We have all three. Mobile Bling and Electronics Prime & Repair do not perform micro-soldering — they would send your device to a depot or turn you away. We fix it in-house, same day or next day.

- MacBook liquid damage — from $149
- Charging port micro-soldering — from $79
- Xbox & PlayStation board faults
