Motherboard repair in Rotterdam: when a new part is not enough

Your phone does not switch on, restarts constantly, does not charge with a new port, has no signal or shows a black screen after water damage. Then the problem is often on the motherboard (logic board). At GSM Dokter in Rotterdam we repair motherboards of iPhones, Samsung phones, iPads and laptops at component level, so you keep your photos, contacts and files. Many other shops would tell you to buy a new device. We first check whether it can be repaired, and that check is free.

Motherboard problems we repair

  • No power, no image, no reaction to the charger.
  • Boot loop: stuck on the logo or restarting.
  • Water or liquid damage (bring it in as soon as possible, do not charge it).
  • No signal, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, no sound.
  • Charging problems that a new charging port did not solve.
  • Data recovery from a device that no longer starts.

Price

Motherboard repairs are quoted after the free diagnosis, because the price depends on the fault. You only pay if the repair succeeds and you always hear the price first. Diagnosis usually takes one to three days.

Frequently asked questions

Can my data be saved?

In most cases, yes. A motherboard repair keeps the storage chip intact, so your photos, contacts and files stay on the device. If a full repair is not possible, we can often still recover the data.

What does a motherboard repair cost?

That depends on the fault. You get a fixed quote after the free diagnosis and you decide. No repair, no costs.

How long does it take?

Diagnosis takes one to three days. The repair itself usually one to five days, depending on the fault and parts.

My phone fell in water. What should I do?

Switch it off, do not charge it and do not put it in rice. Bring it to us as soon as possible. The sooner we clean the board, the higher the chance of a full repair.

Do you repair laptop motherboards too?

Yes, including MacBook logic boards, charging circuits and power issues on Windows laptops.
