Signs of a Motherboard Issue

These symptoms often point to a motherboard-level fault that requires specialist repair.

Device Won't Turn On

Completely dead — no response to charging or button presses. Could be a power IC or short circuit on the board.

🔄

Boot Loop / Stuck on Logo

Device restarts repeatedly or freezes on the startup screen — often a NAND or CPU-related issue.

📵

No Signal / No Service

SIM card detected but no network signal — could be a faulty baseband or RF IC on the motherboard.

🔊

No Sound / Audio Issues

Speaker or microphone not working after ruling out component faults — audio IC may need repair.

💧

Water Damage (Board Level)

Corrosion or short circuits on the motherboard caused by liquid exposure — requires ultrasonic cleaning and micro-soldering.

🔥

Overheating / Short Circuit

Device gets extremely hot or drains battery rapidly — a shorted component on the board may be the cause.

🔧

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about motherboard repair.

How long does a motherboard repair take?
It varies depending on the fault. Simple IC replacements typically take around 1 business day, while complex board-level repairs may take 3–7 business days. We'll provide an estimated timeframe after diagnosis.
Is motherboard repair always possible?
Not always — some boards are too severely damaged (e.g. multiple burnt components or cracked PCB traces). We'll always give you an honest assessment. If the repair isn't feasible, we'll let you know upfront and you won't be charged for the repair.
Will I lose my data?
In most cases, motherboard repairs preserve your data since we're repairing the existing board rather than replacing it. However, if the storage chip itself is damaged, data recovery may be needed as a separate service.
Is motherboard repair more expensive than other repairs?
It can be, as it requires specialist equipment and skills. However, it's often significantly cheaper than replacing the entire device. We'll always provide a clear quote so you can make an informed decision.
Can you fix water-damaged motherboards?
Yes — we perform ultrasonic cleaning to remove corrosion, then diagnose and repair any damaged components. Success depends on the extent of the damage, but we have a strong track record with water damage board repairs.
What warranty do I get?
Motherboard repairs include a up to 12-month warranty on the specific component repaired. See our Warranty Terms for details.
