Portland's Microsoldering
& Board-Level Repair.
Advanced microsoldering and board-level repair in Portland, OR. We diagnose circuit board failures under magnification and replace the exact component that failed.
What We Repair.
These are the problems people walk in with. Micro soldering is how we fix them — but that's our job to figure out, not yours.
Won't Turn On
Completely dead. No lights, no fan spin, nothing. Usually a failed power IC, a shorted capacitor, or a blown fuse on the board — components we can replace directly.
Won't Charge
Plugged in but nothing happens. Or it charges only at certain angles, or gets hot. Often a failed charging IC or damaged pads — not the port itself, but what's behind it on the board.
Port Fell Off or Broke
USB-C snapped off. HDMI pulled out. iPad Lightning port broke loose. We re-solder the port directly onto the board — or rebuild the pads if they tore off with it.
Water Damage
Got wet and now something's wrong. Liquid shorts components across the board. We clean it, identify what failed, and replace the damaged components — not just dry it out.
GPU & Display Issues
Lines on screen, GPU artifacts, flickering, or a display that won't work even after a screen replacement. When the fault is the GPU, display IC, or a damaged pad on the board — that's exactly where we work.
Board-Level Damage
Big brands replace the whole board — it's the fastest path for them. We do what they do on the back end, but for you upfront. Every board failure is different, and we diagnose each one individually rather than swapping and moving on.
If anyone can
fix it — it's us.
Board-level repair is one of the most technically demanding things in device repair. Some jobs call for a replacement part. Some call for working directly on the board under a microscope — replacing components measured in fractions of a millimeter. Some call for both.
We've been doing this for over 25 years. We've seen the damage other shops declined, the boards written off as unrepairable, and the devices that just needed someone willing to go deeper.
We work under magnification
Stereo microscopes at 40x+ magnification. Components we replace are often smaller than a grain of salt.
We find what actually failed
A replacement logic board often costs close to a new device. We find what actually failed and replace just that — saving you from an unnecessary board swap or upgrade you didn't need.
Liquid damage sometimes needs more than a cleaning
Liquid damage shorts components. We trace where it failed and repair at the source — not just clean it and hope.
We'll always tell you if it doesn't make sense
Before we start, we tell you exactly what we found and what it costs. If the repair cost approaches what a replacement would run you, we'll tell you that too — we'd rather you make the right call than just take your money.
