What determines the price of motherboard repair?

There is no single definitive answer to the question “How much does motherboard repair cost?”; because the price varies according to the type of fault and the required labor. A reliable price can only be given after the device has been inspected with measurements. Still, knowing the main factors that affect the price will clarify your expectations.

The main factors that affect the price

• Type of fault: A simple power circuit repair and a fault requiring BGA/chip replacement involve different levels of labor.
• Replaced component: The availability and cost of components such as MOSFETs, integrated circuits, and capacitors vary.
• Device model: On some laptop and MacBook motherboards, the access and disassembly labor takes longer.
• Fault detection process: Measurement-focused diagnostics can lower the total cost by preventing unnecessary part replacement.

Why can't a definitive price be given first?

We identify the faulty component not by the trial-and-error part method, but by measuring it with a microscope, thermal camera, and oscilloscope. The “estimated” figures given before the inspection is completed are often misleading. With us, the process is transparent: a clear price is offered after measurement, and no work begins without your approval.

What happens if you don't approve?

If you do not approve the price, your device is returned without any work being done. If, after the fault has been detected and a price given, you prefer not to have the repair carried out, a fault detection fee may be applied for the labor spent; whereas when you approve the repair, no detection fee is charged.
