Board-level assessment

Microsoldering and mainboard repair options.

Some faults need a closer look than a standard screen, battery or charging-port repair. iWorkshop can assess suitable phones, tablets, MacBooks and laptops for practical board-level repair options.

Assessment comes first. Repair suitability, parts, turnaround and cost depend on the device, fault and condition.

When an assessment may help

For faults beyond a straightforward replacement.

A board-level assessment is not a promise that every device can be repaired. It helps identify whether a sensible repair path may exist.

Power and charging faults

Where the cause is not clearly limited to the external charging port, cable or battery.

Liquid-damage faults

Device condition and corrosion can affect both repair options and data-recovery prospects.

No-power or intermittent faults

For devices that do not start, restart unexpectedly or show an inconsistent fault.

Display and backlight faults

Where a replacement display alone may not explain the symptom.

Data-important devices

Where a device fault may affect access to important photos, documents or other files.

Older or specialised models

Older devices are assessed individually where a practical repair route and parts may still be available.

Before you visit

Protect the device and bring the relevant details.

Bring the device, its charger where relevant, and a simple explanation of what happened. Avoid repeatedly charging, restarting or using a liquid-damaged device.
