PCB Reverse Engineering (on Boards You Own or Are Authorized to Work On)
When a board's design files are gone — the original engineer left, the company closed, or the data was never kept — the board itself still holds the design. PCB reverse engineering recovers that: we analyze a physical board you own and produce the documentation and design data you're missing.
Ownership and Authorization
We work on hardware you own or are authorized to work on, and we do not copy, replicate or reconstruct third-party products.
What the work can produce
- Schematic / circuit documentation recovered from the board
- Component identification and BOM reconstruction
- Netlist and connectivity mapping
- Analysis of how the circuit works
- A redesign-ready base for fixes, substitution or improvement
Typical reasons
Legacy product supportreproducing a design after the original files were lostassessing a board you acquired and ownpreparing an obsolete product for redesign
Process
- Ownership/authorization confirmed
- You send the board or product
- We analyze and document it
- You review the recovered documentation
- (Optional) redesign and manufacturing transition
Common questions
-
What do you need from me to start?
The board itself (or a good product sample) and confirmation it's yours or you're authorized. Anything else helps but isn't required.
-
Can you recover firmware?
We focus on hardware and documentation. Firmware recovery is a separate matter — ask, and we'll be straight about whether it's feasible.
