MICRO-SOLDERING & BOARD-LEVEL REPAIR

Precision at
component level.

DX Repair provides microscope-assisted SMD and SMT work, component replacement and board-level fault investigation for radio and electronics repairs.

A failed component does not always require a complete board. The repair begins by understanding the circuit, the symptom and any damage or previous work.

WHAT WE DO

Board-level work for the actual fault

Send the equipment model, symptoms, previous repair history and the component or area believed to be involved.

01

Component replacement

Fine-pitch and surface-mount parts replaced when the board and repair remain serviceable.

02

PCB damage

Pads, traces, connections and localized board damage evaluated under magnification.

03

Fault investigation

Circuit-level testing used to identify the cause rather than replacing visible parts at random.

THE DX REPAIR APPROACH

Repair is more than soldering

Good board-level work combines inspection, circuit understanding, temperature control and verification after the physical repair.

Microscope inspection

Small defects and prior workmanship can be assessed before the repair plan is set.

Controlled rework

Appropriate soldering, hot-air, tweezer and desoldering tools are selected for the assembly.

Functional testing

The equipment is checked against the original symptom after the board work is complete.

A CLEAR PATH

What to send with a board-level inquiry

01

Identify the equipment

Provide the manufacturer, model and board designation if known.

02

Describe the symptom

Explain what works, what does not and when the problem occurs.

03

Document prior work

Include attempted repairs, replaced parts and any known damage.

04

Wait for review

Repairability and the next step are assessed before shipping is arranged.

Prior non-professional work, extensive board damage or unavailable components can make a repair impractical. Review is required before acceptance.

GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

Before you send it.

Is micro-soldering only for radios?

No. DX Repair evaluates board-level radio and electronics work, subject to the equipment, fault and parts availability.

Can you repair lifted pads or traces?

Some localized PCB damage can be repaired, but the board must be reviewed because the extent and electrical requirements vary.

Should I remove the board before sending it?

Do not disassemble equipment unless requested. The complete assembly may be needed for diagnosis and testing.

Show us what needs attention.

Include the model, symptom, board area and any previous work.
