PCB Reverse Engineering Services
Recover useful design information when the original PCB files are missing or incomplete. Share photos, any remaining files and your recovery objective with GlobalWellPCB to assess schematic reconstruction, component records and PCB data recovery.
Understand what can be recovered before committing a board sample.
Recover the information needed for your next step
Tell us whether you need documentation, maintenance support or a redesign. The achievable recovery scope depends on the board condition and the evidence available.
Board and component documentation
Record visible components, part markings, dimensions, connector details and the information already available.
Connectivity and schematic recovery
Assess which circuit connections can be established and organized into a reconstructed schematic.
PCB data reconstruction
Review the available geometry and manufacturing data for recovery into an editable design.
Redesign handoff
Identify missing information and verification work needed before recovered data is used for an updated board.
Files and feedback for your next step
Confirm the required formats and deliverables when we define your project scope.
Recovered schematic or connectivity
Agree which circuit sections can be documented from the evidence.
Component and BOM record
Separate confirmed part information from unidentified or uncertain items.
Reconstructed board data
Request the editable or manufacturing outputs appropriate to the agreed recovery depth.
Recovery and verification notes
See the methods used, unresolved items and checks needed for the intended use.
Start with the information you already have
Send the available files together and identify the revision. Tell us which details are still to be confirmed.
Board information
Clear photos of both sides, dimensions, board markings and the condition of any available samples.
Remaining documentation
Legacy schematic, BOM, Gerber, manuals or earlier CAD files if available.
Recovery objective
The documentation you need, preferred source format, known faults and sample-handling restrictions.
From your enquiry to the next design step
Start with photos and existing files
Tell us which board revision you have and what information is missing.
Agree the recovery scope
Assess the available evidence, required outputs and sample needs.
Confirm sample handling
Approve the inspection methods and any work that may affect the sample.
Review recovered information
Check the reconstructed design and plan the validation needed for maintenance or redesign.
Hidden layers and unidentified components can limit recovery. Confirm your authorization to analyze the board and approve any destructive inspection in advance.
Before you send your files
Can you recover a design without the original CAD files?
That is the purpose of design recovery. Start with photos, remaining documents and your objective so the recoverable scope can be assessed.
Can a multilayer board be recovered completely?
Complete recovery cannot be assumed from photos or a sample alone. Hidden connections and unavailable part information may require additional evidence or analysis.
Do you need a working sample?
A working reference can help with verification, but a damaged or unpowered board may still provide useful information. Send details of the sample condition first.
Can recovered files go straight to production?
Recovered data should be reviewed and validated for the intended use. Discuss the required engineering checks and prototype work before production.
Have a board with missing design files?
Start with photos and the information you still have. Tell us what you need to recover and how you plan to use it.
