regularly. Coastal BC environments can cause oxidation on connectors, corrosion on PCB traces, and degradation of thermal compounds. We clean corroded connections, repair damaged traces, replace affected components, and apply protective coatings where appropriate. Contact us with photos of the damage for an initial assessment before shipping.

Do you offer bulk repair pricing for BC mining operations?

Yes. For operations shipping 5+ units, contact us to discuss volume pricing, freight logistics, and priority scheduling. We have worked with mining operations of all sizes and can accommodate bulk shipments with coordinated diagnostics and repair timelines.
