  • Identify issues: Common problems include broken traces, damaged pads, burnt components, or soldering faults.
  • Troubleshoot: Diagnose using a multimeter, inspecting components, or checking for visual clues.
  • Repair broken traces: Utilize soldering to add jumper wires or copper tape over damaged areas.
  • Fix damaged pads: Clean the area, apply solder mask, and use conductive ink or wire to repair damaged pads.
  • Replace components: Desolder faulty components and replace them with new ones.
  • Inspection: Carefully examine the repaired PCB to ensure it’s fault-free, using a 3D X-ray if necessary.

Always follow safety precautions, use proper tools, and refer to guides for detailed PCB repair procedures.

Our Innovative Solutions for Complex Circuit Modifications

Advanced PCB circuit modification

Precision Circuit Alteration Beneath BGA

Modifying circuit paths at BGA locations requires advanced expertise in precision engineering. This process involves specialized milling tools and meticulous execution, ensuring accurate adjustments. Our team integrates radiographic inspection, high-precision PCB milling, and careful component placement—such as pads, traces, and jumpers—to achieve flawless rework. The outcome is determined by the technician’s skill and attention to detail, ensuring reliable performance.

Expert PCB wire integration

Wire Placement for Compact PCB Designs

Integrating multiple jumper wires on a compact PCB requires precision and efficiency. Our team successfully implemented six wires on a high-density board, completing 100 units within a single day. This rapid turnaround helped maintain our customer’s New Product Introduction (NPI) timeline, ensuring no delays in their development cycle. By optimizing wire placement and execution, we deliver reliable modifications tailored to demanding project requirements.

High-stakes PCB modification

Critical Rework—Rescuing an Engineering Team

Facing an urgent trade show deadline, our client’s engineering team needed an immediate solution. Without time for a PCB redesign, we provided a critical intervention by integrating 26 jumper wires across both sides of a miniature PCB. This strategic rework enabled a functional prototype, securing their presentation and preserving their team’s position. Our expertise in high-stakes circuit modifications ensures mission-critical projects stay on track, even under extreme time constraints.

Accredited Service Center: We operate a fully accredited warranty and repair service center, equipped with an RMA tracking system to monitor the status of each repair and fix. This system provides customers with the reassurance that repairs will be handled promptly, significantly reducing costs associated with idle inventory and enhancing satisfaction for their end customers.
