With every job there are many things that are required to be done to repair your equipment.

1, Time taken to input all you details into the computer. We only need the details of the fault not the history of the equipment unless it's relevant to the fault.

2, Time taken to test the equipment prior to disassembly to confirm the fault.

3, Time taken to disassemble the equipment and put it on the bench and set up test procedures and to test the equipment to confirm the fault.

4, Time taken to fault find the equipment. As most electronic faults can't be seen by the eye, a systematic and analytical method of fault finding needs to be employed to determine the faulty part. This will vary due to the complexity of the job and the skill of the technician.

10, If the equipment cannot be repaired for lack of parts or we are unable to find the fault due to extreme difficulty due to the equipment being of high complex nature or the equipment has an intermittent fault that will not manifest itself after many attempts to bring on the fault or the equipment is not economical to be repaired.

Although every attempt to repair your equipment will be made, in some instances, we may not be able to repair it. However we will still need the minimum charge as compensation for making the effort and taking the time to carry out the procedures above to attempt the repair.
