MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Our PCB repair process

Test Failure Identification

All incoming PCBAs undergo an initial screening to confirm failure and follow the Red Tag procedure.

Replacement
Check

If a replacement PCBA is available from inventory, it is swapped in, and the unit is retested.

Scrap or Repair Assessment

If no replacement is available, the PCBA is evaluated. If it is deemed unrepairable or cost-prohibitive, it is scrapped.

Troubleshooting & Rework

Repairable PCBAs undergo troubleshooting, rework, and necessary upgrades to restore full functionality.

Functional Testing

The repaired PCBA is retested to confirm it meets original specifications and operational requirements.

Quality Assurance Inspection

QA thoroughly inspects to ensure compliance with documented procedures and industry standards.

Return to Stock or Shipping

Repaired PCBAs are labeled “reconditioned,” assigned a new part number, and returned to inventory or shipped to the customer.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We provide repair services for printed circuit boards (PCBs), box builds, mechanical assemblies, and other electronic components designed and built by our team.

    No, we only service equipment that was designed and manufactured by August Electronics. This allows us to ensure compatibility, maintain quality standards, and use OEM-grade components for optimal performance.

    If August Electronics manufactured your equipment, we can assess its condition and provide a detailed evaluation. Our repair technicians determine whether a PCB repair service will restore full functionality and offer a cost-effective solution compared to buying new equipment. If damaged circuit boards can be repaired efficiently, refurbishment is often the best solution to extend the product’s lifecycle.

    Yes. As the original manufacturer, we use OEM-grade PCB components to ensure electronic devices meet original design specifications.

    Turnaround times depend on the complexity of the repair, replacement components, and parts availability. However, as the original manufacturer, we have direct access to electronic components, circuit boards, and populated PCBs, significantly reducing lead times.

    Simply contact our team with the details, and we’ll guide you through the remanufacturing service process—from initial assessment to final testing. Our experts implement the best solution, whether PCB repair services or full electronic equipment refurbishment.

    You should consider repair and refurbishment services when:

    • Your product no longer functions properly in the field and requires diagnosis and repair.
    • Your end customer has discarded the product due to aging functionality, new legislation, or business decisions, but it still has value with refurbishment, updates, or repackaging.
    • You have unsold inventory that requires modifications or batch repairs, such as software upgrades or hardware adjustments, before distribution.
    • You’ve identified a failure that is uneconomic to repair, but you need to determine the root cause to improve future product designs.
    • You want to provide exceptional customer service by offering aftermarket support, reinforcing your reputation, and keeping electronic devices in service for longer.
