Repairs most shops can't do
Most repair shops can only swap parts like screens and batteries. When the fault is on the main board, such as a burnt-out chip, a snapped port or a damaged connector, they'll tell you it can't be fixed.
Microsoldering means replacing those tiny parts on the board itself, under a microscope with a fine-tip soldering iron and hot air. It's skilled, precise work, and it often saves a device that would otherwise be scrapped.
Diagnose
We test the board and use the microscope to find the exact faulty part, not just guess.
Quote
You get an exact price before any work starts. If it isn't worth repairing, we'll tell you.
Repair
The faulty chip, port or connector is removed and a new one is soldered in place.
Test
We test the whole device, not just the repair, before you collect it.

What customers tell us
These are all board faults we can usually fix.
“Another shop said it can't be fixed.”
Often it can. Most shops don't do board-level repairs.
“I replaced the charging port and it still won't charge.”
Usually a faulty charging chip on the board.
“The TV just says no signal.”
A damaged HDMI port or HDMI chip.
“It got hot and died.”
A short circuit on the board. We find it and replace the failed part.
“I just need my photos back.”
We can often revive a dead board long enough to recover your data.
“The screen connector ripped off.”
We solder on a new connector so a new screen will work.
Fix it, don't replace it

Microsoldering questions
Can't see your question? Call or message us on 07724 615400.
What is microsoldering?
It's repairing the tiny parts on a device's main board, such as chips, ports and connectors, under a microscope. It fixes faults that a simple part swap can't.
How much does a board repair cost?
Every fault is different, so we diagnose it first and give you an exact price before any work starts. If we can't fix it, you don't pay for the repair.
How long does it take?
Board repairs take longer than a screen or battery swap because of the diagnosis and testing involved. We'll give you a turnaround time when we quote.
Can you get photos off a dead phone?
Often, yes. We repair the board enough to get the phone working so you can back up your data. You'll need to know your passcode. We can't promise success on every phone, but there's no fee if we can't recover it.
Another shop said my device can't be fixed. Can you?
Quite possibly. Many shops only replace parts, so a board fault looks unfixable to them. Bring it in or message us and we'll take a look.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty. See our lifetime warranty page for details.
