FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Nodefix do?
Nodefix is a board-level electronics repair specialist in The Hague. We repair at the chip level using microsoldering: motherboard diagnostics, replacing micro-components, and data recovery from dead or non-booting devices. We have been active since 2008.
Which devices does Nodefix repair?
We repair iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, Samsung smartphones, iPods, Windows laptops, drones (DJI), and game consoles such as PlayStation. Always at board level — we do not replace screens, batteries, or other standard parts.
What is board-level repair?
Board-level repair means that we repair or replace defective components on the motherboard itself under a microscope using micro-soldering. This is a specialized technique that most repair companies do not offer. With this, devices can be repaired that would otherwise be considered "total loss".
Does Nodefix offer data recovery?
Yes, we offer data recovery for MacBook, iPhone, Android, SSD, and HDD. We can recover data from dead devices, water-damaged devices, and non-booting devices. We work with a no cure, no pay guarantee.
Where is Nodefix located?
Nodefix is located at President Kennedylaan 19, 2517 JK The Hague. We are open Monday through Friday from 09:30 to 17:00. On Saturdays by appointment.
Can I send in my device?
Yes, we offer a drop-off service. You can send your device to us by mail for repair or data recovery. Contact us via info@nodefix.nl or call +31 70 221 1985 for instructions.
Does Nodefix also work for companies?
Yes, we offer B2B services for computer stores and other businesses. We repair defective motherboards that other shops cannot repair. Contact us for collaboration opportunities.
How much does a repair cost at Nodefix?
The costs depend on the defect and the device. We work with a no cure, no pay guarantee: if we cannot repair it, you pay nothing. Contact us for a price indication.
Does Nodefix repair water damage?
Yes, water damage repair is one of our specialties. We clean and repair the motherboard at the chip level to fix short circuits and corrosion damage.
My Samsung phone is stuck on the Samsung logo, can Nodefix save my data?
Yes, if your Samsung phone is stuck on the Samsung logo, this may indicate a software or hardware problem. We diagnose the problem at the board level and can recover your data in many cases, even in emergencies. Contact us immediately for emergency service.
My external hard drive is no longer working, can Nodefix repair this?
Yes, we offer data recovery and PCB repair for external hard drives (HDD and SSD). We diagnose the problem at the board level — from defective TVS diodes to controller chips. No cure, no pay.
My Garmin GPS (boat/marine) is dead, can Nodefix repair this?
We can diagnose the motherboard and repair it at the chip level. Whether your Garmin is a marine GPS, handheld, or automotive device — if it involves an electronic defect, we can examine it. Contact us with details about your model.
Can Nodefix replace an HDMI port on my PlayStation 5?
Yes, HDMI port replacement is a micro-soldering repair, and that is exactly what we do. We remove the defective port and solder a new port onto the motherboard. This is a common repair with us.
My DJI drone has broken arms after a crash, can Nodefix repair this?
Yes, we can replace broken arms and get your drone flight-ready again. Additionally, after a crash, we always check the motherboard for any electronic damage. Contact us immediately if you are in a hurry — we do our best to handle emergency repairs as quickly as possible.
I spilled water on my MacBook Pro, Apple says they can't do anything for my data. Can Nodefix help?
Yes, this is exactly what we specialize in. Apple replaces the entire motherboard by default in the event of water damage, resulting in the loss of your data. We repair the motherboard ourselves at the chip level — we clean away corrosion, diagnose, and replace defective components using micro-soldering. In many cases, we can both save your data and repair your MacBook for a fraction of Apple's cost. No cure, no pay.
My Urban Arrow cargo bike controller is defective, can Nodefix repair this?
We can diagnose the electronic printed circuit board (PCB) of your controller and repair it at the chip level. We do not perform BMS transfers or work on battery PCBs due to safety risks. If the problem involves a defect on the controller PCB, we can investigate it. Please contact us with details about the defect.
We are a bicycle mechanic/cargo bike specialist. Can Nodefix help us repair electronic PCB boards?
Yes, we offer B2B services for companies that are unable to perform board-level repairs themselves. If you regularly encounter defective controllers, displays, or other electronic components, we can repair them at the chip level. Contact us via info@nodefix.nl to discuss collaboration opportunities.
