A method for detecting repairable boards requiring repair amongst many boards which may or may not require repair applies a board detection model based on training features of many sample repairable boards. The method obtains repair-relevant information of all the sample repairable boards, extracts predetermined features from the repair-relevant information, and analyzes the predetermined features to obtain the training features. The board detection model is established and trained based on the training features, and receives repair-relevant information of each repairable board to obtain a result of detection repairable board according to the board detection model. A device for detecting repairable boards is also provided.
