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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
