Just a few days ago, my Antminer broke down. I took it to a repair center and saw a technician using this device to test the miner. He explained the cause of the problem and the cost of repairs. I did some research and found this test fixture much cheaper, so I'm thinking of buying one to keep at home just in case. The description says it can be used an unlimited number of times as long as it's the same model. It could be a good way to earn some extra cash when I'm not using it, but that's just my opinion. I'll wait for the machine to arrive and see how it performs.

This device checks the chips on the removed board and can show the number of non-working chips.
Chip failure due to overheating is a very common problem with many ASICs, especially T21 models.
The problem arises when replacing these chips. The chips are not cheap, and there are many nuances with the warranty.

It's not a big deal if you're careful, and you can ask professionals to help you.

You don't trust professionals?
In Russia, a repairman will tell you that if you are so smart, then repair ASICs yourself Smiley
Chip failure can be noticed for indirect reasons, but if you don't have chips and equipment to replace them, then there is no point in buying a tester and wasting time on diagnostics.

The test fixture is a tool to scan the hashboard for possible failed ASIC chips, but it's not a tool to scan the whole unit, including the control board and PSUs.
The image you provided is the zeusbtc universal test fixture which is the upgraded version.
It is only worth buying if you have a large number of ASIC units but if you only have a single one I think better build a DIY version. You just need a few things the old control board of the Antminer S9 can be turned into a test fixture.

You don't trust professionals?
In Russia, a repairman will tell you that if you are so smart, then repair ASICs yourself Smiley

I don't think he said that he doesn't trust professionals.
Not only in Russia or anywhere else, or even here in my country, if you feel like a tech-tumer (a combination of a customer that feeling technician.) Or even me, honestly, I usually said this to customers in the past: why not repair it with their own or DIY if they already have an idea?
This is pretty normal nowadays since most of the people are always asking Google and YouTube for some guides, but these customers end up bringing the unit to the repair shops because of lack of experience and tools. However, they are using it to say that you are asking too much (payment), but the solution should be simple. Once you heard that word as a technician, your blood will boil, and you'll end up telling them, "Why don't you DIY instead of bringing it to a professional?"
