Service Details
Component-level laptop motherboard repair in London - we fix the board other shops replace.
When a laptop is dead, unstable or refusing to charge and the easy suspects - battery, charger, RAM, SSD - have been ruled out, the fault is on the motherboard. Instead of quoting you a whole new board, we find the failed component under the microscope and replace that: microsoldering, hot-air rework, thermal imaging and schematic-led fault tracing, on the same bench that has handled board work here for twelve years.
Signs the Motherboard Is the Problem
- No power at all - no lights, no fans, no response
- Powers on but no display, or stuck on the maker’s logo
- Still faulty after a liquid spill was “cleaned up”
- Random shutdowns or restarts, especially under load
- Runs hot doing nothing
- Charging stopped although the battery and charger test fine
- Dead USB ports, no audio, no backlight
- Another repair attempt made things worse
How It Works
1. Assessment - £39 (£49 if the laptop has been opened elsewhere). We rule out the modular parts first, then inspect the board under the microscope and trace where the fault sits. Takes 1–3 working days. The fee is credited towards the repair if you go ahead.
2. A firm quote. You hear which component failed, what the repair costs and whether we would spend that money on this laptop. Nothing starts until you approve the price. If the repair is not worth it, we say so - and if the storage is soldered or paired to the board, we tell you what that means for your files before you decide anything.
3. The repair. Failed components replaced under the microscope, the board tested on the bench, then the whole laptop tested under load - a board that works for five minutes is not a repair. Typical turnaround is 3–7 working days including the assessment; BGA rework (reballing a graphics chip or processor) takes longer and is quoted individually.
4. Warranty. Six months on the work. If the same fault returns, we repair it again at no charge. It does not cover new damage, fresh spills or unrelated faults.
What We Repair at Board Level
- Power circuits - MOSFETs, fuses, voltage regulators, charging ICs
- Liquid damage - ultrasonic cleaning, corroded components replaced
- Ports - USB-C and charging ports soldered to the board
- BGA rework - GPU and CPU reballing where it makes economic sense
- Backlight, audio and keyboard-controller faults
All major brands: Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface and MacBooks - and on boards with soldered or paired storage we handle cases where the priority is data recovery rather than the machine.
When Repair Is Not Worth It
Not every board can, or should, be saved. Deep multi-layer corrosion, a cracked board, or a repair that would cost more than the laptop is worth - when we find one of those, you hear it at the quote stage and pay only the assessment fee. Where the board is beyond repair but the data matters, laptop data recovery is usually still possible.
Bring the laptop and its charger to our Wimbledon workshop (136 Kingston Road, SW19 1LY), or post it from anywhere in the UK. Questions first? Call 020 8543 7088 or ask for a quote with the model and the symptoms.
