Dead laptop? No power, no display, a board the manufacturer says is “unrepairable”? We diagnose and repair laptop motherboards down to the individual component — the shorted capacitor, the blown power IC, the cracked BGA — instead of charging you for a whole new board.
UK-wide mail-in · No fix, no fee · Your data stays on your drive · Repaired personally by Sorin, the component-level specialist behind Electronics Repair School
When most repair shops see a faulty motherboard, they do one of two things: quote you for a complete replacement board (often £300–£600 if they can even find one), or tell you the laptop is a write-off because the board is no longer made. Either way you lose — on cost, or on the laptop entirely.
A laptop motherboard isn’t a single part. It’s hundreds of tiny components — power regulators, capacitors, MOSFETs, charging ICs, the CPU and GPU — on one board. When a laptop dies, it’s almost always one of those that has failed, not the whole board.
Component-level repair means we trace the fault to the exact part that failed and replace just that — under a microscope, with proper micro-soldering. It’s usually a fraction of the cost of a new board, it keeps your data and your original machine, and it brings back laptops that are otherwise impossible to source parts for.
If your laptop shows any of these, the fault is on the board — and almost always repairable without replacing it.
No lights, no fan, nothing on the charger. Usually a shorted power rail or a failed charging/power IC — we find the short and replace the part.
Laptop powers on but the screen stays black, or only an external monitor works. Often a GPU, display rail or backlight-circuit fault on the board.
Fans spin but it never boots, or it powers on and off in a loop. A board-level fault in the power sequencing or a corrupted BIOS chip.
Won’t charge, charges only sometimes, or killed a port with a bad cable. We rebuild the charging circuit and replace the charging IC.
Spills cause shorts and corrosion across the board. We clean, find the shorted components and repair — see our liquid damage service.
Graphics artefacts, crashes under load or a dead GPU. We reflow or reball the BGA chip and address the underlying thermal cause, not just the symptom.
A board swap is guesswork with a credit card attached. Real motherboard repair is detective work — and it’s exactly the process Sorin teaches to hundreds of thousands of repair technicians:
Component-level repair isn’t brand-specific — it works at the circuit level, so we repair Windows laptop boards from every manufacturer: HP, Dell, Lenovo & ThinkPad, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Razer, Samsung and Microsoft Surface. From everyday ultrabooks to high-end gaming laptops, if it has a motherboard, we can diagnose it.
Component-level motherboard repair is a rare skill — and it’s the one Sorin is known for worldwide. He runs the Electronics Repair School YouTube channel, where 460,000+ subscribers learn board-level diagnostics, micro-soldering and BGA rework. Your laptop is repaired personally by him, on the same bench you see in those videos — not handed to a junior or shipped to a third party.
Every board is different, so we diagnose first and quote before doing any work — you’ll never get a surprise bill. As a guide: many common faults (power, charging, single shorted component) fall in the £90–£180 range; GPU/BGA reball and multi-fault boards are quoted individually.
No fix, no fee. If we can’t recover your board, you don’t pay for the repair. Typical turnaround is 3–7 working days from arrival, depending on parts.

An exceptional technician with a deep knowledge and understanding of electronics and especially laptops. Probably the best ‘all round’ technician in the UK. Old school, deep electronics understanding. Ohms Law god.
I started following Sorin's channel on YouTube quite a few years ago. I have learned so much from him and there were a few jobs I couldn't handle that I sent to him. In all cases he was able to fix my customer's devices at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended!
Cel mai bun! The Best there is ! Not only fixing but teaching also.
One of the few very skilled laptop repair, that is humble and had a lot of electronic knowledge. I definitely recommend it!
Honest guy. You can trust that he will repair your electronics if they are fixable.
