What is micro soldering and what are the benefits for the end customer.

As computers and other electronics become smaller and smaller, the complexity and repairability of device becomes significantly more difficult. Only a couple years ago, charging ports, storage media, GPUs, and CPUs all used to be modular components in most smartphones and laptops, but nowadays they are now all part of the motherboard. For example, all of Apple’s iPads now require soldering to change the charging port (arguably the most frequently used and abused part on a device), their MacBook now comprises of a single PCB inside (and even worse, uses mostly BGA packages), and the latest MacBook Pros have soldered the SSD to the main logic board instead of leaving it as a removable and modular component (no logic board = no data).

Since parts can no longer be swapped in and out just by turning a few screws, it seems that the only option to repair for many repair shops and consumers alike is to replace the entire motherboard at once. However, this is not an affordable one for consumers whose problem frequently is only one small but crucial function like a charging port.

The good news is that with the correct tools and right knowledge(OZ-ELECTRONICS HAS BOTH), it is possible to repair and refurbish costly motherboards and other problems on logic boards such as ports / connectors / SSD Drives / Ram, etc at the component level. This involves the process of “micro soldering,”..
