Board-Level Repair Services

From power fault diagnosis to fine-pitch component replacement, every service is built around precise, evidence-based diagnostics before any repair work begins.

Board-Level Diagnostics

Component-level fault-finding using schematics, thermal imaging and precision measurement equipment to isolate the exact point of failure on a circuit board, so it can be repaired fast and efficiently.

Motherboard Repair

Full repair of laptop, desktop and console motherboards, from power delivery faults to damaged traces and failed ICs, restoring boards that would otherwise be written off.

Power Fault Diagnosis

Tracing no-power and intermittent power faults back through the power delivery stage to identify failed regulators, damaged inductors or faulty control circuitry.

Short Circuit Diagnosis

Thermal and current-based short detection to locate shorted components on a rail without unnecessary part replacement, keeping repairs efficient and cost effective.

MOSFET Replacement

Removal and replacement of failed load-switching and power MOSFETs using hot air rework, with post-repair testing to confirm stable switching under load.

MOSFET Driver Replacement

Diagnosis and replacement of faulty gate driver ICs that control MOSFET switching, a common but easily overlooked cause of repeat power failures.

Power Management IC Replacement

Precision removal and replacement of PMICs and voltage regulator modules, including fine-pitch BGA components found on modern laptop and console boards.

BIOS Programming & Recovery

Reprogramming and recovery of corrupted or blank BIOS chips using in-circuit and off-board programming, restoring boards that fail to boot or display.

NAND Replacement

Replacement of failed NAND storage components where applicable and supported, addressing boot failures caused by damaged onboard flash memory.

USB-C Charging Port Replacement

Replacement of damaged or intermittent USB-C charging and data ports, including cases with pulled pads or associated trace damage.

HDMI Port Replacement

Removal and replacement of cracked, bent or intermittent HDMI connectors on laptops, consoles and graphics cards, restoring reliable video output.

DC Jack Replacement

Repair of damaged DC charging jacks and associated board-level damage, a common failure point on older laptops with barrel-style chargers.

Connector Repair

Repair and replacement of internal board connectors, including display, keyboard, battery and I/O headers damaged through wear or impact.

Liquid Damage Diagnostics

Thorough inspection and testing following liquid exposure to identify shorted rails, corrosion and component damage before any repair work begins.

Corrosion Damage Repair

Cleaning, neutralising and repairing corrosion damage from spills or humidity exposure, including replacement of affected components and traces.

Trace Repair

Rebuilding broken or lifted copper traces on multilayer boards using fine wire jumpers and conductive repair techniques where original pathways have failed.

Component Replacement

Precision replacement of passive and active surface-mount components, from resistors and capacitors to fine-pitch ICs, using appropriate rework equipment.

Insurance Damage Reports

Written diagnostic reports for insurance claims covering fault cause, repair viability and replacement recommendations where a device is uneconomical to repair.
