Frequently Asked Questions
What is microsoldering repair?
Microsoldering is component-level repair performed under a microscope on the device
How much does microsoldering cost in Chicago?
Board diagnostics are free. Common repairs like charging IC replacement start at $99, backlight repair from $119, and water damage board cleaning from $59. Data recovery starts at $149 with a no-data-no-fee policy.
Can you recover data from a dead phone?
In most cases, yes. We repair the board enough to boot the device so your photos, messages, and contacts can be backed up. If we cannot recover the data, you do not pay the recovery fee.
My phone was water damaged, can the board be saved?
Often, yes, especially if you act fast. We disassemble the device, clean corrosion ultrasonically, and repair damaged components. Do not charge or attempt to power a wet device before bringing it in.
Do you do board repair on game consoles and laptops?
Yes. We do board-level work on PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch (including HDMI-related board damage), plus MacBooks and Windows laptops with no-power or liquid damage issues.
