PCB Repair, Preferably near North East Ohio

[bugsysiegel]

Does anyone do, or know of someone who does, PCB repair in NE Ohio?
Two ASUS ROG M/B's need some work: one needs the battery connector replaced, one needs the charging port replaced.
Some damage on both boards. Not a huge problem if they can't be fixed, but don't really want to drop $700 on a board if I can avoid it.
TIA!

Can ship if needed, just need a reputable tech.

The guy that runs the bad caps forum I believe will refurb motherboards.

If those are laptops, you're wanting a laptop repair person who just happens to do soldering too. Soldering it once it is apart, is trivial compared to the labor of disassembly and reassembly, then testing whether "Some damage on both boards." is a show stopper.

So, I'd search for a laptop repair shop in your area, call them and mention you aren't interested in a new mainboard, only in soldering the things mentioned.

If you're willing to pull it apart and present the bare mainboard, then do your own reassembly and testing, you can probably find someone to solder it at a local tv/radio/etc repair shop, the mom & pop type. That should be the cheapest option.

Sometimes it is not so easy to say XYZ needs replaced and a new one merely needs soldered on, without the person doing the work, having it in hand to see if it is really that simple. It could end up that you ship it to someone and they tell you it is beyond repair then you're stuck with either abandoning it or paying to return ship it. For that reason I would try to get an estimate from a local shop first, then look at shipping it somewhere if the local shop states they can do it but wants too much money.
