    Our Logic Board Micro-Soldering Process

    1
    Free Visual & Multimeter Diagnostic (30-45 min) — We perform a thorough inspection of the logic board under a microscope, check for visible corrosion, burnt components, and test voltage points to identify the exact fault.
    2
    Ultrasonic Cleaning (For Liquid Damage) — Boards with corrosion go through an ultrasonic bath with specialized solution to remove oxidation and residue.
    3
    Component-Level Diagnosis with Thermal Imaging — Using thermal cameras, we locate shorted components and overheating ICs.
    4
    Micro-Soldering & IC Replacement — Our technicians use hot air rework stations, soldering irons, and BGA reballing tools to replace damaged chips, capacitors, resistors, and MOSFETs.
    5
    Firmware Restoration & Testing — After repair, we flash firmware if needed, reassemble, and run 24-hour stress tests including power cycling, charging, ports, WiFi, and all internal components.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Logic Board Repair

    Q: Is it worth repairing a MacBook logic board?
    A: Absolutely! Replacing a logic board can cost KES 40,000-80,000+. Repairing the existing board costs a fraction of that (KES 6,500-25,000) and often restores full functionality. We also recover your data in the process.

    Q: Can liquid-damaged MacBooks be repaired?
    A: Yes, if addressed quickly. The sooner you bring it in, the higher the success rate. We clean corrosion and replace damaged components. Call 0722256078 immediately after a spill.

    Q: How long does logic board repair take?
    A: Basic IC replacements take 2-3 days. Complex liquid damage repairs take 3-5 days. We'll give you an accurate timeline after diagnostic.

    Q: Will I lose my data during logic board repair?
    A: In most cases, your data remains safe. However, if the SSD/NAND chip is damaged, we can attempt data recovery. We recommend backing up regularly.

    Q: Do you offer a warranty on logic board repairs?
    A: Yes, all logic board repairs come with a 90-day warranty covering the repaired components and workmanship.

    Q: What MacBook models do you repair?
    A: All models — MacBook Air (all years), MacBook Pro 13/15/16 (Intel and M1/M2/M3), and MacBook 12-inch Retina.

    ⚠️ Important: Do NOT attempt these yourself! Never try to bake your logic board in an oven, use a hairdryer, or apply DIY fixes. These methods permanently damage the board. Always trust professional micro-soldering technicians.

    Do's & Don'ts After Logic Board Repair

    ✅ DO's

    • Use a genuine Apple or high-quality charger.
    • Keep your MacBook on a hard, flat surface for ventilation.

    • Use a surge protector power strip.

    ❌ DON'Ts

    • Avoid using cheap, non-certified chargers (they kill charging ICs).
    • Don't eat or drink near your MacBook.
    • Avoid exposing to extreme heat or humidity.
    • Don't ignore unusual fan noise or overheating.
