PCB Repair Services

No, we only service equipment that was designed and manufactured by August Electronics. This allows us to ensure compatibility, maintain quality standards, and use OEM-grade components for optimal performance.

If August Electronics manufactured your equipment, we can assess its condition and provide a detailed evaluation. Our repair technicians determine whether a PCB repair service will restore full functionality and whether it is a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing new equipment. If damaged circuit boards can be repaired efficiently, refurbishment is often the best solution to extend the product’s lifecycle.

Yes. As the original manufacturer, we use OEM-grade PCB components to ensure electronic devices meet original design specifications.

Turnaround times depend on the complexity of the repair, replacement components, and parts availability. However, as the original manufacturer, we have direct access to electronic components, circuit boards, and populated PCBs at our facility, significantly reducing lead times.

Simply contact our team with the details, and we’ll guide you through the remanufacturing service process—from initial assessment to final testing. Our experts implement the best solution, whether PCB repair services or full electronic equipment refurbishment.

Yes! We provide preventative maintenance and servicing for the products we manufacture, helping you maximize uptime and performance in the field. Ongoing training keeps our repair technicians up to date on the products they service, ensuring emerging issues are addressed accurately and efficiently.

Since we built your equipment, we have an in-depth understanding of its components, software, and performance requirements. Unlike third-party providers, we use original specifications, OEM components, and precise repair techniques to properly address issues such as broken traces, solder splashes, or physical damage. We also perform rigorous quality testing to verify electrical connections and circuit board reliability before returning your equipment.

Yes! Depending on the equipment and its intended use, we can assess possible upgrades, firmware updates, and component replacements to improve performance and extend the lifecycle.

Our PCB repair services cover a wide range of printed circuit board issues, including trace damage, broken circuits, and faulty components. We also address issues such as excess solder, power surge damage, burnt components, electrostatic discharge damage, and other types of visible damage to restore functionality to the entire circuit board.

Yes! Our in-depth repairs extend to multi-layer boards, including fixing plated through holes, replacing ball grid array (BGA) pads, and repairing damaged edges caused by excessive heat or normal wear.

You should consider repair and refurbishment services when:

• Your product no longer functions properly in the field and requires diagnosis and repair.
• Your end customer has discarded the product due to aging functionality, new legislation, or business decisions, but it still has value with refurbishment, updates, or repackaging.
• You have unsold inventory that requires modifications or batch repairs, such as software upgrades or hardware adjustments, before distribution.
• You’ve identified a failure that is uneconomic to repair, but you need to determine the root cause to improve future product designs.
• You want to provide exceptional customer service by offering aftermarket support, reinforcing your reputation, and keeping electronic devices in service for longer.

August Electronics holds IPC 7711/7721 certification, the IPC standard for rework, modification, and repair of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. Our technicians are trained to IPC workmanship standards, ensuring every PCB repair service meets the same documented quality requirements as the original PCB assembly.

We handle two types of repair requests: warranty and non-warranty. Both warranty types require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number before any product can be accepted.

When a request comes in, the first step is confirming whether the product is under warranty. Standard coverage warrants against workmanship defects to IPC-A-610F class 2 standard for three months from the date of manufacture, though terms can vary by customer. For both types, the unit is inspected, the customer’s problem description is confirmed, and the repair is final tested before return.

The key difference with non-warranty repairs is that if the estimated cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new unit, our team contacts the customer before any work proceeds, so they can make an informed decision on repair versus replacement.

We provide PCB repair and refurbishment services for equipment we originally manufactured across a range of industries, including oil and gas, industrial, power and renewable energy, aerospace and defense, medical, health and wellness, communications and networking, automotive, marine, and agriculture.
