GUARANTEE

All repaired units are tested before packing and return. I test for the fault symptoms that you describe. Repairs that I carry out are guaranteed for 3 months. Parts and labour are covered. Subsequent fault symptoms are not covered. For example, if you describe the symptoms as "no picture" and a different, unrelated fault appears some time after repair (eg. "crackling sound on audio") then that is not covered by warranty. In all such cases, commonsense and honesty will prevail. If you return the unit to me and the problem is obviously my fault, then I won't charge you for putting it right. However, if it's a different, unrelated fault which occurred through no fault of mine then I will charge for the repair and carriage.

Please test your unit on return. If it feels cold, LEAVE IT in a warm room for several hours before connecting power. Cold units attract moisture which can condense inside and cause short circuits. Make sure all connections are correctly made before switching on the 230v power at the wall socket. (DO NOT use the little plug at the back of the Digibox for connecting / disconnecting power as this can cause arcing which is dangerous and can damage the Digibox). I can not be held responsible for faults which you cause.

I'm replacing Amstrad and Pace internal tuner modules every day. My details of packaging etc. are below. I charge £50 (includes return carriage + insurance for UK mainland only) so I'm fairly competitive if not the cheapest. The turnaround time is usually 1 - 2 days for the repair and 1 - 3 days for return carriage (insured) but could be slightly longer if I have no tuners in stock when your parcel arrives or if I can't re-use your packaging. If you want to improve reliability I can fit a miniature low-noise cooling fan inside for an extra £5 + vat (normally £6.95 + vat to buy). Save postage by ordering a "MasterCube" at the same time. This is £12.95 + postage + vat .. The "Master Cube" protects your equipment against mains voltage spikes and against telephone line voltage spikes. These prices are subject to change without notice (November 10, 2001).

Unless I request payment in advance, please send me a cheque immediately *after* you receive your Digibox back and test it to make sure it's OK.

Am I a cowboy working in a shed? No, I moved from a tiny high street shop to an industrial site unit (more space) and I've invested thousands of pounds in equipment. This is just one of the pieces of equipment that I use. It's a four thousand pound work station that allows me to remove and replace those tricky surface-mount chips which are impossible to do by hand.
