Learn moreBoard-level micro-soldering — the repair most shops won't attempt
Most repair shops in Charlotte refer board-level faults to a depot or simply refuse the work. Charlotte Tech Repair performs true micro-soldering in-house — under a microscope, replacing individual components rather than condemning the whole board. This is how we fix MacBook liquid damage for $149–$300 when Apple quotes $700+, and how we restore PS5 HDMI ports in under 2 hours.
For NoDa and Plaza Midwood creatives whose entire livelihood depends on their gear, this is the difference between a $200 repair and a $1,500 replacement.
- MacBook liquid damage — individual component replacement
- PS5 HDMI port — micro-soldered in 1–2 hours
- DJ controller USB ports and power circuits
- Drone ESC and gimbal board faults
- iPhone charging IC and power management chips
