Advanced Phone Motherboard Repair and Microsoldering in Kampala
When a phone is dead, won't charge, or has been written off elsewhere, the fault is often one tiny component. With 12+ years of board-level experience, our technicians find it under the microscope and repair it.
When a phone needs board-level repair
- The phone is completely dead, even with a new battery
- It won’t charge with a new cable, charger and port
- A new screen was fitted but the display is still black
- No sound, no signal or no Wi-Fi after a drop or liquid
- Another shop said the motherboard must be replaced
- You need the photos and data from a dead phone

How we diagnose a board fault
Board repair is only as good as the diagnosis. These are the steps our technicians follow before any component is replaced.
- 1
Visual inspection
The board is examined under the microscope for corrosion, cracks, lifted pads and burnt components.
- 2
Current measurement
A bench power supply shows how much current the board draws, pointing to shorts or a dead power stage.
- 3
Short location
Thermal imaging or freeze spray reveals the component heating up on a shorted line.
- 4
Circuit measurement
Voltages and resistance on power, charging, display and audio lines narrow the fault to one area.
- 5
Component repair
The failed part is removed and replaced with a hot-air station and fine soldering under the microscope.
- 6
Full testing
Charging, display, touch, audio, cameras, network, Wi-Fi and sensors are tested before handover.

Component repair vs motherboard replacement
Replacing a whole motherboard is expensive, often hard to source, and erases your data. Repairing the failed component costs less in most cases and brings your phone back exactly as it was, photos and all. We recommend a board replacement only when component repair isn’t realistic.

No fix, no fee. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay.
Board-level repair is skilled, careful work, and some faults can’t be brought back. If we can’t repair your board, you pay nothing for the diagnosis or the repair attempt.
How no fix, no fee works- No charge if the fault can’t be repaired
- You approve the price before any work starts
- Applies to drop-off, pickup & drop and onsite repairs
Motherboard repair questions
What is microsoldering?
Microsoldering is the replacement of tiny components on a phone’s circuit board under a microscope, using hot-air and fine soldering tools. It lets us repair the one failed part instead of replacing the whole board.
Is board-level repair better than a new motherboard?
When the fault is one or a few components, yes: it usually costs less, and it keeps your data. A replacement board means starting the phone again from empty.
Can you repair a phone another shop said was dead?
Often. Many “dead” phones have a single shorted or failed component. We diagnose it properly and tell you whether a repair is realistic.
Which brands do you repair at board level?
We work on iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, itel, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo, Vivo and other Android brands. Parts availability can vary for rarer models.
What if the board can’t be repaired?
Then you pay nothing. Our no fix, no fee promise covers board-level work too: no charge for the diagnosis or the repair attempt if we can’t repair the fault.
How long does a board repair take?
Board repairs take longer than screen or battery jobs because diagnosis is careful work. We give you a time estimate after the first inspection.
Do you repair boards for other repair shops?
Contact us through the repair form with the device and fault, and we will tell you whether we can take the job.
