Electronics

For electronics, diagnostics and repairs you can book an appointment at The Owl’s Nest. Whether you want to fix a cable, repair a PCB, replace a connector or take measurements on a circuit: we have a compact set of test and soldering equipment that lets you work safely and precisely. You work on your own project, with the option to spar briefly or ask us to take a look when you get stuck.

Some electronics projects require additional measurement or readout equipment that is not set up by default. If you need something specific (for example for diagnostics or logging), let us know in advance and we will set it up appropriately.

Soldering, rework and inspection

For repairs and precision work we have, among other things:

  • Weller soldering stations;
  • a Weller rework station with hot air pencil and a desoldering gun;
  • a trinocular microscope with camera for inspecting solder joints and SMD work.

This supports both basic soldering and PCB rework, such as replacing components, connectors and cables.

Measuring, testing and diagnostics

For measurements and troubleshooting we have test equipment including:

  • a digital oscilloscope;
  • an analogue oscilloscope;
  • a function generator;
  • a frequency analyser;
  • a lab power supply;
  • an electronic load.

With this you can inspect signals, verify power supplies, analyse frequencies and test circuits under load.

Hand tools and specialty bits

In addition to standard hand tools we also have:

  • special screwdrivers and bits for proprietary screw heads;
  • tools for opening and disassembling consumer devices without unnecessary damage.

This is especially helpful for repairs on devices that use “tricky” screws and snap-fit constructions.

How it works and appointments

Electronics work with us is usually by appointment, so we can align on what you want to do and which equipment you need. If possible, bring:
