How to get started.

In a hurry? Try our online reverse engineering estimating form for an immediate estimate.

1. In order to provide a quotation for reverse engineering, we will need to evaluate the board in question. Most of the time we can do this with pictures. Please send via email, high resolution images of the front and back close enough to read any component values. Please also include complete contact information so we know with whom we will be working. Please keep attachments under 10 Mb or your email will not be received.

Send to: attention: John Armistead.

2. Please let us know what services you require: Schematic, bill of materials (BOM) and/or Gerber files. If you require the Gerber files then the schematic and BOM are required also.

3. Upon receipt of the images, we will, in most cases, return a quotation for reverse engineering within 3-4 business days. In unusually complex boards, we may need to physically examine the board.

4. If prices for prototypes or production quantities of boards or complete assemblies are required, we make it a policy to provide pricing only after completing the schematic and BOM. That is the only way we can ensure accurate pricing.

5. We do not quote software or firmware reverse engineering. If asked, as part of an order for reverse engineering, we will attempt to download firmware from a PIC or memory IC as long as the subject chip in not fused or the fuse is not blown. We do not usually charge for this service. Downloaded software will be provided in digital form only.
