Business Description
Fix256 is a New York, based Bitmain Antminer repair shop branded under VMS Security Cloud, a New York Metro managed-IT and cybersecurity services provider, offering mail-in hashboard repair, bench diagnostics, and Zoom consultation for U.S. Bitcoin mining operators.
The company's repair catalog covers the Antminer S17 and S19 product families. S19-series hashboard repair is listed at $249.99 per board, reduced from a retail price of $349.99; S17 hashboard repair runs $149.99, reduced from $199.99. A one-hour bench diagnostics session is available at $99.99, and a Zoom consultation service is offered for operators troubleshooting miner issues remotely before committing to a mail-in repair. All replacement components are described as sourced from Bitmain and bench-tested prior to installation. Fix256 markets its S19 service as a U.S.-based certified Bitmain hashboard repair; volume pricing is available on request for multi-board submissions.
Each repair includes soldering and component replacement, EEPROM flash, and post-repair bench testing. Completed boards are packaged by Fix256 and returned via UPS; customers bear inbound shipping costs to the New York service center. Stated processing time from receipt is 2, 3 weeks. Boards with burn damage fall outside the standard service scope and are returned at the customer's cost or disposed of per customer preference.
VMS Security Cloud, Fix256's parent entity, provides managed IT, cybersecurity programs, cloud voice, and Ubiquiti Protect commercial surveillance services to small and mid-size businesses across New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey. Its Bitcoin mining division also includes miner and parts sales; VMS Security Cloud advertises 2 MW NOMAD immersion-cooled data center deployments alongside Dell, Supermicro, and HPE HPC server sales.
Beyond ASIC repair, the fix256.com storefront has expanded into discounted consumer electronics, tools, and outdoor gear offered at up to 70% off retail pricing, with order fulfillment powered by ShipStation. Fix256 also owns and operates ScoutFlip, a software platform whose application is not described in publicly available materials. All merchandise is described as inspected before listing.
Fix256 operates in domestic board-level ASIC repair, sparing U.S. operators the international shipping costs and delays of sending boards overseas. The company targets small and mid-scale U.S. operators extending the life of older-generation S17 and S19 hardware rather than sourcing full-unit replacements.
