about us
where we fit in the industry
Micro Fix with more than 25 years of industry experience, was established in Pretoria with one mission: to bring a reliable, high-quality electronics repair service to Gauteng and ROSA (rest of South Africa). However, we do not compete with anyone on price as we're not the cheapest deal. A professional service requires professional rates to be charged - and that is what you find here at Micro Fix!
For an article of a service that was offered in the previous iteration of the business, please navigate to link - we have a pedigree in the local repair industry. Still offer re-balling for select devices...
Our passion for excellence is what inspired us to open this business, and continues to drive us to this day. All our repairs are completed with meticulous detail, resulting in a device that is as good as new. However, please note that more and more manufacturers are practicing planned obsolescence. It's a business strategy that involves intentionally designing products to have a limited lifespan. The goal is to force consumers to buy new products more frequently, which increases the manufacturers profits and negatively affects the independent repair industry worldwide. Micro Fix does its best to source quality replacement parts and offer repair services for electronic products where feasible.
Do not hesitate to bring us your faulty game console, laptop, MacBook, smartphone, tablet, internal power supply or PCB requiring diagnosis/repair or soldering service. OEM or Grade-A manufacturer compatible parts used in all our work completed here. Give us a try - You Bring It... We Fix It!

From time to time, we sell used or refurbished devices too. We will add a page with the electronic devices we have for sale. Look out for it soon...
A common question we get asked is "why do you not repair all PCB's (Printed Circuit Boards)?" Micro Fix focuses on consumer electronics where the main replacement parts are available from the regular part vendors locally and internationally. However, from time to time we can have a look at circuit boards with common blown components (or if the client supplies the correct component) and complete an approved repair for a client. If it's a stand alone PCB, we limit ourselves to it being pre-determined that the cause of the system's power failure is the circuit board itself - we have a high success rate in repairing PCB's with a no power issue.
Our main board repair work is where schematics or donor boards can be sourced. That is why the major focus here is on major brand laptops, phones, tablets and video game consoles. Look at the examples of schematics below (a MacBook and Nintendo Switch):
Depending on the fault, we can isolate the board issue and offer a repair solution most of the time.
