Hardware Repair & Board-Level Electronics — We Fix What Others Cannot
Board-level soldering, BGA rework, chip replacement, and component-level diagnostics — performed in-house at our 5,100 sq ft facility in Cabool, Missouri.
This Is What Sets Alextricity Apart
Here is the reality of the managed services industry: most MSPs do not repair hardware. When a laptop motherboard fails, they ship it to the manufacturer for warranty service — or they throw it away and sell you a new one. When a school district has 200 Chromebooks with cracked screens and damaged charge ports, most providers shrug and write a purchase order for replacements.
Alextricity Technologies takes a fundamentally different approach. We operate a fully equipped 5,100 square foot repair facility with hot air rework stations, BGA reballing equipment, diagnostic tools, oscilloscopes, and an extensive parts inventory. Our technicians perform board-level repairs that most IT companies cannot even attempt. We replace individual chips, reflow solder joints, swap damaged ports, and bring devices back to full operation at a fraction of the replacement cost.
This is not a side service. This is a core capability that saves our clients tens of thousands of dollars every year — and it is the single biggest reason organizations choose Alextricity over larger, more expensive providers.

The K-12 Advantage
School districts running 1:1 device programs face a brutal math problem. Students damage Chromebooks at predictable rates — cracked screens, broken hinges, crushed charge ports, liquid spills. At $250 to $350 per replacement unit, a district with 1,000 devices can easily spend $50,000 or more per year just replacing damaged hardware. Most of those devices are repairable for a fraction of the replacement cost.
Alextricity operates bulk repair programs for K-12 districts across the region. We maintain parts inventory for the most common Chromebook models — Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer, ASUS — and turn around repairs in days, not weeks. Screen replacements, keyboard swaps, charge port soldering, hinge rebuilds, and board-level repairs all happen in our Cabool facility. Districts send us their damaged devices in bulk, and we return them ready for deployment.
The cost savings are dramatic. A charge port repair that keeps a $300 Chromebook in service costs a fraction of a new unit. Multiply that across hundreds of devices per year, and the savings fund other technology initiatives instead of lining a hardware vendor’s pockets.
Our Facility & Equipment
Our 5,100 square foot facility in Cabool, Missouri is purpose-built for hardware repair at scale. This is not a back room with a soldering iron — it is a professional repair operation equipped with the tools needed to perform board-level electronics work efficiently and reliably.
- Hot air rework stations for precision SMD and BGA component removal and placement
- BGA reballing equipment for chip-level repair on GPU and CPU packages
- Diagnostic and testing equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and power supply testers
- Ultrasonic cleaning systems for liquid damage remediation
- Extensive parts inventory — screens, keyboards, batteries, charge ports, hinges, housings, and board-level components for hundreds of device models
- Component sourcing network through D&H Distributing, TD Synnex, and specialty electronics suppliers
Our CompTIA A+ certified technicians work on hardware every single day. This is not an afterthought added to a software-focused MSP — it is a foundational competency that defines who we are.
Data Recovery
When a hard drive clicks, an SSD disappears from BIOS, or a RAID array degrades, data recovery becomes urgent. Alextricity performs in-house data recovery from failed hard drives, SSDs, USB devices, and server arrays. We diagnose the failure, assess recoverability, and provide a straightforward assessment before any work begins. For cases requiring clean-room recovery, we coordinate with specialized partners — but the majority of recovery scenarios are handled right here in our facility.
