Specialist PCB repair, microsoldering, MacBook & laptop repair, liquid damage recovery. Board-level expertise where most repair shops give up.
Most repair shops replace entire boards or send you away. We go deeper — diagnosing and repairing at the component level. Bad capacitor, blown mosfet, shorted power rail, lifted BGA pad — we find it and fix it.
Since around 2017, Apple soldered the SSD directly onto the MacBook logic board. This means if your board fails — from liquid damage, a power surge, a blown component — you can't just pull the drive and recover your data. The storage chip stays with the board.
The same is true for many modern Windows laptops and ultrabooks. Manufacturers solder storage to save space and improve speed — but it removes the traditional fallback of swapping the drive into another machine.
The only way to get your data back is to repair the board. That's exactly what we do — and why board-level repair matters far beyond just getting a device working again.

I started BartTech because I was tired of seeing people get told their devices were unrepairable when they weren't. Most repair shops replace entire boards or send you packing. I go deeper — component level, under the microscope, finding the actual fault.
