about us
where we fit in the industry
Micro Fix with solid industry experience, was established in Pretoria in 2020 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 any other business on price as we believe in a simple equation - cheap does not equal quality. 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 experts will assess every item (circuit board or full electronic device) and provide an estimate for its repair. By being committed to transparency, Micro Fix will provide a client with all the information needed to make an informed decision. Our focus is on repairing electronic equipment. However, we cannot save them all. If it's better to replace it, we will let a client know. If a client opts to proceed with a repair, we'll require full payment to process the accepted work order. If a client declines our proposal, then a fee (if an upfront diagnostic fee was not paid) is applicable before the item can be released.
Every technician here follows our three pillars - process, technique and best practice. We are patient, accurate and careful with every repair undertaken with a client device. There's an inherent commitment to getting it right the first time. If we fail, we respond as quickly as humanly possible in rectifying it. We're passionate about electronics and client satisfaction.
Do not hesitate to bring us your faulty consumer electronic device or general PCB requiring diagnosis/repair or soldering service. OEM or Grade-A manufacturer compatible parts are used in all our work completed here. Give us a try - You Bring It... We Fix It!
Have an electronic device struck by lightning, damaged by power surge or damaged by a fall? We offer an inspection and report service for a household insurance claim for all major insurance companies in RSA
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, we have now added the additional service of being able to diagnose/repair a plethora of electronic equipment which has not been covered before. UPS, control PCB, driver boards (incl. treadmill driver boards), electric fence PCB (incl. energizers), solar charger management PCB (incl. MPPT controllers) as well as printed circuit boards used in industrial and medical applications.
Our main board repair work is where schematics or donor boards can be sourced. That is why the primary 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.
