Any shops that repair damaged PCB's? (In europe?)

Post by loempiavreter »

My Big fight pcb arrived a bit damaged:

Sound seems to be not working anymore at all now (used to work) and it resets itself quite alot. Sometimes the board doesn't work at all, then I play around with those bend caps a bit and then it works.

So I want to send to a shop or someone who can professionaly repair it. (I think it has something to do with the caps, there's one that seems disconnected as well).

There seem to be a few like:
http://www.eldoradogames.com/
http://www.myarcaderepair.com/

And there's always Mak Japan, but hard to communicate.

Anyone know any service in europe? Or recommend me a service (which you had good experience with)?

Thanks!

If you don't want to investigate and maybe fix it yourself, there's always ArcadiaBay in Germany: http://www.arcadiabay.de/reparaturen.aspx

From what I've heard they do a good job, but they're quite expensive (24€ fixed repair fee + 48€/hour spent on the board + plus 2 way shipping). You're looking into a 100€+ bill.

But honestly replacing caps is probably the easiest repair job, even if you're not very experienced.

Have you asked on ArcadeOtaku? It's mainly a European community and there are a few people with great skills that could maybe help you out.

You should post which country you're in, there are several people in Europe who fix games.
