What is micro-soldering and when do I need it?

Micro-soldering is board-level repair on tiny components — common for USB-C port failures, no-power issues, and charge IC problems. You need it when a simple part swap will not fix the device, such as a Switch that will not charge or an iPhone with a dead charging port after liquid damage.

How long does a typical repair take?

Most screen and battery repairs are completed same-day or within 1–2 business days once parts are in hand. Mail-in and board-level micro-soldering jobs usually take 3–7 business days depending on diagnostics and parts availability. We keep you updated by text or email.

Do you warranty repairs?

Yes. Eligible repairs are backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own the device, covering the specific parts and labor on your original invoice. See our Lifetime Warranty page for inspection requirements and exclusions.

Do you repair Nintendo Switch charging port and no-power issues?

Yes. We repair Nintendo Switch USB-C charging ports, no-power diagnostics, Joy-Con drift, screen replacement, and battery service. Charging port repair typically starts around $89 depending on the Switch model.

Can I pay with Bitcoin for a repair?

Yes. Instakyle accepts Bitcoin for device repairs. Ask when booking or mention it when you contact us — we will provide payment instructions at checkout.

What is the difference between OEM Genuine Apple and Premium repair parts?

OEM Genuine Apple parts are the same components Apple uses in its own repairs — genuine Apple screens, batteries, and other assemblies sourced through Apple’s supply chain. Premium parts are high-quality aftermarket alternatives that cost less while still delivering strong performance. We show both tiers with transparent pricing so you can choose what fits your budget.
