Component-level electronics · no-power faults
Electronic Board Repair in Johannesburg — PCB, Logic Board & Microsoldering
Dead PCBs, power-supply boards, laptop motherboards, MacBook logic boards and industrial control boards repaired at component level. We specialise in no-power faults: we trace the short or failed component under the microscope and replace it — often for a fraction of the cost of a new board.
Same-day repairs: book a day or two ahead and we reserve a slot for you. Walk-ins welcome — timing then depends on how busy we are.

Service area
Board repair for Johannesburg and surrounding suburbs
From Johannesburg CBD, Braamfontein and Auckland Park the drive to Jet Park is roughly 20 to 30 minutes via the N12 or N3. Northern-suburb customers from Sandton, Rosebank and Randburg reach us via the R24, and Soweto and the south via the N12.
One workshop serves the whole city, so every device is repaired by the same team with the same equipment — microscopes, hot-air and BGA stations, ultrasonic cleaning for liquid damage and professional data-recovery tools.
Johannesburg is a big city, so the form asks for your suburb. It helps us suggest the best route and time to visit, and for business customers it keeps job cards and invoices organised by branch or office.

Questions & answers
Board repair questions
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most — on the phone, on WhatsApp and through voice search.
What does electronic board repair cost in Johannesburg?
PCB repair R800–R8,000, logic-board and motherboard repair R1,500–R12,000, power-supply boards R900–R5,000, microsoldering R800–R5,000 and industrial PLC/HMI/VFD boards R1,500–R15,000.
Can you repair my device on the same day?
Very often, yes. Book a day or two before your visit — by phone, email or the repair form — and we reserve a same-day slot and have the part ready for you. Walk-ins are always welcome too, but then same-day turnaround depends on how busy the workshop is that day. Either way, we tell you honestly when you can expect your device back.
Which boards do you repair?
Boards with no-power faults: PCBs, laptop motherboards, MacBook logic boards, desktop motherboards, power-supply boards and industrial PLC, HMI, VFD and motor-drive boards.
How much is the board diagnostic?
R350. It is fully deducted from your invoice when you go ahead with the repair.
How long does board repair take?
Simple faults can be done in a few hours. Complex boards take 1–3 days, and logic-board or motherboard repairs 1–14 working days depending on part availability.
Do you repair industrial boards for factories?
Yes, for no-power faults. We issue invoices in your company name and can arrange batch repairs. Many clients are in Germiston, Boksburg, Spartan, Isando and Jet Park.
Can you replace a single chip on a board?
Yes. Precision microsoldering lets us replace individual chips, SMD components and connectors without replacing the whole board.
Dead board?
Send the board type and a photo on WhatsApp — we tell you if it is a job for us before you drive over.
