Despite the prevalence of repair stores that have opened their doors in recent years, the vast majority of them in Toronto can offer little more than basic component replacements. Swapping a screen part onto a phone may be technically challenging for the average person, but is relatively simple in the grand scheme of electronics repairs.

 

Due to this, many repair shops, especially the larger chain stores which typically need a larger number of technicians to fill their rosters, will turn a phone away or label it "beyond economic repair" if there is a problem with the mainboard. This is especially problematic since in recent years, popular phones like Apple's iPhone, and those from other major brands such as Sony, LG, Samsung, HTC, and Blackberry have all experienced common and well-documented failures on their motherboards.

 

Unfortunately, despite the availability of guides online, most repair shops are not equipped and their technicians not trained to perform these repairs. This is mostly due to the use of microsoldering, which requires expensive equipment, uncommon components, and hundreds of hours of experience to execute flawlessly.

We do everything from the basic repairs such as Power IC, Tristar, Touch IC (touch disease), backlight filter, Audio IC, to the most complex, such as transplanting mainboard-locked FaceID circuitry.
