Phone chip (IC) repair: cost and process

A chip (IC) is a small component on the phone’s board that handles a specific job: charging, audio, network or touch. In a chip fault, the soldered chip on the board is repaired or replaced, not a separate part. The price depends on the model and the faulty chip.

Key points
  • A chip on the board handles a job such as charging, audio, network or touch.
  • Chip repair is board-level work done under a microscope with soldering.
  • The model, the faulty chip and the board’s overall condition decide the cost.
  • Board-level repairs aim to keep your data; still, back up beforehand.
  • Whether the fault is in a chip is confirmed at the free diagnosis.

01What is a chip (IC)?

The phone’s main board carries chips that each handle a specific job. For example, the charging chip manages battery charging, the audio chip the speaker and microphone, and the baseband chip the mobile connection.

02Which faults need chip repair?

SymptomPossible chip
Will not charge, even after a port replacementCharging chip
Speaker and microphone fail togetherAudio chip
No IMEI, no networkBaseband chip
Touch fails even after a screen replacementTouch chip
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will not turn onWi-Fi chip

These symptoms can come from other parts too, so the port, screen or battery are ruled out first.

03How the repair works

  1. Diagnosis. Measurements on the board find the faulty section.
  2. We tell you the options. Nothing is done without your approval.
  3. Chip repair or replacement. Done under a microscope with soldering.
  4. Testing. The function and overall operation of the phone are tested.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Will a chip repair delete my data?

Board-level repairs aim to keep your data. With storage-related faults the situation may differ; we tell you beforehand.

02

How do you know it is a chip fault?

Faults that remain after a part is replaced can point to a chip. The exact cause is found by measuring the board at the free diagnosis.

03

How long does a chip repair take?

It depends on the fault and the model; we tell you after diagnosis.

04

Does chip repair mean replacing the motherboard?

No. The faulty chip is replaced on its own on the board; the whole board is not replaced.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
