Most “repair” is really replacement — swap the whole board, bill for the board. I’d rather find the one part that actually failed and fix that. That’s board-level repair, and it’s what I do.
What I fix
- Microsoldering — fine-pitch and BGA rework, lifted pads and broken traces, jumper repairs, connector replacement. The small, fiddly work that needs a microscope and hot air.
- Board-level repair — component-level diagnosis on logic boards. Trace the fault to the failed part instead of shotgunning replacements.
- Computer repair — the broader stuff too: laptops, desktops, the diagnosis-and-fix work that doesn’t need a scope.
- Vintage computers — restoration and recapping of older machines. The ones worth keeping running.
- ECU repair — on the roadmap. Not offered yet, but it’s where this is heading.
How it works
This is a growing practice — no ticketing system, no storefront, just reach out and tell me what you’ve got. I’ll be straight about whether it’s something I can fix, what it’ll take, and when I can’t help. No-fix, no-fee on diagnosis. And the usual caveat with any board work: back up anything you can’t lose — I’ll be careful, but I can’t be responsible for data on a device that’s already failing.
