Microsoldering and board-level repair

When a fault is on the circuit board, the fix is on the circuit board. We repair individual components instead of writing the device off.

Faults we look at

No power
The device shows no sign of life or stops at a logo. The cause can be a shorted component on the board.
Charging problems
Not charging, charging slowly or heating up. Sometimes the charging port is fine and a component on the board is at fault.
Liquid damage
Corrosion can be cleaned and damaged components replaced. The sooner the device is powered off and brought in, the better.
Board repair
Damaged tracks, failed chips and lifted pads repaired under the microscope instead of replacing the whole board.
Connector repair
Broken or torn-off connectors on the board, such as display, battery or charging connectors.
Data recovery cases
When the device will not start but the data matters, board-level repair can sometimes bring it back far enough to recover it. This cannot be guaranteed.

How pricing works

Board repairs vary a lot from one fault to the next, so most are priced after diagnosis. Where a starting price exists it is shown on the model’s repair page as “From”. Otherwise we tell you the price and what is involved before any work begins.
