What Circuit Board Medics makes

Circuit Board Medics is an electronics repair and remanufacturing company. Rather than making new parts, it restores failed circuit boards and control modules to working condition, and its own materials describe the goal as returning boards to function "better than new." The work spans automotive electronics, appliance control boards, commercial-truck and tractor modules, and industrial control systems.

The automotive catalog is the deepest part of the business. It covers instrument clusters, Totally Integrated Power Modules (TIPM), powertrain and engine control modules (PCM and ECM), transmission control modules (TCM), fuel injection control modules (FICM), turbo actuators, ABS units, ADAS cameras, and touchscreens, across roughly 30 vehicle makes from Acura to Volvo. On the appliance side it repairs oven, range, and washer control boards for brands including GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Bosch, Samsung, and Sub-Zero/Wolf. Commercial-truck, tractor, RV, and industrial electronics round out the range, including AC/DC drives.

The company positions repair as a sourcing alternative when a new OEM module is unavailable, backordered, or expensive. Its own customer accounts describe modules restored in about a week when a dealer replacement was on weeks-long backorder, which is the practical case for board-level remanufacturing in a constrained parts market. Many standard repairs carry a one-day in-house turnaround option, and the company reports more than 37,000 five-star reviews across its service lines.

Technical capabilities

The repair floor is built for component-level rework, not just board swaps. Circuit Board Medics performs Ball Grid Array (BGA) rework and wire bond replacement, two of the harder operations in board repair, along with reflow, reballing, component replacement, failure analysis, and testing and validation. Boards are handled in an ESD-protected (electrostatic discharge) environment, and technicians are trained to the company's own quality standards on top of its certifications.

This depth is what separates a remanufacturer from a parts reseller. Component-level repair requires diagnosing the specific failure on a board, replacing the failed device, and validating the fix, rather than discarding and replacing the whole assembly. The company also offers remote diagnosis and troubleshooting for customers working through a failure before shipping a module in.

Ownership and history

Ed Edwards, a licensed professional engineer, founded Circuit Board Medics in 2010. The company started as a one-person garage operation built around a single washing-machine board repair and grew into a team the industry association MEMA describes as more than 100 employees. Before founding the company, Edwards was a lean manufacturing manager and plant engineer at Parker Hannifin. The company remains independent and founder-led, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina.

Circuit Board Medics operates from a single facility at 15-C Pelham Ridge Drive in Greenville and ships worldwide, stating it has served customers on six of the seven continents. In November 2025, Edwards received the Michael Cardone Leadership Award from MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers at AAPEX in Las Vegas, an award that recognizes leadership in the remanufacturing community. Its sustainability case is straightforward for a remanufacturer: repairing a board keeps the whole device out of the landfill and avoids the resource cost of building and shipping a new one, which is the same logic buyers weigh when they compare repair against replacement or nearshoring a new supply.

Certifications and quality

Circuit Board Medics states that its facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified and that its technicians hold IPC certification, the electronics-assembly industry's standard for workmanship. The company runs a documented quality management system and emphasizes ESD protection, thorough testing, and validation as standard procedure. These are self-reported certifications posted on the company's own site; the ISO 9001:2015 standard is the general quality-management benchmark rather than the automotive-specific IATF 16949 used by OEM production suppliers, which fits a repair-and-remanufacturing operation rather than a volume Tier 1 or Tier 2 parts maker.

Known customers

Circuit Board Medics serves a mix of individual DIY consumers, independent repair shops, and businesses rather than a small set of named OEM programs, so its customer base is diffuse by design. No specific marquee customer is documented in public filings or company announcements.

Sourcing evidence

As a repair company, Circuit Board Medics does not import finished goods for resale, and its US import footprint is small and incidental: 11 ocean shipments on record between April 2020 and March 2026, all less-than-container-load, with cumulative ocean freight spend of roughly $11,000. Foreign counterparties on the bills of lading include Zhejiang Zhenbo Precision Machinery (China) and Sonceboz Automotive (a Swiss maker of stepper motors and actuators shipping via Germany and the Netherlands), consistent with sourcing components, tools, or test hardware rather than trade-scale inventory.

By manifest code, the mix leads with machinery (HS chapter 84), plastics (chapter 39), and small counts of automotive parts, electric motors, and precision instruments. Lanes run from Ningbo, China to Newark, New Jersey, and from Rotterdam to Newark. The record is what you would expect from a domestic remanufacturer that buys most of its inputs and equipment inside the US and imports only occasional specialty items.

Coverage caveats: these are US ocean-freight records only. Air, truck, and rail movements do not appear, and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence, and for a repair business the import trail understates the operation by design.
