/ Board-level repair
Motherboard repair & microsoldering
If another shop told you the board was dead and the machine wasn't worth fixing, get a second opinion. A lot of "dead" laptops are one failed charging IC, a shorted capacitor or corrosion from an old spill — all repairable at component level.
Jobs we do every week
- No power / no charge circuits
- No display with a working backlight
- Liquid damage and corrosion treatment
- Shorted capacitors and MOSFETs
- Charging IC and USB-C port replacement
- BGA reflow and reball where viable
- DC power jack replacement
- Console HDMI port replacement
- Data recovery from otherwise dead boards
- Written assessment when a board is genuinely finished
Indicative pricing: board-level diagnostics free, component repairs typically $180–$450 depending on the fault. Data recovery from a dead board quoted separately.

Voltage rails and short-detection under the microscope.
