Microsoldering
& Chip-Level Repair
The only shop in Iloilo offering CPU, GPU, and PCH replacement. When other shops say it can't be fixed — we fix it.
What We Offer
Microsoldering is the most advanced repair technique in the industry — it involves replacing tiny chips and components on a circuit board under a microscope using precision soldering equipment. At PCsian in Iloilo City, we are the only shop offering true chip-level repair, including CPU, GPU, and PCH replacement using our BGA rework station. This means we can fix devices that every other shop in Iloilo has rejected. Whether it's a MacBook with no power, a laptop showing display artifacts from a failing GPU, or a phone with a dead charging circuit, our microsoldering expertise gives your device one last chance. Visit our Jaro or Pavia branch for a free consultation — we'll assess whether microsoldering can save your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microsoldering?
Microsoldering is precision soldering work performed under a microscope to replace tiny chips and components on circuit boards. It requires specialized equipment and years of experience.
What's the difference between board-level repair and microsoldering?
Board-level repair is a broad term for any repair on a circuit board. Microsoldering specifically refers to the precision soldering technique used for chip-level work like CPU, GPU, and IC replacement. All microsoldering is board-level repair, but not all board-level repair requires microsoldering.
Can you really replace a CPU or GPU on a laptop?
Yes! While many shops can't do this, we have the equipment and expertise for BGA chip removal and replacement. This includes CPU, GPU, and PCH chips soldered directly to the motherboard.
Is PCsian really the only shop in Iloilo that does this?
Yes. Chip-level repair requires expensive specialized equipment (microscope, hot air rework station, BGA reballing tools) and years of training. We're the only shop in Iloilo with these capabilities.
How long does microsoldering take?
Typically 3-7 days depending on the complexity and parts availability. CPU/GPU replacements require careful work and thorough testing.
My laptop has no display / shows artifacts. Can you fix it?
These are classic GPU failure symptoms. We can diagnose whether it's the GPU chip, VRAM, or display circuitry, and perform the appropriate chip-level repair.
