• Visual inspection and circuit tracing of PCBs
• Netlist extraction and schematic recreation
• Generation of Gerber, BOM, and fabrication files
• BOM identification through part marking and footprint analysis
• PCB layer structure analysis (single, double, multi-layer)
• Signal and power integrity evaluation (where applicable)
• Documentation of reference designators, polarity, and component orientation
• Redesign or enhancement for performance, availability, or cost
• Obsolete component replacement and re-engineering
• Creation of test points and redesign for manufacturing/testability
• Full documentation delivery: schematic, layout, BOM, and assembly drawings
