About Sagebrush Repair

If your question isn't covered, send me a message!

  • Most mod or repair jobs are quoted on my website.  
  • Jobs not quoted are generally billed at $75/hour.  Most unquoted jobs take one or two billed hours.
  • Parts if needed, are subject to insane price fluctuations in 2025-2026; due to this, estimates including parts quotes are "ephemeral"


  • Mods are usually done the same day or next day. You are welcome to pester about a mod in-progress. 
  • Repairs take just a bit longer. Some newer devices sometimes take days or weeks when parts are uncommon. 
  • Most "older" devices have available parts, and I stock many common ones.


I will assist you for free over the phone, email, chat, or video call. Please don't keep me for too long.


  • Estimated prices are listed alongside common repairs I do.  Estimates are subject to change. 
  • I can generally ballpark most repairs.
  • I do charge $75 for "diagnostic only" jobs.


 Almost all of it:

  • Consumer Gaming Devices and Computers are our specialty.


Also:  

  • Bluetooth speakers, grow lights, VR hardware, RC cars
  • Crypto wallets, blown mining GPUs, car key fobs, PCB prototypes
  • Cameras (some jobs), toys, garage door openers, cordless power tools
  • More. A surprising number of battery operated things can be repaired
  • I married a blacksmith who can fix metal


But:

  • No Enterprise hardware (GPUs OK for now)
  • No Apple Inc. mobile or AIO devices: No iPhone, iPad, iMac, AirPod.
  • MacBook OK for now.
  • No Meta Platforms Inc. devices*
  • No Amazon Inc. devices*

Probably.  I've seen pretty much everything that can go wrong with electronics.  


Spills, cracked boards, fire, cat pee, milk curdling for a week, chicken soup, run over, fell off roof of car, in lake, UPS shipped it, nephew gets a virus trying to cheat at roblox... etc



Probably.  Electronics are pretty much all the same.  The concepts seldom change, only the components and application.



 Some facts:

 

  • Sagebrush Repair is a solo repair shop in the Bay Area. It's owned and run by me, Jon.
  • I specialize in the hard jobs: I DO take jobs from other shops and I DO take water damaged devices.  I will also do simple jobs like cracked screens, virus removal, or power jack repair
  • I have very good microsoldering skills. 16+ years in repair focused on practical electronic repairs on circuit boards with one or many faults. 
  • Mail-in is popular for all of the reasons above
  • I can look at and understand schematics, so I can assist with prototyping or deciphering a circuit. 
  • I am not an Electrical Engineer and can not talk about inductance. I can replace the inductor though.
  • I don't work on mains supply stuff, that's for a better repairman.


And then opinions: 


  • I'm better than many YouTube techs, and certainly better than your local three star review⭐⭐⭐ shop.
  • I am humble and not used to bragging like that
  • I may be too transparent if you message me. I know a lot about these things and love theorizing faults, don't be scared away!


Check out my "blog" thing for other insights into my shop.



Kira.  She's smitten with me, and loves giving nose rubs.  I've never had a cat so in love with me, she often sits near me when I'm working.


Her brothers can sometimes get a spot but she's the queen.
