Microsoldering & Board-Level Repair in Chicago
2A Electronics performs component-level microsoldering repair in Chicago: dead phones, charging IC and audio IC faults, backlight issues, damaged board traces, water-damaged logic boards, and data recovery from devices other shops call unfixable. Free diagnostics, transparent quotes.
When a device is "dead" or another shop says it cannot be fixed, the problem is usually on the logic board, and that is exactly what our microsoldering bench is for. Led by our senior microsoldering specialist, we repair boards under the microscope: replacing failed ICs, rebuilding damaged pads and traces, cleaning corrosion from liquid damage, and recovering data from phones that will not turn on. Phones, iPads, MacBooks, laptops, and game consoles all get board-level treatment in-house, nothing is mailed out.

Common issues we fix every day
From the most common problems to complex repairs, our Chicago technicians have seen it all.
What Microsoldering Can Fix
No-power devices (dead phones and laptops), charging IC failures (phone will not charge with a good port), backlight problems (phone works but screen is dark), audio IC faults (grayed-out speaker, no microphone), Touch/Face ID hardware faults, damaged or lifted board pads after a bad repair elsewhere, bent and torn flex connectors, water damage corrosion, short circuits, and HDMI-related board damage on game consoles.
Data Recovery From Dead Phones
If your phone died with photos and messages still on it, board-level repair is often the only way to get them back, the data lives in storage chips on the board. We revive the board long enough to get the device booting so you can back everything up. This is one of our most requested microsoldering services in Chicago.
