Advanced Electronics Repairs
Component-level motherboard repairs when replacing parts isn’t the answer. Professional microsoldering expertise across UK for devices others can’t fix.
Why Component-Level Repair?
When manufacturers quote thousands for replacement, we fix the actual problem. Serving customers across UK with professional laptop and phone repair solutions.
Microscopic Precision
Components smaller than rice grains require 45x magnification and steady hands trained over years.
Data Preservation
Unlike replacement, repair keeps your data intact. No need for backups or transfers.
60-90% Savings
Fixing the failed component costs fraction of full board replacement manufacturers suggest.
Environmental Impact
Repair reduces electronic waste. One fixed board saves manufacturing resources for new device.
Power Management IC Repairs
The heart of your device’s power system. When these fail, nothing works.
Common Power IC Failures:

Advanced Repair Questions
Everything you need to know about component-level repairs
Signs include: device won’t power on despite charged battery, random shutdowns or restarts, charging issues after port replacement, overheating without heavy use, or if repair shops declared it “unrepairable.” Our free diagnostic reveals if component-level repair can help.
We invest in professional equipment worth £50,000+, maintain component inventory, continuously train our technicians, and work at microscopic level. Most shops only replace modular parts – we repair the actual failed components on circuit boards.
Yes, with 85% success rate if brought within 48 hours. We use ultrasonic cleaning, replace corroded components, and apply protective coating. The key is quick action – corrosion spreads rapidly. Even old liquid damage can sometimes be repaired.
Typically 2-5 business days: 1 day for diagnosis, 1-3 days for repair depending on complexity, 1 day for testing. Rush service available for critical repairs. We provide accurate timeline after initial assessment.
Yes, 6 months warranty on all component-level repairs. This covers the specific components we repaired. If same fault returns, we fix it free. Warranty excludes new issues, physical damage, or liquid damage after repair.
Costs vary: £120-300 for IC replacement, £250-500 for BGA reballing, £150-400 for liquid damage. Price includes diagnosis (£25-50), labour (£60-80/hour), and components (cost +20%). Always cheaper than manufacturer replacement quotes.
You only pay diagnostic fee (£25-50). We’ll explain findings and why repair isn’t viable. Sometimes we can still recover data even if device can’t be fully repaired. About 15% of devices have damage beyond economic repair.
Yes – Apple, Samsung, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, MSI, Razer, Microsoft, and more. Also specialized equipment: medical devices, industrial controllers, automotive ECUs, professional audio gear, and vintage electronics.
Absolutely. Component-level repair doesn’t require data erasure. Your storage remains untouched. We can even prioritize data recovery if device can’t be fully repaired. All work done in secure facility with CCTV monitoring.
Book diagnostic appointment at our Oxford Street or Wimbledon location, or use our mail-in service. We’ll assess your device, explain the issue, and provide fixed quote. No obligation to proceed. Diagnostic fee credited if you approve repair.
Yes, we serve customers throughout the UK via our mail-in repair service. From London to Manchester, Birmingham to Leeds – secure packaging and insured courier collection available nationwide. Local drop-off available at our London locations.
