ZoomFones Repairs & Accessories

Advanced Board Repair Sydney

When a phone, tablet or laptop will not power on, will not charge, or has failed after liquid damage, the fault is often on the logic board rather than a swap-out part. ZoomFones offers component-level board repair across our three Sydney stores, including microsoldering, liquid-damage recovery and data recovery from dead devices. Board repair is quoted on inspection, because the fault must be diagnosed before a price is given.

HOW WE DO IT

How board repair works

01

Diagnosis and quote

We bench-test the device, check the power rails and identify the failed component. You receive a quote before any repair work starts, and we will tell you straight if a board repair is not viable or not worth it.

02

Liquid damage recovery

For liquid-damaged devices we ultrasonically clean the board, treat corrosion and replace shorted components. The sooner a liquid-damaged device reaches us, the better the chance of recovery, so do not charge it or try to dry it with heat.

03

Microsoldering and component replacement

Component-level work is done under a microscope by trained technicians. We replace shorted chips, damaged FPC connectors and lifted pads, and repair traces, restoring function without swapping the whole board.

04

Data recovery from dead devices

When a device will not power on but the storage is intact, we can often recover your photos, contacts and files by repairing the board or reading the storage directly. If the data matters most, tell us before any repair is attempted.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

How much does board repair cost?
Board repair is quoted on inspection, because the fault has to be diagnosed before a price can be given. There is no diagnostic fee. We diagnose the fault and quote before any repair work starts, so you decide whether to proceed.
Can you recover my data from a dead phone or laptop?
In many cases, yes. If the storage chip is intact we can recover photos, contacts and files by repairing the board or reading the storage directly. Book a diagnostic and we will assess the realistic chance of recovery before charging ahead.
Is my device worth a board repair?
It depends on the device, the fault and the cost. We will tell you honestly whether a board repair, a part replacement, or replacing the device is the best value. There is no charge for the diagnosis, and we will not push a repair that does not make sense.
How long does board repair take?
Diagnosis usually takes 1 to 2 days, and component-level repair can take a further 1 to 3 days depending on parts availability. We keep you updated throughout and will flag early if a part needs ordering.
My phone died after water damage. Should I try to dry it?
Do not charge it, do not apply heat, and do not put it in rice. Bring it in as soon as possible. Corrosion spreads quickly, and powering a wet board can short components that would otherwise have survived. We clean and treat the board professionally.

Dead device? Do not replace it yet.
