Professional Circuit Board Repair Service
Expert component-level diagnostics and micro-soldering for logic boards, PCBs, and embedded systems. We specialise in BGA rework, trace reconstruction, and power regulation repair for consumer and industrial electronics.
Our service provides a technical alternative to expensive board replacements. We isolate faults to the individual component—capacitors, ICs, or MOSFETs—saving up to 70% compared to manufacturer “module-swapping” prices.

Advanced PCB Diagnostics & Micro-Soldering
Modern Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are complex multi-layer assemblies. When a device fails, it is rarely the entire board that is “dead”—it is usually a single failed component or a broken circuit pathway. Our diagnostic-first approach utilizes thermal imaging and oscilloscope analysis to find the root cause.
⚡ Power Rail Repair
We resolve “no power” conditions by identifying shorted capacitors, failed PMICs (Power Management ICs), and blown voltage regulators.
🔬 BGA Rework & Reballing
Specialist repair for hidden solder joints under processors and memory chips using profiled infrared reflow and precision reballing techniques.
🧵 Trace & Pad Reconstruction
Restoration of severed copper traces and lifted solder pads caused by physical impact, battery leakage, or previous poor-quality repair attempts.
Common Board-Level Failure Vectors
Circuit board faults typically manifest through environmental stress, thermal fatigue, or electrical transients:
💧 Liquid Damage & Corrosion
Ultrasonic cleaning and trace repair to neutralise electrochemical migration. We arrest corrosion before it compromises multi-layer stackups.
🔥 Thermal Stress & Short Circuits
Identification of “hot spots” using thermal cameras to locate shorted MOSFETs and tantalum capacitors that prevent the device from booting.

🎹 Audio & Hi-Fi PCBs
Component-level restoration for vintage and modern audio interfaces, resolving signal path noise and failed DAC/ADC chips.
🏭 Industrial & B2B Boards
Support for discontinued or proprietary control boards where replacement is unavailable, focusing on longevity and reliability.
Repair vs Replace: The Engineering Perspective
✅ When Repair Makes Sense
- Isolated Component Failure: When a single IC or capacitor has failed on an otherwise healthy board.
- Data Recovery: When the board must be made functional to extract critical data from integrated storage.
- Unavailable Parts: When the manufacturer no longer stocks replacement boards for your specific model.
❌ When Replacement is Better
- Extensive Multi-Zone Corrosion: When liquid damage has propagated across multiple circuit domains.
- Substrate Delamination: When the physical board layers have separated or the board is severely warped.
- Economic Obsolescence: When the labour cost of micro-soldering exceeds the value of a replacement board.
Service Logistics & Frequently Asked Questions
The PCB Repair Pathway: How it Works
How much does a circuit board repair cost?
Pricing is diagnostic-led. Simple component swaps (capacitors/resistors) are lower cost, while complex BGA rework or trace reconstruction requires more labour. You will receive a fixed-price quote after our free estimate.
Can you repair boards with liquid damage?
Yes, provided the corrosion hasn’t destroyed the internal layers of the board. We use ultrasonic cleaning and component replacement to restore liquid-damaged PCBs.
Do you have schematics for my specific board?
We maintain a vast library of schematics. For proprietary or rare boards, we use circuit tracing and engineering first principles to isolate faults without documentation.
