No-power repair
Your device isn’t dead. It’s a power fault we can trace.
- Won't turn on? Fixed
- Data stays intact
- Power rail traced
- $65 written diagnostic
A phone, laptop, tablet, or console that won't turn on almost never means the whole machine is gone. It means one link in the power chain has broken, a charging IC, a power-management chip, a shorted capacitor, a failed DC jack or power supply. We find which one, at a Repair Center with a microscope and a meter, instead of guessing at parts until something works.
A device that won't turn on is almost never dead. It's usually a single break in the power chain - a charging IC, power-management chip, shorted cap, or failed DC jack - not the whole board. WeFixed traces power under a microscope and tells you in writing exactly where it stops. Your data survives the repair. The $65 diagnostic applies toward it.
"Won't turn on" is a symptom, not a diagnosis. WeFixed is an independent board-level lab in Arlington, VA, we open the device, follow the power up from the battery connector through the charging circuit and main rails, and tell you in writing exactly where it stops. Most "dead" devices are a single-point fault, and the data on them survives the repair.
Parts-swap shop vs WeFixed
| Typical shop | WeFixed | |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Swap parts blind | Trace the rail |
| Your data | Often wiped | Stays intact |
| If board fails | Replace whole device | Fix the component |
| Diagnosis | Guesswork | Written, $65 |
| Warranty | Varies | 1 yr OEM / 1 mo aftermarket |
We test battery and charger first, then the board, so you fix the real cause.
Why bring a dead device to WeFixed
Most shops meet a no-power device with a flowchart: new battery, new charging port, new screen, and if it's still dead, "it's the motherboard, replace the whole thing." We do the opposite. As an independent board-level lab, we put the device under a microscope, power it through a Repair Center supply, and follow the current until we find the component that's actually stopping it, the failed power IC, the shorted cap, the broken trace. That's how a "write-off" becomes a fixable fault, how your data comes back with it, and why you get an honest written answer for $65 instead of a stack of replaced parts. Walk in to our Arlington, VA lab or use tracked mail-in from anywhere in the 50 states.
