Component-level repair of a phone, tablet, MacBook or console logic board, under a microscope, by the shop other shops send their hardest boards to.
Read the rest
Walk in at our Arlington, VA lab, or mail your device in from anywhere in the US.
Microsoldering is component-level repair of a logic board: replacing the tiny failed chips, rebuilding broken traces and pads, and re-seating connectors under a microscope, instead of swapping the whole board. It's how a board that won't power on, loops, won't charge, or took water can be fixed and its data recovered. It's been our core specialty for 11 years, and the work other shops send to us.

More detail
For 11 years it's been our core specialty: the boards that won't power on, loop, won't charge, or took water damage, including recovering data other shops gave up on.
Board fault: module swap vs microsoldering
| Approach | Typical shop | WeFixed |
|---|---|---|
| Failed chip on board | Replace whole board | Replace the chip |
| Broken trace or pad | Condemn the board | Rebuilt |
| Data on dead board | Given up on | Recovered chip-level |
| Your original board | Discarded | Kept |
| Diagnostic | Varies | $65, applies |
Swapping the whole board is faster for them but loses your data and costs more; we repair the actual fault.
Signs of a board-level fault
- Won't power on / no signs of life
- Stuck in a boot loop or restarts randomly
- Won't charge or isn't recognized by a charger
- Liquid / water damage
- No backlight or distorted display from a board fault
- Lost data on a device that won't turn on
Honest by default
Every board starts with a $65 diagnostic and a written report, exact cost and timeline before we touch it. The fee applies toward your repair.

Why other shops send their boards to us
We're an independent lab, no manufacturer program tells us which boards we're allowed to open.
More on that
In 11 years we've become the shop other repair shops and technicians ship their hardest cases to: failed ICs, reballing, lifted pads, dual-layer boards, and data recovery from devices that won't turn on. We'll also tell you honestly when a board isn't worth saving.
Tell us what happened.
Board-level work has no list price, so there is no quiz to walk. Send the details and a few photos, and a technician confirms the exact cost in writing after the $65 diagnostic, which applies to your repair.
