Electronics lab
Board-level electronics repair
Consumer, automotive and industrial electronics repaired at component level — with a microscope, a soldering station and a schematic, not a parts catalogue.
When a board dies, the usual answer is a replacement board — if one exists, and if it is affordable. Often it is neither. A working lab can find the failed component and put the board back into service.
We also handle the small, awkward jobs that nobody else wants: a watch that needs a battery and a proper reseal, a car key that has stopped waking up, an industrial controller with a burnt supply section.
Assessment first
We look at the board, find out whether the damage is repairable, and tell you the cost before any work is done. Some boards are beyond economic repair, and we say so.

What the bench can actually do
Microscope work
Fine-pitch inspection and microsoldering on damaged pads and tracks.
Hot-air & BGA rework
Reballing and reseating of ball-grid components.
Programming hardware
EEPROM, MCU and JTAG reading, writing and restoration.
Measurement
Bench supplies, meters and scopes to prove the fault rather than assume it.
Batteries
Battery services — not just for cars
Small, quick jobs done properly: watch batteries fitted and resealed, key and remote cells replaced, vehicle batteries tested and charged.

Why ALC
Why a lab, not a parts counter
A real lab, not a bench with a soldering iron
Microscope work, hot-air and BGA rework, programming hardware and proper measurement equipment.
Repairable when replacement isn't
For discontinued or import-only boards, repair is often the only practical route.
Assessment first
We tell you whether the board is economically repairable before work starts.
FAQs
Questions we get asked
Is every board repairable?
No. Severe corrosion, fire damage or missing security data can end a repair. We assess first and tell you honestly.
Can you replace a watch battery?
Yes — watches, car keys, remotes and small devices, as well as vehicle battery testing and charging.
Can you recover data from a dead device?
Often, where the storage itself survived. Bring it in without powering it up repeatedly.
