Some of the  more tedious repairs usually come with the ever growing trend of owning lap tops instead of  Desktop based computers.  Usually, components wears out quickly on those starting with the peripheral ports such as USB,FireWire and Power Plugs/AC Jacks.  Usually what happens in wear and tear is the fact that Ac jacks or other port while cable is in or if jarred will break a solder bead on the motherboard, this will cause a faulty sometimes loose connection that if added a bead of solder and dried properly it will  correct the loose connectivity.

When repairing lap tops  the disassembly is the roughest part, it can have up to 100+ screws all of different types plus many unpluggable components such as fans and keyboards with can take up to 1 hour to take a part just to get to the actual mother board.  Most PC repair companies will shy away from these types of repairs especially if it is only a solder.  They will usually make it worth their while by charging for a whole new motherboard.  (Sometimes this is true the mother board may be  faulty) But, if you repair man does not want to take it a part and immediately charges you for a new motherboard with out looking be weary. Sometimes motherboard replacements can run up to the cost of a new laptop.

Other caveats to be aware of are warranties, if your laptop or computer has a warranty the repairman should advise you that opening the case of the computer will void the warranty unless he is a authorized repair center for that manufacturer.  I usually advise computers with warranties to have them contact the manufacturer to direct them to the next plan of action in repair and replacement.

Overall, soldering repair is a cost saving mean for non-warranty Pc’s and can take time but save you money in the long run.  My soldering service if after inspection shows a loose connector bead is $70 .  If it is not the solder I give the consumer a option to purchase new hardware and apply the $70 to the replacement balance or advise them the laptop would need hardware.
