Hardware Solutions
Saving the 5a 5G.
The Pixel 5a 5G is an excellent device unfortunately plagued by a known manufacturing defect. We are one of the only labs in Seattle equipped to safely perform logic board BSOD micro-soldering, alongside standard 6.34-inch OLED replacements and 4680mAh battery swaps.
BSOD Motherboard Repair
Did your Pixel 5a suddenly go black, but it still vibrates or rings? The 5a suffers from a well-documented hardware flaw where the solder joints beneath the Snapdragon processor fracture due to thermal stress (the Black Screen of Death). We perform advanced micro-soldering CPU reflows to revive your motherboard and save your unbacked-up data.
6.34" OLED Repair
If the display is physically cracked or bleeding ink, we perfectly replace the large 6.34-inch flat OLED panel. Our replacement restores the vivid colors and fits seamlessly into the unibody housing.
4680mAh Battery Swap
Released in 2021, your 5a's battery is likely heavily degraded. If you are experiencing rapid drain, random shutoffs, or physical swelling, we quickly swap the cell for a fresh, OEM-capacity battery.
Camera Bump Glass Fix
The square rear module houses a 12.2MP main and 16MP ultrawide lens. We safely extract and replace just the cracked outer glass covering, protecting your optics from dust and moisture.
Rear Fingerprint Reader
Unlike newer Pixels, the 5a utilizes a fast, rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor. If it stops reading your prints or the internal flex cable tears during a drop, we replace the biometric unit.
Diagnostics & Recovery
Critical Data Recovery.
-
Dead Board Diagnostics
Does your phone vibrate when plugged in but show no image? Or is it completely lifeless? We use USB ammeters to test power draw, definitively identifying if the issue is a dead screen or the dreaded BSOD motherboard failure.
-
Safe Data Extraction
Google's extended warranty for the 5a often involves replacing the entire device—meaning you lose your data. Our micro-soldering team repairs the logic board to restore power so we can safely extract your photos and contacts.
-
USB-C Port Desoldering
If your charge port is loose, physically broken, or won't register cables, we perform intricate micro-soldering to replace the port directly on the daughterboard.
The Pixel 5a BSOD Epidemic
Many repair shops misdiagnose the 5a's Black Screen of Death as a broken screen. If a new screen doesn't fix your phone, it requires logic board work. We are highly experienced in tackling this specific Snapdragon CPU failure.
Water Damage?
The IP67 seals on a 2021 device are heavily degraded. If exposed to water, moisture causes rapid corrosion on the motherboard. Bring it in immediately for ultrasonic cleaning.
