Precise PCB restoration and modernization without original documentation — legal and efficient.

Reverse Engineering of Obsolete PCBs: From Analysis to Full Reconstruction

When documentation is lost and your PCB is obsolete, restoring equipment functionality is a challenge. We provide precise, legal reverse engineering and functional replication services to bring reliability and relevance back to your systems—without compromise.

What Brings You Here?

Are you struggling with outdated or undocumented electronic boards? You’re not alone. Most of our clients come to us when conventional solutions fail — and that’s exactly where reverse engineering becomes essential.

Common Scenarios We Solve:

You have an obsolete PCB with no schematics or documentation.

We specialize in legacy PCB reverse engineering, even when no original data is available. Through imaging, layer analysis, and netlist reconstruction, we bring your hardware back to life.

Your equipment has failed — and spare parts are unavailable.

Need urgent restoration of equipment functionality? Our rapid diagnostic and prototyping processes minimize downtime and deliver reliable results fast.

You’re facing production halts due to obsolete components.

We identify, replace, and validate modern alternatives for outdated components, ensuring your systems remain operational and future-ready.

You need accurate PCB duplication or functional cloning.

Whether for maintenance, backup, or scale-up, we offer precise PCB cloning services — complete with electrical validation, testing, and documentation.

You require testing or verification of a restored board.

Functional testing, continuity checks, and simulation are included in our reverse engineering process to guarantee performance and safety.

If any of this sounds familiar…

You’re in the right place.

We don’t just analyze — we rebuild. We don’t guess — we measure, model, and test.

Let us turn your legacy hardware into a documented, validated, and scalable solution — legally and efficiently.

Precision Engineering for Legacy PCB Restoration & Duplication

We provide comprehensive reverse engineering services for obsolete, undocumented, or legacy PCBs — combining accuracy, speed, and legal compliance. Whether you need to revive a failed board, scale production, or extend product lifecycle, our team delivers tailor-made technical solutions that work.

What We Do

Physical and Electrical Analysis of Legacy PCBs

We start with detailed visual inspection, high-resolution imaging, and multi-layer physical dissection (if needed). Advanced electrical probing helps map connectivity, nets, and signal flow — even in complex multilayer stackups.

Schematic Extraction & Board Structure Reconstruction

We rebuild the schematic diagram and netlist from scratch, using imaging, X-ray, continuity tracing, and CAD-assisted layout recreation. Even if your board has no prior documentation, we can recreate the logic.

PCB Cloning and Technical Duplication

Need an exact replica? We provide 1:1 functional PCB cloning, respecting signal integrity, routing strategies, and stackup configurations. Ideal for backup, replacement, or transitioning to modern production.

Component Replacement with Modern Equivalents

Facing obsolete or discontinued parts? We find drop-in replacements or redesign the circuit to work with updated components — with electrical validation and footprint adaptation.

Documentation and Specification Generation

We generate full technical documentation, including schematics, Gerber files, BoM (Bill of Materials), netlists, assembly drawings, and 3D models — ready for review, certification, or manufacturing.

Testing & Functional Verification

Before delivery, every reconstructed or cloned board undergoes multi-stage testing: continuity, power-on checks, signal integrity verification, and functional validation — ensuring operational accuracy.

Step-by-Step Process for Accurate PCB Reproduction

We follow a precise, transparent engineering workflow that ensures every legacy PCB is faithfully reconstructed and ready for documentation, testing, or production. This methodical approach minimizes risk, guarantees accuracy, and provides full traceability at every stage.

  1. Initial Inspection and Diagnostics

    We begin with a structured assessment of the board’s physical and electrical condition, identifying visible damage, missing elements, or signs of previous repairs. This phase helps define the technical roadmap and risk factors.

  2. Physical Data Collection and High-Resolution Imaging

    Each board is meticulously photographed and scanned using high-resolution equipment. Dimensional data, markings, and trace geometry are captured for further analysis and reproduction accuracy.

  3. Multi-Layer Structure Analysis and Component Identification

    We analyze the board’s internal stackup (including microvias, buried vias, and signal layers) and identify each component using part numbers, datasheets, and measurement techniques. This step enables accurate netlist reconstruction and BOM generation.

  4. Schematic Reconstruction and Netlist Creation

    Using physical data and electrical continuity testing, we recreate the full schematic logic and generate a detailed netlist. This step is critical to understanding circuit behavior and ensuring functional equivalence.

  5. Electrical Testing and Continuity Verification

    We verify every trace, pad, and via against the generated netlist using multistage probing and continuity mapping. This confirms the accuracy of signal paths and connectivity.

  6. Functional Verification and Simulation (as applicable)

    Where relevant, we simulate the reconstructed circuit to validate functionality and catch potential errors before prototyping. This step is especially important for active or programmable components.

  7. Technical Documentation Preparation

    We prepare a complete technical package, including schematic files, layout drafts, BoM, netlist, layer stackup, and additional manufacturing documentation — ready for internal archiving or external use.

  8. Consultation and Post-Project Engineering Support

    After delivery, we provide ongoing technical support, including documentation review, component sourcing advice, and adaptation guidance for redesign or production scale-up.

What Sets Us Apart in Legacy PCB Reverse Engineering

Not all reverse engineering services are created equal. When outdated boards seem unrepairable, we provide not just a workaround — but a replicable, validated, and future-proof solution backed by deep engineering expertise and legal clarity.

Proven Expertise and Deep Specialization

With over 15 years of hands-on experience, our team has reverse engineered hundreds of complex PCBs — from aerospace-grade multilayer boards to industrial control units and proprietary embedded systems. We don’t guess. We know.

Dual-Mode Analysis: Non-Destructive & Destructive

Depending on your needs and the board’s condition, we apply the most suitable methodology. Optical imaging, X-ray, delayering, or precision milling — each technique is selected to maximize information and minimize risk.

Schematic Recovery Without Source Files

Even if there are no CAD files, datasheets, or previous documentation, we rebuild the logic from scratch. Through continuity mapping, netlist reconstruction, and functional tracing, we recreate full schematics that reflect the original design intent.

Functional Reproduction with Engineering-Grade Accuracy

We don’t stop at “visual” duplication. Each board we deliver is tested for functional equivalence — ensuring that the system behaves as expected under real-world conditions. Accuracy isn’t a promise. It’s a standard.

Legal Integrity & IP Respect

All services are conducted under NDA and fully comply with international copyright, patent, and export control regulations. We work only on authorized requests — ensuring full legal traceability and IP protection.

Client-Centered & Scalable Approach

Every project is adapted to your constraints — technical, budgetary, or regulatory. Whether you need a one-off recovery or a design ready for production, we align our scope to your goals and provide documentation that scales.

Post-Delivery Engineering Support

We don’t just ship files. We help you integrate the result: advising on production, sourcing modern replacements, or adapting the design for new applications. Your success is part of our process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The timeline depends on the complexity, number of layers, and availability of documentation. Typically, it takes 2 to 6 weeks covering inspection, analysis, testing, and documentation. We provide detailed schedules and keep you updated at every stage.
