Expert Desktop Motherboard Repair Services

Yes, desktop motherboards can often be repaired rather than replaced. Common issues like failed capacitors, damaged power circuits, corrupted BIOS, or burnt traces are frequently repairable at the component level. Our technicians perform a thorough $100 diagnosis to determine whether repair is feasible and cost-effective, and we present you with clear options before any work begins.

Motherboard repair costs vary depending on the fault. Component-level repairs—such as replacing capacitors or reflowing solder joints—are generally more affordable than a full replacement. Our diagnosis fee is $100, which in some cases covers the resolution of the issue entirely. After diagnosis, we provide a transparent cost estimate so you can make an informed decision with no surprises.

Common signs of a failing motherboard include the computer failing to power on, random shutdowns or freezes, beeping error codes at startup, failure to detect RAM or other hardware, and burnt smells or visible damage on the board. If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your desktop in or call us for a professional diagnosis before the issue worsens.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of the system. Component-level repairs are cost-effective when the damage is isolated. However, if the board has widespread damage or the system is outdated, replacement may be more practical. Our technicians assess both options and provide an honest recommendation based on your budget and long-term needs.

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the fault and parts availability. Many diagnostic assessments are completed quickly, and straightforward repairs can often be resolved within a few days. We aim for one of the fastest response times in the North Bay Area and will keep you updated throughout the process to minimize disruption to your work or home life.

Yes. All Pro Computer Solutions uses quality components in all hardware repairs, including motherboard replacements. We source compatible replacement boards and parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance. We never cut corners on components, because a repair is only as good as the parts used.

We serve the full North Bay Area, including Sonoma County, Marin County, Mendocino County, San Rafael, Healdsburg, Windsor, Boyes Hot Springs, and the entire Hwy. 101 corridor. We have two convenient locations and also offer emergency on-site service on a case-by-case basis. A travel charge may apply for longer distances.

Your data remains on your storage drives during a motherboard repair, so it is not directly at risk from the repair process itself. However, if a motherboard failure has compromised your drives, we also offer data recovery services. We strongly recommend regular backups to an external drive and a secure cloud service as a precaution before any hardware service.
