Motherboard & board-level repair
When a shop says "motherboard gone, buy a new phone", a good bench often disagrees. Most board faults are one failed component — a charging IC, a power rail, a corroded trace — not the whole board. Board-level repair is where a real lab separates itself from a parts-swap counter.
Sounds familiar?
Common symptoms
- Completely dead — no light, no vibration, no charging response
- Stuck on the logo or restarting in a loop
- No network / no SIM detected, or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth greyed out
- Not charging even after a new battery and port
- Camera, audio or face-unlock failures that parts replacement didn't fix
Behind the symptom
Probable causes
- Liquid damage and the corrosion it leaves behind
- Power surges from cheap chargers and unstable power banks
- Impact damage cracking solder joints under BGA chips
- A single failed IC — charging, power-management, audio or baseband
Step by step
How the repair works
Bench diagnosis
Current-draw analysis and schematic-guided probing isolate the failing rail or component — we find the fault, not guess at it.
Quote with odds
Board work is the one area with genuine uncertainty. We quote a fixed price and tell you the realistic success chances for your specific fault before you commit.
Micro-soldering
Failed components are replaced under magnification with hot-air and micro-soldering tools at an ESD-safe station.
Burn-in test
The phone is tested through charge cycles and normal use before handover, and the repair carries our written warranty.
Your choices
Repair options
Component-level repair
Replacing the specific failed IC or reworking a joint — the economical route we attempt first.
Data-priority recovery
For dead phones with precious data, we target a stable boot for extraction even if the board isn't worth a permanent repair.
Straight talk
Some boards — badly burnt, multi-fault, or previously botched — aren't worth repairing. We'll say so and help you weigh a pre-owned replacement instead.
Good to know
Before you visit
- Tell us the phone's history honestly — water, drops, previous repair attempts. It shortens diagnosis and improves the odds.
- If data matters, say it first. It changes the repair sequence.
- Bring proof of purchase or ID; board-level jobs are logged with IMEI on the job sheet for your protection.
FAQ
Questions we hear every day
Another shop said my motherboard is dead. Is it worth a second opinion?
Usually, yes. "Motherboard dead" is often shorthand for "beyond my bench." A proper current-draw diagnosis frequently finds a single repairable component. The assessment costs you nothing here.
Is motherboard repair safe for my data?
The repair targets the fault, not your storage. In most successful board repairs data is intact. Where the storage chip itself is damaged, we'll tell you before doing anything irreversible.
Why do board repairs carry uncertainty?
Because a board can hide secondary damage that only appears once the first fault is fixed. That's why we quote fixed prices but give honest odds, and never charge for failed diagnoses.
