Electronics repairs

Electronics repairs for industry:

• Your electronics no longer work?
• No documents available?

• No more support from the manufacturer?

• The manufacturer wants to replace the entire control system?

We often hear this from our customers. In the vast majority of cases, we can still offer assistance. Often it is only individual components such as electrolytic capacitors that make a control or a device unusable.

Call us and come by or send us the defective electronic boards!

FAQ

What can be repaired?

• Basically, many things can be repaired. Our experience shows: The older the better. In addition, it is an advantage if all possible documentation and information about the functioning of the circuit board or component is included.

What can you not repair?

• Modern handsets/tablets etc: Due to the high integration density, only component replacement can be done here. We cannot do that. Here you are better off with your mobile phone repair shop.
• Consumer electronics / toys: In principle, we can repair this. However, the repair quickly costs more than a new item. Perhaps you can find a repair café near you at repair-cafe.ch? They usually do it at cost price.
