With nearly 30 years of industry experience, our skilled technicians undertake complex component-level rework, helping customers recover valuable assemblies and reduce the need for complete replacement.
Our capabilities include BGA rework, QFN rework, Package-on-Package (PoP) repair and precision component replacement. Using dedicated rework equipment and controlled processes, we support demanding electronic assemblies where accuracy, reliability and component integrity are essential.
Reworking & Refurbishment Services | Active-PCB Solutions
Our PCB rework and refurbishment services support electronic assemblies that require component replacement, design modifications or corrective work following inspection and testing. Whether addressing manufacturing defects, component obsolescence or changes to an existing design, our experienced technicians use specialist equipment and controlled rework processes to support the continued use of valuable electronic assemblies.
Extend the Life of Your Electronics
Our PCB refurbishment services help UK OEMs extend the operational life of existing electronic assemblies, particularly where replacement boards are costly, difficult to source or no longer manufactured. By repairing or replacing faulty components, we can help customers recover valuable assemblies and reduce unnecessary electronic waste.
From individual component replacements to more complex board-level repairs and modifications, our experienced technicians assess each project’s requirements and apply appropriate rework processes to restore functionality while protecting the integrity of the original assembly.
Expertise in Complex Circuit Technologies
With specialised expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, Active-PCB Solutions is equipped to handle complex rework and refurbishment projects, including:
- BGA and QFN Rework: Specialist removal and replacement of Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) components using controlled rework processes. This supports accurate component positioning and solder joint formation on complex PCB assemblies.
- PoP (Package-on-Package) Repair: Precision rework of stacked component packages, where careful thermal management and alignment are essential to protecting components and surrounding circuitry.
- Wide Range of Circuit Types: Our technicians undertake rework on assemblies incorporating surface mount technology (SMT), through-hole components and mixed-technology designs, applying appropriate techniques for each assembly.
Benefits of Reworking and Refurbishment
Choosing refurbishment over replacement offers several advantages, including:
- Cost Savings: Reworking and refurbishing existing PCB assemblies can be more cost-effective than manufacturing replacements, particularly when components are expensive, obsolete or difficult to source. This can help reduce project costs while recovering value from existing assemblies.
- Environmental Benefits: Repairing and refurbishing electronic assemblies can extend product lifecycles and reduce electronic waste, supporting customers’ sustainability objectives and reducing unnecessary replacement.
- Preserving the Original Design: Where technically feasible, our rework processes retain the original PCB design and configuration, allowing refurbished assemblies to be reintegrated into existing equipment without extensive modifications.
