Motherboard socket repair service AMD/INTEL
B-Hawk Gaming offers a prompt and professional socket replacement service for your motherboards.
The price shown is a non refundable Diagnostic fee of £30+ RETURN POSTAGE OF YOUR DEVICE.
Please do not send your device in without first making a purchase - we will not work on any device that does not have an order number. We receive mutliple devices each week and the order number allows us to ensure a device is correctly matched to the cusotmer and it's repair progress is tracked through our system. If a device arrives with no upfront purchase, that device will remain on the shelf untouched until a purchase for our services has been made.
This will then be followed by a final fee, which is to be settled after we replace the socket and it works as follows:
- Socket replacement successful, board fully working - £60
- Socket replacement unsuccessful, partially working (boots with some errors such as RAM/PCIE) - £30
- Socket replacement fail, board damaged, board not working - £0 (No fee if we fail)
All sockets will be provided with the exception of AM5 sockets, 2066 sockets and 2011 sockets these will cost £20 each, whether the replacement is successful or not.
If the board has other faults and requires repairs, such as traces damaged, connectors replaced and so forth, this will additionally attract our standard repair fee of £50
Once a repair has been completed, the device will not be returned until FULL final payment is received.
Turn Around Times
We try to do this as quickly as possible, but depending on workload, our Standard Service is 4-6 weeks for diagnostics/repairs on top of any additional time for spares orders to come in if necessary. Our Expedited Service is 1-2 weeks for diagnostics/repairs on top of any additional time for spares orders to come in if necessary.

- Add your name to the outside of the parcel so we can identify which items belong to you. If this is on the outside it is easier for us, if it is on the inside, then we could have a delay since we receive multiple parcels on a daily basis and prefer to open a parcel only when we are ready to work on that device.

Disclaimer
Damage to faulty devices:
Some motherboards may have underlying problems that could be made worse by attempting a socket swap, although it is uncommon, there is still a chance it could happen. So a previously working board, may end up not working at all even after the socket has been replaced. We will not be held liable in such an event. Replacing a socket on a board is a delicate procedure. We expect to see the occasional board delaminate, but we do everything we can to try to avoid this, but we can not guarantee that it will not happen. Delamination can cause problems whereby we may be unable to reinstall a socket.Liability:
We accept no liability for damages to items or loss of items that happen because of circumstances outside of our control. This includes break-ins, natural disasters and fires.Shipping Damage / Loss:
We have no control over items that are in the possession of the courier. In the very highly unlikely event that a motherboard does get damaged or lost during shipping, to or from us. We will assist as best we can with compensation claims, but we will ultimately not be held liable for any losses incurred.By purchasing this service, you will be acknowledging that you fully understand and agree to the above statements.
