Identify the failed circuit
Power rails, resistance readings and the reported symptom narrow the problem to a specific area.
Board-level diagnostics · Calgary
Motherboard repair
& microsoldering.
When replacing an entire board is expensive or unnecessary, component-level diagnosis can identify the actual failed circuit, connector or chip.

Repair approachComponent level
No double charge: The $40 diagnostic fee is applied toward the approved repair. Starting prices exclude GST and any required parts.
Board-level work
Repair the fault.
Not the whole board.
We use electrical measurements and visual inspection to isolate the failure. Not every damaged board is repairable, but diagnosis provides evidence before you decide whether repair makes financial sense.
No-power diagnosis
Short circuits, missing power rails and failed input protection.
Charging circuits
USB-C power delivery, charging controllers and damaged connectors.
Liquid damage
Corrosion cleanup, damaged traces and affected components.
Microsoldering
Ports, connectors, ICs and small surface-mount components.
BIOS and startup
Firmware-related faults and boards that fail during initialization.
Trace and pad repair
Damaged pads, lifted traces and connector-area reconstruction.
Devices assessed: Windows laptops, gaming laptops, MacBooks, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and other electronics with repairable board-level faults.
Diagnostic sequence
Measure first.
Solder second.
Board-level repair begins with evidence. The sequence below keeps the diagnosis focused and avoids replacing components only because they are close to the visible damage.
Confirm the component or connection
Visual inspection and electrical testing confirm whether the fault is a port, trace, IC or supporting circuit.
Restore and test the board
The affected area is repaired, cleaned and tested in the device before the result is confirmed.
Motherboard FAQ
Evidence before
replacement.
Can every damaged motherboard be repaired?
No. Repairability depends on the failed circuit, board condition, corrosion and previous work. Diagnosis provides evidence before you decide.
Can you assess a board another shop already attempted?
Yes, but previous work can affect repairability and price. Include the repair history and clear photos in your request.
Is the $40 diagnostic fee added to an approved repair?
No. The $40 diagnostic fee is applied toward the approved repair. If repair is declined, it covers testing and fault identification.
What warranty is provided?
Warranty coverage depends on the repair performed and the parts used. We confirm the applicable warranty before work begins.
