Stereo microscope
Every board-level repair happens under magnification. The components that fail on a modern board are smaller than the tip of a pen, at 1× they simply cannot be judged.
Electronics repair · Zahlé, Lebanon
We fix what everyone else tells you to replace
TCM is a board-level electronics repair lab in Zahlé. Televisions, audio gear, consoles, inverters and tools are traced to the exact failed component and repaired, not swapped, not written off. Phones and laptops are the one thing we do not touch: this is an electronics bench, not an IT shop.

What comes to the bench
If it has a circuit board, it is worth asking about. These are the repairs that come through the lab most often.
Board-level repair & microsoldering
Work at the component level, under the microscope, not part-swapping.

Board-level repair is not something you can do with a spudger and a hope. Every one of these is on the bench because a specific class of fault cannot be found or fixed without it.
Bench power supply
A board is fed a controlled current before anything else. What it draws, nothing, a trickle, or a dead short, narrows the fault down before a single component is touched.
Thermal camera
A shorted component heats up before it shows any other sign. The thermal camera points straight at it, which turns hours of probing into a few minutes.
Hot air & soldering station
Temperature-controlled hot air and fine-tip irons lift and reseat chips without cooking the board around them.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Liquid-damaged boards are cleaned in an ultrasonic bath first. Corrosion hides under chips and shields, and it keeps eating the board until it is removed.
Schematics & boardviews
Guesswork is expensive. Working from the manufacturer schematic means following the actual circuit to the actual failure instead of replacing parts hopefully.
Tools, tested on the bench
Alongside the repairs, TCM tests and reviews tools and equipment on TikTok, judged by someone who has to fix them when they fail.
How a repair actually goes
Four steps, no surprises, and a price before anything is opened up for real.
Tell us what happened
Message TCM on TikTok with the device, the fault and, if you can, a short video of what it does. Most problems can be narrowed down before the device even arrives.
Diagnosis on the bench
The device is opened, inspected under the microscope and measured. The goal is the cause, not the symptom: a television with no picture and a television with a failed backlight driver are two different repairs.
You get the verdict and the price
You are told what failed, what it takes to fix it and what it costs, before any work starts. If a repair is not worth it, you hear that too.
The repair, then the testing
The fix is carried out, then the device is put back under load and run properly before it goes home with you. A repair that only holds up on the bench is not a finished repair.
Why people drive to Zahlé for this
The fault gets found, not guessed
A schematic, a bench supply and a thermal camera beat swapping parts until something works. It is faster, it is cheaper, and it is why devices declared dead elsewhere leave here working.
Equipment nobody sells parts for any more
Board-level repair does not need the manufacturer to still supply a replacement board. The components on it are standard parts that are still made, which is why equipment well past its support life often leaves here working.
Nothing happens before you agree
Diagnosis, then the verdict, then the price, then your decision. No work starts on a device and no cost appears that you did not approve.
We know this equipment from both sides
The same kinds of tool that come in for repair get tested and reviewed on the TCM TikTok. Having already taken a hundred of something apart tells you where it fails long before it lands on the bench.
Questions people ask before they come in
What is TCM?
TCM is an electronics repair lab in Zahlé, Lebanon. It carries out board-level repair and microsoldering on televisions, audio equipment, home electronics, game consoles, power and inverter systems, and tools and instruments. TCM is also known on TikTok (@tcm.lb) for testing and reviewing tools and equipment.
How do I contact TCM?
The fastest way to reach TCM is a direct message on TikTok at @tcm.lb. Send a short description of the fault and a photo or video of the device, and you will get an answer there.
Where is TCM located?
TCM is based in Zahlé, in Lebanon's Beqaa Governorate. It serves Zahlé and the wider Beqaa Valley, and takes on work from across Lebanon.
What does TCM repair?
TCM repairs televisions, amplifiers, speakers and audio gear, home appliance control boards, satellite receivers, game consoles, UPS and inverter systems, chargers and power supplies, power tools, battery packs, and measuring and workshop equipment. The work is done at board level: individual failed components are replaced on the circuit board rather than the board being swapped out.
Does TCM repair phones or laptops?
No. TCM is an electronics repair lab, not an IT or computer shop. Phones, tablets and laptops are the one category not handled here. Everything else electronic is, from televisions and audio equipment to consoles, inverters and power tools.
My device was declared unrepairable by another shop. Can TCM still help?
Often, yes. A device is usually called unrepairable because the shop replaces boards rather than repairing them, and for older equipment a replacement board may no longer be sold at all. TCM diagnoses at component level, so faults like a shorted supply rail, a burnt driver IC or a lifted trace are repairable here even when a board swap was the only option elsewhere. A second opinion costs you nothing but the message.
Got something broken?
Send a message on TikTok with the device, what happened to it, and a short video if you can. You will get a real answer from the person who would do the repair.
