1 How It's Performed

For a repair job on this component, our technicians start with component-level diagnosis under a microscope — checking power rails, shorted capacitors, and damaged ICs with a multimeter and thermal camera — before any chip-level soldering work begins, since a wrong first guess on a board-level repair can turn a fixable fault into a dead board.

Typical time: 2–24 hours depending on fault complexity

2 What This Requires

• A full diagnostic pass (power rails, shorts, visible damage) before any repair quote is given — motherboard faults are rarely a single obvious cause.
• IC-level soldering equipment (hot-air rework station, microscope) for component-level repairs, not just a board-swap approach.
• A burn-in/stress test after repair, since a board can boot successfully and still fail under sustained load.

3 When You Need This

• The laptop or PC shows no signs of life at all — no lights, no fans, no POST beep — after ruling out the charger/power supply itself.
• Random shutdowns, freezes, or black screens that happen regardless of what software is running.
• A visible burn mark, swollen capacitor, or liquid-damage residue on the board.
