Repair in Ottawa
OHMX Repair Lab provides appointment-based board-level diagnostics and electronics repair in Ottawa, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Nepean. We inspect, test, and isolate faults at the circuit level before recommending repair — no guessing, no random parts swapping.
Diagnostics
Board-level faults we diagnose
Short Circuit Diagnostics
Shorted rails, abnormal heat, failed components, and protection behavior that requires fault isolation.
Charging Circuit Issues
USB-C, charging ports, power delivery, battery charging, and related board-level faults.
Damaged Pads & Traces
Lifted pads, torn traces, connector damage, and signal/power line reconstruction when repairable.
Previous Repair Attempts
Devices that were opened, partially repaired, damaged, or rejected by another shop.
Liquid Damage & Corrosion
Board contamination, corrosion, residue, short circuits, and repairability assessment after liquid exposure.
Approach
Diagnostics first. Parts second.
Board-level repair starts with understanding the real failure. OHMX uses microscope inspection, measurements, short tracing, power rail checks, and component-level testing when appropriate. The goal is to confirm the fault before recommending repair or replacement.
Repairability
Not every board is worth repairing
Some boards are repairable. Others are not economically or technically worth repairing due to severe corrosion, missing pads, unavailable parts, multilayer board damage, or previous repair attempts. OHMX explains what was found and whether repair makes sense before moving forward.
Devices
Common devices
- Game consoles

FAQ
Common questions
- Do you offer board-level repair in Ottawa?
- Yes. OHMX Repair Lab provides appointment-based board-level diagnostics and electronics repair in Ottawa, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Nepean.
- What does board-level repair mean?
- Board-level repair means diagnosing and repairing faults at the circuit or component level when appropriate, instead of only replacing full assemblies or guessing parts.
- Do you repair no-power devices?
- Yes. OHMX can diagnose no-power faults, short circuits, charging issues, failed components, and related board-level problems.
- Can you fix damaged pads or traces?
- Sometimes. Damaged pad and trace repair depends on the board condition, location of the damage, previous repair attempts, and whether the repair is reliable enough to perform.
- Do you repair devices another shop could not fix?
- Yes. OHMX can inspect devices with previous repair attempts, lifted pads, damaged connectors, corrosion, missing components, or difficult faults. Repair is not guaranteed, but the issue can be evaluated.
- Is board-level repair guaranteed?
- No. Board-level repair depends on the fault, board condition, parts availability, and repairability. OHMX starts with diagnostics before recommending repair.
- How much is board-level diagnostic?
- Advanced board-level diagnostics may start at $85 depending on the device, fault, and condition. Simpler standard diagnostics may start at $45.
- Do you accept walk-ins?
- No. OHMX Repair Lab is appointment-only. Submit a diagnostic request first, and drop-off details are provided after review.
