BGA Repairs & Reballing in Wishaw & Across the UK
Advanced Logic Board Repairs for Laptops, PCs & Macs
At Dead or Alive Technology, we specialise in BGA (Ball Grid Array) repairs from our fully equipped repair centre in Wishaw. Serving customers across North Lanarkshire and the UK, we provide expert circuit board rework for a wide range of devices, including laptops, desktops, Macs, and game consoles.
If you’re seeing distorted displays, random shutdowns, or your device won’t power on, the root cause may be a failing BGA chip — such as a GPU, CPU, or chipset soldered to the motherboard. Instead of replacing the entire board, our reballing service restores the connection using precision soldering, saving you time and money.

- Windows laptops (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, etc.)
- Apple MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini (graphics and video IC faults)

What Is Reballing?
Reballing is a specialist repair technique used to fix failed connections under BGA components. The process involves:
Removing the faulty chip from the circuit board
Cleaning old solder and preparing the board
Applying new solder balls (often leaded for reliability)
Reflowing or reattaching the chip with exact alignment
Testing the board for performance and stability
This method restores electrical connectivity between the component and the motherboard, without the need to replace the full logic board.
