ECU, PCM, and control module micro-soldering repair

Need a damaged automotive computer repaired without paying dealer module prices? Chip's Tech Repair does board-level soldering on ECUs, PCMs, BCMs, TCMs, and similar control modules when the failed chip is known - or when you can supply the replacement IC.

Honest scope: We specialize in the hard part - precision micro-soldering and chip replacement on the board. We do not run dealer-level module programming, immobilizer pairing, or full vehicle diagnostics in-house. If you (or your shop) already know which chip failed - or can provide the part - we can often repair the module for a fraction of a new OEM unit. Micro-soldering starts at $89+; module jobs are quoted after photos / inspection.

What we repair

  • Engine computers (ECU / ECM)
  • Powertrain control modules (PCM)
  • Body / transmission / ABS and other control modules when board repair is practical
  • Known-failed power ICs, drivers, MOSFETs, voltage regulators, and similar discrete/IC faults
  • Broken pads, ripped traces, and connector-adjacent board damage related to the chip work

We do (the soldering job)

  • Remove and replace the failed chip you identify
  • Install a chip you supply, or help source common ICs when available
  • Clean rework, pad repair, and basic board-level verification of the joint / rails when applicable
  • Mail-in nationwide + SWFL local pickup / drop-off by text

We do not (yet)

  • Dealer OBD flashing, VIN write, or immobilizer / key pairing
  • Full vehicle road diagnostics or "find the mystery fault" without a target
  • Guaranteeing a no-start will be fixed if the root cause is not on the module board
  • Cloning / virginizing modules that only need software with no hardware fault

Best-fit jobs (highest success / value)

  • You already have a known bad IC (part number, photo of board marking, or shop diagnosis)
  • A shop diagnosed water / short damage on a specific area of the module
  • You can mail the bare module (not the whole vehicle)
  • Dealer replacement is hundreds to thousands and the fault is hardware, not programming-only

How it works

  1. Text first with vehicle year/make/model, module type (ECU/PCM/etc.), photos of the board, and the known chip / fault if you have it
  2. We reply with whether it is a soldering candidate and a ballpark or firm path
  3. Mail the module (or arrange SWFL drop-off). Include your name, phone, and a note
  4. We repair only after you approve. If the chip is not on hand, you can supply it or we source when possible
  5. We return the module tracked. Programming / vehicle install is on your end or your local shop

What to send in your text

  • Vehicle year, make, model, engine if known
  • Module label / OEM part numbers on the case
  • Clear photos of both sides of the board (and a close-up of the failed area)
  • Known chip marking / replacement part number if you have one
  • Whether you will supply the IC or need us to try sourcing it

Pricing

Micro-soldering starts at $89+. Automotive module jobs are usually higher once the IC, pad repair, and bench time are scoped - you get a quote before work. No surprise bills. If it is not a hardware/soldering job (software-only), we will say so instead of taking the work.
