Board-Level Micro-Soldering Repair

No power, liquid damage, a botched repair, or a fault nobody else will touch — this is component-level work done under the microscope, not a board swap. We fix boards other shops replace, by mail, anywhere in the US.

Problems this covers

  • Console won't power on at all, or shuts off seconds after boot
  • Liquid damage — spill, flood, or mystery corrosion
  • A previous repair attempt made things worse
  • Another shop said "not repairable" or quoted a full board swap
  • Blown fuses, shorted power rails, or damaged connectors beyond HDMI and USB-C

What the repair involves

  1. Free evaluation before you ship

    Describe the fault in the repair request form. We review every submission first — if it's not worth your money to ship, we'll tell you before you spend anything.

  2. Component-level diagnosis on the bench

    Your board goes under the microscope. We trace the fault to the failing component — shorted rails, blown fuses, corroded traces, damaged ICs — instead of condemning the whole board.

  3. Quote with photo evidence

    You get an emailed quote with photos of what we found. Nothing proceeds until you approve it, and your $50 diagnostic credit is applied to the repair.

  4. Micro-soldering repair and full testing

    The failed components are replaced under the microscope, corrosion is cleaned, and traces are rebuilt. The console is then tested to its full output before it ships back.

Straight answer policy: not every board is worth fixing. If diagnosis shows a repair that doesn't make economic sense, we say so — your deposit is refunded and the console comes back to you.

Pricing & what's included

Quote-based$50 diagnostic credit applied to the repair

Diagnosis is always free — the $50 credit means that when you approve a quote-based repair, $50 of the bench work is already covered.

  • Free diagnosis when your console arrives
  • 90-day repair warranty
  • Photo proof of the finished repair before you pay
  • Free return shipping — you cover inbound shipping

Turnaround is typically 2–3 business days on the bench once your deposit and console arrive, plus shipping. Complex board faults can take longer — you'll know from the quote.
