BoardScope turns raw .brd files into an interactive diagnostic workspace — measure voltages, trace signals, annotate faults, and close repairs faster.
From opening the file to closing the repair — BoardScope covers the entire diagnostic workflow in one tool.
Pan, zoom, and click any component or net. Supports .brd, FlexBV, Verilog Boardview, and ASCII formats. Renders both sides simultaneously.
Type any net name or part reference and BoardScope highlights every connection across the board — instantly. Multi-search finds shared nets between two components.
Record live voltage readings per net. Color-coded pass/fail overlays update the board view in real time. Export as CSV for documentation.
Overlay measured voltages as a heat map across the board. Diode mode overlays forward-voltage readings with short/open detection — spot faults at a glance.
Load a thermal camera image and align it over the board to correlate hot spots with specific components and power rails.
Describe the symptom and let the AI analyze your board, measurements, and fault patterns. Supports Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and local Ollama models. PRO
Step-by-step guided repair trees for MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Nintendo Switch, and more. AI-generated trees for any symptom on any board.
Visualize the full power architecture — which rail enables which. Power Sequence Timeline shows the expected power-up order with live voltage markers.
Per-component and per-net notes, repair logs, before/after measurement diff, community notes shared across your team, and video reference links.
Map corroded areas, score severity by zone, and track reballing workflows for BGA chips — all overlaid on the boardview.
Record your measurement sequences and replay them on every board of the same model. Consistent, repeatable diagnostics at scale. PRO
Define automated test sequences that verify each rail and measurement point after a repair. Pass/fail report exports to HTML or PDF. PRO
BoardScope is built around the real workflow of board repair — not around theory.
Drag in any .brd file. BoardScope parses it instantly — components, nets, pads, and both board sides rendered with zoom and pan.
Use the Fault Tree to follow a guided symptom path. Search rails, trace signal paths, and use the Short Finder to locate bridges.
Record voltages per net directly in the app. Connect a serial multimeter for live readings with stable-reading detection and auto-fill.
Run the Test Suite to confirm every rail is back in spec. Export a pass/fail report and log the repair for the board model's history.
No switching apps. Everything lives inside BoardScope.
Connect real test equipment via USB — readings flow directly into the board view.
Download BoardScope and open your first board file in under a minute. No account required. Pro features unlock AI diagnosis, macro recorder, and test suites.
