Microsoldering

When a computer won't turn on, stops charging, or a component burns out, most service centers will tell you the device is ready for the trash or that the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. I see things differently.

Using my advanced diagnostic and repair tools—including high-definition microscopy, precision hot air soldering stations, and laboratory-grade power supplies—I can intervene directly at the component level (SMD components). I only replace what is defective, saving you hundreds of dollars in the process.

My Specialized Microsoldering Services:

Charging Port Replacement (DC Jack / USB-C): If your device no longer detects the charger or the port is physically damaged, I perform clean, durable replacements.
BIOS / UEFI Chip Replacement & Flash: I work directly on memory chips to repair corrupted firmware and restore system booting.
Power Component Replacement (MOSFETs, Capacitors, Resistors): I pinpoint and replace the specific microscopic components responsible for short circuits and power failures.

💡 My Commitment: Repairing a component on an existing motherboard is not only more cost-effective than buying a new machine, but it is also an eco-friendly choice that reduces electronic waste.

Pricing and Policies — Microsoldering

Admission and Diagnostic Policies

Diagnostic Fee: An initial fee applies for microscopic analysis and circuit tracing. If the repair is successful, this fee is 100% credited toward your final invoice.
No Fix, No Fee: If your motherboard is declared irreparable (internal layer damage, dead core chip), the repair invoice is waived. Only the basic diagnostic fee applies.
Viability Assessment: During my diagnostic, I personally evaluate the economic viability of the repair. If the state of your motherboard makes the investment not worthwhile compared to the actual value of your device, I will inform you immediately to save you from unnecessary expenses.
Previous Repair Attempts: If your board has already been handled, heated, or "tinkered with" by another party, you must disclose this upfront. Repairing torn traces or replacing missing components requires significant additional time, and adjusted pricing will apply.

Service Tiers

Tier 1: Ports & Connectors (Intact traces, no logical diagnostic required)

Tier 2: Logic Board & Power Circuitry

Pricing

100$ – 120$

160$-200$

These rates cover most standard failures (ports, connectors, common power components). Complex Cases and Severe Damage: If my diagnostic reveals significant oxidation or damage requiring prolonged intervention, I will submit an adjusted quote for your approval before starting any repair.

Note : All pricing tiers are subject to an initial diagnostic inspection. Estimates are provided before any work is performed.

What's included

USB-C / HDMI Ports
DC Power Jacks
Battery / Screen Connectors (FPC)
SMD Power Buttons

Burned Components (Capacitors / MOSFETs)
Charging & Power Management ICs (PMIC)
Micro-Jumpers (Trace reconstruction)

Warranty and Liquid Damage

Standard Warranty: All microsoldering repairs are covered by a 90-day limited warranty. This warranty applies strictly to the replaced component or the specific solder joint performed.
Liquid Damage Cases: Corrosion is unpredictable. Repairs on liquid-damaged boards focus primarily on data recovery and include a restricted 30-day warranty.
⚠️ Exclusions: Any signs of drops, impact, further liquid exposure, or tampering by a third party will immediately void the warranty.
