Micro-Soldering and Board-Level Repair

The repairs other shops send away, done here in Broken Arrow

Nearly every repair shop replaces parts. Very few repair the board those parts plug into, so when a chain store calls a device unrepairable it usually means the fault is not a module they can swap.

Board-level repair explained

The difference between swapping a module and repairing the board it sits on.

Hundreds of parts, one failure

A logic board carries hundreds of components measured in fractions of a millimeter, so one failed capacitor, one corroded resistor, or one cracked joint under a power chip stops the whole device.

The math on replacement

Replacing the board costs most of what the device is worth. Replacing the failed component costs a fraction of it.

Microscope, controlled heat, certification

A microscope, heat controlled tightly enough not to lift neighboring parts, and a technician trained to certified soldering standards.

Certifications on the bench

Our lead technician is Umair Zia.

Soldering

IPC J-STD-001, the industry standard for soldered electrical and electronic assemblies

Assembly

IPC-A-610, acceptability of electronic assemblies

Electronics

ETA CET, certified electronics technician

IT certifications

CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and Server+

Component-level work we perform

Five categories, from the routine to the deepest end of the bench.

HDMI port repair

Ports on consoles and laptops are soldered straight to the board, so replacement means desoldering, cleaning the pads, and fitting a new port without lifting a trace. Full detail on the HDMI port repair page.

$125

FPC connector replacement

The small sockets that screens, batteries, and cameras plug into. They tear off during careless repairs elsewhere, so a device that worked before someone else opened it often has exactly this fault.

Capacitors, resistors, and diodes

Passives fail from liquid, voltage spikes, and age. Finding the failed one is the skill, and thermal imaging locates it. A shorted component heats up before it shows anywhere else.

IC replacement

Power management, charging, audio, and backlight driver ICs removed and replaced. The laser desoldering station and the 4K microscope earn their place on this work.

Liquid damage board recovery

Corrosion spreads under chips where no amount of drying reaches, so recovery means ultrasonic cleaning, then tracing what the corrosion destroyed, then replacing it. See water damage repair.

A microscope, controlled heat and a vacuum laminator all sit on one bench here.

Frequently asked questions

Can you explain micro-soldering?

Component-level repair on the board itself. Individual chips, connectors and passives come off and go back on under a microscope, so the failed part is replaced and the board is kept.

Do other shops send this work away?

It needs a microscope, hot air, a laser desoldering station and thermal imaging, plus the hours to learn all four. Shops without them replace parts, so a board fault turns into a quote for a new device.

How much does board-level work cost?

Board diagnostics run $50 to $150 by time and difficulty, and you get the repair price before any work starts. General diagnostics are free.

How long does a board repair take?

3 to 7 business days. Locating the fault is most of the job, and hurrying that part is how boards get damaged further.

Can you recover data from a board that will not power on?

Often yes. Bringing a board up long enough to pull the data is a different goal from restoring the device, and we will say which of the two is realistic.
