Hi,

The 90 Days is just incase if the problem does happen to return, I’ll repair it again no charge (other than shipping) I fixed my system a year ago and still have not seen any problems since.

It’s a comfort blanket, knowing that your repair is guarantied for 3 months. Rather than having a place repair it with no warranty, worrying that when you get it back, if the problem comes back a week do you have to pay again or not. I like letting people know that I’ll take care of it. No Worries.

What is wrong with your system?

(so far no feed back yet, you would be the first repair thus far since I launched the site/service, but since this is the case, maybe I’ll work out a deal on a reduced labor charge for publicity to get some reviews)

I’ll look into the site on non-apple machines 😛

I also threw a few blogs on my site as well

http://www.JohnnyPhantom.me

1 for just site news and 1 for customers to even track their repair progress.

Neat 😛

I can totally understand being skeptical to a new repair place 😛

I would feel the same,
I’m still working out the kinks in pricing,
But I figure around $30 labor of repair per unit, plus parts as needed.

I didn’t like the oven idea cause it warms up the LEDs on the board, and the Solder idea works great but very time consuming.

I’ve had great luck using heat guns, just as warm as a oven, faster, and doesn’t warm what is not necessary.

I’ve been fixing My own, a few of my friends, and for years I’ve been buying used ones, refurbing them, and reselling them on eBay and criagslist.

The only Thing I would ask customers, would be to provide 2 shipping labels, 1 to me and 1 to return their systems back to them.

I have a lot of units that I could use for parts as well to replace boards, housing, and other units in the systems.

If I can’t repair a system, I could offer a customer a replacement unit, and offer to give them trade in credit for their dead unit towards the replacement.

How do you think this would sound to the pubic?

😛

Just haven’t done this at such a bigger scale (Like I said, new to this, mostly done my own, buddies, and eBay ones)

(also I’m Located in Rhode Island)
