Microsoldering Services Canberra - Expert Electronics Soldering Repair
Precision Micro Soldering Repair for Your Electronics
Seki Gadgets provides professional microsoldering and electronics soldering services at our Franklin workshop in Canberra. From charging port replacements and PCB trace reconstruction to component-level board repair, we handle micro soldering projects that most repair shops can’t. Repairs start from $50, with each project quoted individually based on complexity and time involved. Most micro soldering repairs are typically completed within 2-5 days, subject to workload and project complexity. We back qualifying repairs with our workmanship warranty and accept mail-in jobs from anywhere in Australia.
Whether you’re dealing with a broken connector, damaged circuit board traces, or a failed component on any electronic device, our certified technicians use precision equipment and professional-grade solder alloys to restore reliable connections at the microscopic level.
Specialist Precision You Can Trust
Microsoldering Expertise
Not every repair shop can work under a microscope. Our technicians specialise in component-level micro soldering, working with parts smaller than a grain of rice on densely packed circuit boards. From BGA rework and IC chip replacement to PCB trace reconstruction, we restore connections that most shops would write off as unrepairable.
Precision Equipment
Precision micro soldering demands precision tools. We use temperature-controlled soldering stations, hot air rework systems, stereo microscopes, and diagnostic equipment from industry-leading manufacturers. Professional-grade equipment means cleaner solder joints, less thermal damage to surrounding components, and more reliable long-lasting repairs.
Workmanship Warranty
We stand behind every solder joint. All micro soldering repairs at Seki Gadgets include our workmanship warranty covering the quality of the soldering work performed. If a connection we made fails under normal use during the warranty period, we investigate and make it right at no additional cost. Your confidence in our work matters as much as the repair itself.
Sustainable Choices
Repairing a single component or connection can save an entire device from landfill. Micro soldering is one of the most sustainable repair methods available, restoring functionality without replacing whole boards or assemblies. Every repair we complete is one less device added to Australia's growing e-waste problem.
Certified Technicians
Our technicians bring years of hands-on experience across consumer electronics, gaming consoles, and specialist circuit board work. Trained in advanced microsoldering techniques, BGA rework, and PCB diagnostics, they combine technical knowledge with the precision and patience that component-level repair demands.
Transparent Quoting
Every micro soldering project is different, so we quote each job individually after assessing your device. You receive a clear breakdown of what's needed, what it costs, and how long it will take before any work begins. We only proceed once you approve the quote, and there is never an obligation to go ahead. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure.
What We Can Repair

Microsoldering FAQ
Frequently Asked Micro Soldering Questions
What is micro soldering?
Microsoldering is a specialised form of soldering that works with extremely small components on printed circuit boards, often smaller than a grain of rice. At Seki Gadgets in Canberra, we use trinocular microscopes, temperature-controlled soldering stations, and BGA rework stations to repair, replace, or reconnect these tiny components. It’s used for everything from charging port replacements on phones to PCB trace reconstruction on vintage electronics.
What's the difference between soldering and micro soldering?
Soldering is the general process of joining electronic components using melted metal alloy. Microsoldering works with much smaller components using microscopes and precision equipment. At Seki Gadgets in Canberra, we perform both. Standard soldering suits larger connections like wire repairs and battery terminals, while microsoldering is essential for modern smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles where components are incredibly small and densely packed.
How much does micro soldering cost in Canberra?
Micro soldering repairs at Seki Gadgets in Canberra start from $50, with each project quoted individually based on complexity and time involved. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your device, and you’re under no obligation to proceed.
Do I need to disassemble my device before sending it in?
Seki Gadgets in Canberra performs microsoldering repairs, but the service scope covers the soldering work itself. Devices should be sent fully disassembled and any replacement components must be supplied by you. If you need us to handle disassembly or reassembly, let us know when requesting your quote and we’ll include those costs separately.
How long does micro soldering take?
Most micro soldering repairs at Seki Gadgets in Canberra are typically completed within 2-5 days, subject to workload and project complexity. More extensive trace repair or multi-component work may take longer. We provide an accurate timeframe after assessing your device and confirm before beginning any work.
What warranty do you offer on microsoldering repairs?
Seki Gadgets in Canberra provides a workmanship warranty on all micro soldering repairs. The warranty covers the quality of the soldering work performed. It does not cover subsequent physical damage, liquid exposure, or unrelated faults.
Do you offer mail-in micro soldering services?
Yes, Seki Gadgets in Canberra accepts mail-in micro soldering jobs from anywhere in Australia. Whether you’re in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or regional areas, you can send your device to us via Australia Post. We assess, quote, complete the work with your approval, and return your device with full tracking and our standard warranty coverage.
Can you repair a device that another shop couldn't?
We regularly take on micro soldering projects at Seki Gadgets in Canberra that other repair shops have declined. Our precision equipment and specialist training allow us to work at the component level where most shops cannot. Contact us with details and photos of your project and we’ll let you know if we can help.
What types of electronics can you micro solder?
Seki Gadgets in Canberra provides micro soldering services for a wide range of electronics. We work on smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, headphones, car key fobs, gate and garage remotes, gaming controllers, RC vehicles, vintage electronics, and more. If it has a circuit board and a soldered connection, we can likely help. Contact us with details about your project for a free quote.
What should I include when requesting a quote?
When contacting Seki Gadgets in Canberra for a micro soldering quote, include a description of your device and the issue or repair needed. We may request photos during the quoting process via a secure image hosting link. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quote will be. We respond to all enquiries with a clear breakdown of what’s involved before you commit to anything.
Can I attempt the repair myself first and bring it to you if it fails?
We welcome DIY enthusiasts at Seki Gadgets in Canberra and there’s no judgement if your project didn’t go as planned. Keep in mind that previous repair attempts can sometimes make the job more complex, which may affect the final quote. If you’re unsure about a repair, we recommend contacting us for a quote before attempting it yourself.
Do you replace batteries in game cartridges like Pokemon Emerald?
Yes, Seki Gadgets in Canberra specialises in game cartridge battery replacement for Pokemon Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and other Game Boy Advance titles that rely on internal batteries to maintain save data. This is precision microsoldering work where we desolder the original tabbed battery and solder in a fresh replacement, preserving your game progress and save files. Unlike simple drop-in battery mods that typically last 3-5 years, our soldered replacements provide reliable performance for 10+ years. The service costs $45 per cartridge including the battery and comes with a 1-year warranty. We complete most game cartridge battery replacements same-day at our Franklin workshop in Canberra, and we accept mail-in cartridges from anywhere in Australia.
Can you repair ASUS gaming devices like the Ally X or ROG laptops?
Yes, Seki Gadgets in Canberra repairs ASUS gaming devices including the ROG Ally X handheld, ROG Z13 Flow tablet, and ROG gaming laptops. Our microsoldering services cover battery connector repairs, charging port replacements, and other board-level repairs common in high-performance ASUS gaming hardware. Pricing typically ranges from $200 to $350 depending on the extent of motherboard damage. Our standard microsoldering terms require the motherboard to be delivered board-only, whether in-person or via mail-in. We offer a disassembly and reassembly service for $85 if required. Seki Gadgets services customers across Australia through our mail-in repair programme, with same-day diagnostics available for local Canberra customers who visit our Franklin workshop. All ASUS gaming device repairs include our workmanship warranty.
