Board-level focus

When a part swap is not enough.

I diagnose and repair component faults, damaged pads and traces, HDMI and USB-C connections, liquid damage and no-power faults.

From your door to the bench — and safely back.

A seven-stage mail-in path keeps acceptance, inspection, approval, payment and return separate and clear.

  1. Request

    Tell me what has gone wrong. This is not a booking.

  2. Accepted

    I review it personally and send posting details if it is suitable.

  3. Post

    Pack it securely and send only after acceptance.

  4. Inspect

    I receive, record and inspect the device.

  5. Approve

    You receive and accept a clear written quote and terms.

  6. Repair

    I complete the work, test it and prepare a written record.

  7. Return

    You pay, then I arrange tracked return at exact cost.

Do not post until your request has been accepted.Unsafe or unaccepted devices may be refused or returned at your cost.

You choose the part. You see the proof.

Part condition and source are named in the quote. I record the work, test the repaired function and give you a clear manual summary before return.
