Logic-board repair
Motherboard / logic-board repair
- Data stays put
- Failed chip fixed
- $65 diagnostic
- Arlington walk-in
When a phone, MacBook, laptop or console won't power on, the board itself is usually the problem, not a part you can pop out and replace. We fix the board: we find the one failed component and repair it, instead of swapping the whole logic board the way a manufacturer would. Walk in at our Arlington, VA lab, or mail your device in from anywhere in the US.
Yes, a dead phone, MacBook, laptop, or console that won't power on, charge, or stay on usually has a logic-board fault, and WeFixed repairs the one failed component under a microscope instead of swapping the whole board. That keeps your original board, so your data stays put. A $65 written diagnostic confirms the exact failure first.
A logic board is the brain of your device, and most makers don't repair it, they replace the entire board, which is expensive and, on a modern phone or Mac, takes your data with it. We do the opposite: under a microscope we trace the fault to the exact failed chip or circuit and repair your original board. It costs a fraction of a board swap, and because your board is the same board, your photos and files stay where they are.

Signs of a board-level fault
- Won't power on or shows no sign of life
- Powers on but no display, or no backlight
- Won't charge, runs hot, or kills batteries fast
- Random shutdowns, restarts, or boot loops
- Liquid damage or a short on the board
- Quoted a full board replacement somewhere else
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.
We repair the board, we don't just swap it
Manufacturers and most chains treat a logic board as one disposable part: one chip fails and the whole board gets replaced, often for hundreds of dollars, and on phones and modern Macs your data goes with it. We don't work that way. As an independent lab, we open the board, find the one component that failed, and repair it under a microscope, keeping your original hardware, your data, and a lot of your money. It's the work other shops send out, done here, with an honest answer when a board genuinely can't be saved.
