Our Services & Repair Menu:
At Secret Gateways, we are committed to keeping your devices in the fight. Over the years, major manufacturers like Apple, Samsung,
and top console brands, and computer manufacturers have designed modern tech to resist standard repairs—utilizing complex
adhesives, serialized micro-soldered components, and fragile internal architecture and other forms of revenue defenses.
To adapt to these engineering shifts and continue offering the highest-tier workmanship, we have moved away from flat-rate pricing.
Instead, we use a transparent Scope of Work approach for each of our customers and their situations. We tell the truth about the
viability and pros and cons of repairs to help you decide what is best for you.
1. The Diagnostic Inspection Foundation
Every successful repair begins with a map. Because modern devices often present cascading issues (e.g., a bad charging port
mimicking a dead motherboard), we require a formal diagnostic bench check.
Standard Device Assessment: Ranges starting at $50 and may increase depending on how complex device dis-assembly and re-
assembly. (Applied directly toward the cost of your repair if you move forward with us).
Advanced/No-Power Diagnostics: Plus or Minus $80
For severely damaged devices (Such as severe liquid damage or component-level failure, etc.) requiring microscopic board inspection,
thermal imaging, or multi-meter fault isolation, or special lab procedures are typically higher tier cost and range depending on scope of
work.
2. Computer and Laptop Repair & Diagnostics (Viruses, Slow Performance, Navigational, Hardware, and Software, Data
Backup, Data Recovery, Pictures, ETC). This is our absolute specialty and a staple of our service. We can handle anything from
basic computer troubles to severe computer issues.
Estimated Labor: Starting $80 for basic services or up to $300 + parts if needed. Advanced on-site, emergency situations, and special
IT services care are usually higher tier cost and range depending on scope of work.
3. General Technical Navigator & Advisor Services (NEW)
Do you need help with understanding or working your computer, smart TV or other tech? With a world becoming more complex than
ever there is a need for technical advisors to help people figure out and navigate this complexity. Just as you might need help with
personal health, people need help with technology, and now there is a service you can call to help get you past these issues. This is
especially designed for the elderly who are finding themselves obligated to do everything with computers and technology. We
offer relief from the headache.
Estimated Cost: Depends on depth of need. Most cases range about $80 for the average handling of topic of each case.
4. Basic Soldering and electronic Service (two to three component or torn connector)
For absolute basic soldering connection such as a frayed wire, loose connection, or the soldering of a small circuit board with a few
diodes or resistors as needed by small windmills, or basic sensors
Estimated Charge: Between $80 and $300 depending on complexity. Circuits hidden within complex enclosures requiring the removal of
a large number or fasteners, or tamper proof casings may increase pricing.
5. Basic Website building Services (Small 1 to 10 page websites for starters) $200 per page
Includes text, 5 images per page, and links to all pages within site. Website videos not available. Call to find out if a basic website
is right for you. Did you know that websites are not automatic fame? If you are under the impression that once a website is published
you will reach millions of people think again. Get the facts and find out with a free over the phone technical session.
6. AI Image and Video Creation Services.
Do you need help creating a fantastic video logo, image, or video with a captivating message? Call to get a Free Quote for you project.
Manually and basic low cost images available.
7. Invention or Technology Consultation (Help with design, testing, Science and Engineering support and report results)
If you feel you have a Billion dollar idea, be sure to reserve an appointment with an engineer. Get insight from an engineer backed by
formal training in science and electrical engineering before you sink large amounts of time effort, and money into your project. Patent
protection, notary ready, non disclosure agreement document is available to be signed by your engineer to put your mind at ease. Set
up a confidential session and speak with an engineer about your project.

, which includes full digital report of findings, Abstract, Availability of originality, project build proposal, and quote for full R&D Project.;
Tier 3: Full Project Research and Development of Prototype technology $55,000 initial commitment + parts, materials, test, insurances
and may require additional cost such as rented or acquired tools, facilities, personnel, skills and other special arrangements as needed
by depth of project. This package includes the benefits of Tier 1 and 2, Notarized NDA is included for free.
8. Cellphone & Tablet Repair Service (Apple, Samsung, Pixel, etc.)
Modern smart phones are sealed with industrial water-resistant adhesive and increasingly feature serialized components that require
specialized calibration tools. Some brands Such as Samsung have parts and complex builds which or usually more costly than the
device may be worth. We give you the information you need to make a decision about whether or not to go forward with a repair.
Tier 1: Cell phone Technical consultation, infections, device resets due to password, viruses, spyware, device backup. Maintenance to
extend device life cycle.

Why Our Pricing Model Changed (Our Promise to You)
No Cutting Corners: Anti-repair designs mean shortcuts result in permanently bricked devices. Our rates ensure our technicians can
take the necessary time to meticulously open, repair, and re-seal your tech.
Premium Parts Ecosystem: We prioritize OEM or highest-grade aftermarket parts so your screens stay bright and your batteries don't
degrade in three months.
No Surprises: If a diagnostic reveals hidden damage that pushes the price past your initial estimate, we stop and call you first. You are
always in control of your budget.
