In order to ensure we are the best Laptop Repair Specialist in UK, even the World, we constantly strive to purchased only the best and latest in Laptop Repair Equipment/Products. We understand only the best will do for your laptop / notebook.
All our Engineers, after rigorous testing HAND picked the best Soldering Irons and SMD Rework Stations Manufactured today.
We have made sure all Laptop Engineers have a set of two soldering irons. This is because Intergrated Chips on a Laptop Motherboard come in different sizes. Therefore, rather than changing the tip of the soldering irons when need, we decided that only two common tips are needed and issued all engineers with two soldering irons.
We have also issued each engineer with sets of Solder Wire. Again, different Chips require different thickness of Solderwire. We have also taken into account that all new laptops are lead-free under ROHS, therefore they have been issue the exact same set but lead-free solder as well. Thus making our engineers immediately ready to work on any type of motherboard.
The same principle has been applied to solder Flux, all engineers are issued with 2 different types of flux. One for normal day in day out SMD work and another for BGA Rework, explained below.
In high-temperature soldering, the primary purpose of Flux is to prevent oxidation of the base and filler materials. Tin-lead solder, for example, attaches very well to copper, but poorly to the various oxides of copper, which form quickly at soldering temperatures. Flux is a substance which is nearly inert at room temperature, but which becomes strongly reducing at elevated temperatures, preventing the formation of metal oxides. Secondarily, flux acts as a wetting agent in the soldering process, reducing the surrface tension of the molten solder and causing it to better wet out the parts to be joined.
When it comes to SMD Integrated Chips we need to us a SMD rework station. These Chips then to have multiple contact all around it. Therefore we decided to issue all our engineers with the Best rework station on the Market, which is manufactured by JBC.
Finally, the most difficult repair in market at the moment is BGA chip failure. You would notice it as your laptop turns on an you do not have a display. This is because, VGA Graphics chip are BGA (Ball Grid Array), the Chip has connectors underneath rather than on the side like SMD chips. Therefore, you can not use a Soldering Iron nor a SMD rework Station.
Around 99% of Laptop Repairers do not have a BGA Rework Station in their repair centres. This unit can remove any BGA chip, let it be Southbridge / Northbridge controller and VGA Graphics Chips. With this Rework station we are able to repair laptops where other cannot, all for the same price..
Remember, if you laptop turns with no display or you have ever been told that your on-board graphics chip is, then send the laptop to us.
We fix 80% of BGA failures, with the success rate growing ever more. Do not send your machine with this problem to any repair centre without this equipment, as there is a strong possibility thatthe machine will be tampered with to the point where it will be beyond economical repair.
