Elk Grove Motherboard Repair | Micro-Soldering, BGA Reball, Component-Level Fixes
Motherboard failures used to mean replacement. Today, most board-level issues can be repaired at the component level (replacing a charging IC, reballing a BGA chip, swapping capacitors). iGeek Tech Repair's experienced technicians perform micro-soldering on phone, laptop, and PC motherboards.
We handle every common board-level repair: iPhone logic board work (Tristar charging IC on older models, Hydra and Tigris charging circuits on newer ones, audio IC, power management), Samsung mainboard repairs, MacBook logic board work (T2 chip, USB-C controller), Dell and HP laptop motherboard repairs, and desktop PC motherboard diagnostics.
Every repair is quoted after inspection, before any work starts. Honest odds before we start.

Honest assessment. Every repair is quoted after inspection, before any work starts.
Why component-level repair matters
When a phone won't charge, the natural assumption is 'broken charging port.' Sometimes that's true. Often, the actual failure is on the logic board: a damaged charging IC (Tristar on older iPhones, Hydra or Tigris on newer models), a failed audio IC affecting power, or a hairline solder fracture. Most repair shops can't see that, so they swap the whole board (or send you back to Apple/manufacturer). We do the actual repair.
Component-level repairs we perform
Micro-soldering. 0.4mm-spacing pads, components the size of a grain of rice. We have proper soldering stations, hot-air rework, microscopes, and the patience to do this work right.
BGA reball. Ball Grid Array chips (like the iPhone's audio IC or a laptop's GPU) fail through solder-joint fatigue. We reball BGAs to restore function without replacing the chip. A quick reflow, by contrast, is only a temporary measure; we use it almost exclusively to keep a device alive long enough to recover your data, never as a permanent repair.
Capacitor and resistor replacement. Liquid damage and surge events can damage individual capacitors. We identify and replace at the component level.
Charging IC, audio IC, and power-management IC replacement. The most common board-level failures we see on phones and laptops. We have the parts and the tooling.
No-power diagnosis. Devices that won't boot at all. We trace power rails, find the short or failed component, and repair.
Boards we service
iPhone logic boards. Charging ICs (Tristar on older iPhones, Hydra and Tigris on newer models), audio IC, baseband, NAND, power management. NAND and baseband issues on stacked 'sandwich' boards are repairs we handle regularly. See iPhone repair.
Samsung Galaxy mainboards. Charging IC, eMMC issues, USB-C controller.
MacBook logic boards. USB-C controller, T2 chip issues, dGPU repairs on Intel models, power-on failures. See MacBook repair.
Windows laptop motherboards (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, others). No-power, no-display, no-boot diagnostics. See laptop repair.
Desktop PC motherboards. ATX board diagnostics, capacitor replacement, BIOS chip recovery. See PC repair.

How much? Component-level repair pricing is case-by-case. Every repair is quoted after inspection, before any work starts. Diagnostic fee quoted at check-in and applied to your repair if you proceed. We'll give you honest odds of success.
When board repair isn't the right call
Sometimes a full board swap is genuinely the right answer: when corrosion is too widespread, when a specific IC is unavailable, when the device is too old to source parts. We'll tell you upfront when that's the case. We're not trying to win every repair; we're trying to give you the most honest assessment.
