Circuit Board Repairs


Here at Electronic Fix, we are pros at repairing circuit boards for all types of devices . Circuit board repair involves identifying and fixing issues with electronic boards, which are responsible for the functioning of various electronic devices. Here are some key aspects of circuit board repair that we use:

  1. Visual Inspection: We begin by visually inspecting the circuit board for any obvious signs of damage, such as burnt components, broken traces, or swollen capacitors. We look for loose connections, damaged solder joints, or any signs of corrosion.

  2. Component Replacement: We identify faulty components on the circuit board, such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, or integrated circuits (ICs). Unsolder the defective component and replace it with a new one of the same type and rating.

  3. Soldering and Desoldering: We use soldering and desoldering techniques to remove and replace these components. This involves using a soldering iron, solder, and desoldering tools like a solder sucker or desoldering braid. Always ensuring clean and reliable solder joints.

  4. Trace Repair: If there are broken or damaged traces on the circuit board, we can repair them by carefully scraping away the protective coating, applying a conductive epoxy or wire, and reconnecting the trace.

  5. Cleaning and Decontamination: In case of corrosion or contamination due to moisture or dirt, we clean the circuit board using isopropyl alcohol or a specialized electronics cleaner. This helps remove any debris or contaminants that may affect the board's functionality.

  6. Testing and Verification: After completing the repairs, we thoroughly test the circuit board to ensure that the issues have been resolved. We use multimeters, oscilloscopes, or other testing equipment to verify proper functioning and diagnose any remaining problems.

If trying this yourself, remember to handle circuit boards with care, as they are sensitive to static electricity and physical damage. If you're a beginner or dealing with complex repairs, it's advisable to seek guidance from our experienced technicians where we can provide

professional repair services.
