Micro-Soldering Services

Not many repair shops offer micro-soldering as a service and that’s what makes Device Dr stand out from the rest. Many people are frustrated when they bring their phone to a repair shop hoping to have a repair completed, only to be told that they need “micro-soldering”. Many repair shops do not attempt micro-soldering due to the precision of the work needed. Not only does a micro-solderer need smaller tips, but they will also need a microscope or magnifying lenses to see the components they are working on, along with an incredibly steady hand. Micro-soldering can be compared to threading a tiny needle – but with electronics.

On a device that you’ve spent $100 on, it might not make much sense to look for a micro-soldering repair. With the ever increasing costs of our high-tech devices, many people are turning to repairs rather than replacement. New Apple and Samsung devices can cost up to $1,500! That’s as much as a desktop computer, or even more. Rather than throwing away your non-functional iPhone that needs micro-soldering, we offer micro-soldering repair solutions that other repair centers can’t – at a reasonable cost.

Charging
Ports

Many mobile electronics have soldered charging ports which can fail under normal use or even abnormal abuse or accidents. These ports are critical for many devices to receive charge or transfer data. Computers often times have daughterboards with soldered charging ports; occasionally we can source replacement boards while other times the boards are pricey so replacing the soldered component is a better option. We can do most ports from your common micro USB-A, to DC power supply jacks, USB-C and lightning ports. The prices vary depending on the project but soldering starts at just $80 (does not include disassembly + reassembly of the device).

Integrated Circuit “IC”
Replacement

Every device on the market has IC chips to control, power, process data, and just run the device functions. Some common issues we see are the power management chips fail from using non-certified cables, over powered charging blocks, or just fail “naturally”. We can do a series of testing to verify the issue prior to performing the repair. Due to the complexity of tech devices there may be a few issues causing the device to perform incorrectly. We will be happy to help diagnose the issues in the shop.
