Common Questions
Advanced Repair FAQ
Micro-soldering is a board-level repair technique that uses specialized equipment to replace or reattach tiny components on a device's logic board or motherboard. It is needed when standard part swaps cannot fix the issue, such as with no-power conditions, short circuits, failed charging ICs, or damaged data lines. Gadget Medics in Boca Raton performs micro-soldering on phones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles. Call (561) 279-6888 for a free diagnostic.
Board-level repair at Gadget Medics in Boca Raton typically ranges from $99 to $350 depending on the device and complexity. iPhone logic board repairs start around $149, while laptop motherboard repairs may range from $199 to $350. Every repair includes a free diagnostic and a warranty, with lifetime coverage available through our free Broken Club membership. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.

Gadget Medics performs advanced board-level repairs on iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, iPads, Android tablets, MacBooks, PC laptops, desktop motherboards, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch consoles. Common advanced repairs include logic board fixes, micro-soldering, HDMI port replacement, data recovery, and water damage restoration. Visit us in Boca Raton or call (561) 279-6888.
Most board-level repairs at Gadget Medics are completed within 1 to 3 business days, depending on complexity and parts availability. Simple micro-soldering jobs like charging IC replacement can be same-day. More complex work such as full logic board restoration after water damage may take 2 to 3 days. We keep you updated throughout the process and never charge without your approval.
In most cases, board-level repair is significantly cheaper than buying a new device. For example, an iPhone logic board repair at Gadget Medics costs $149 to $299 compared to $800 or more for a replacement phone. We follow a 50 percent rule: if the repair cost exceeds half the price of a new device, we honestly recommend replacement. Our free diagnostic gives you a clear answer with no obligation.
Most chain repair shops like uBreakiFix, Batteries Plus, and Best Buy Geek Squad do not perform micro-soldering or board-level repairs in-store. They typically replace entire components or send devices out to third-party labs, which can take weeks and cost more. Gadget Medics in Boca Raton has in-house micro-soldering capabilities with trained technicians, so your device never leaves our shop. Call (561) 279-6888.
