What is fault finding on electronics?

The following YouTube video illustrates what a fault-find process looks like (click on the following link) - a faulty PSU

How long will the fault-finding process take?

The turnaround time will vary. We diagnose devices in the order that they're booked in with us. The quote is issued as soon as we get final replacement part(s) pricing from the supplier and have calculated the labour cost to complete the work order. 

What electronic equipment brands do you work on?

When it comes to consumer electronics, we diagnose and repair Asus; Acer; Lenovo; HP and other major brand laptops. Recent models of Apple MacBook Air/Pro; iPad and iPhone. Microsoft Xbox One S/X; Xbox Series S/X. Sony PlayStation 4/5. All Nintendo Switch models and many others. General PCB repairs of many major brand electronics sold in South Africa

Do you fix liquid damaged consumer electronics?

Yes, but only for data recovery if you do not have a Cloud backup for your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet, iPad or similar device. An electronic device exposed to liquid has been compromised and can never be restored to 100% condition again.

Can I wait while my device is being diagnosed/repaired?

No. It is not company policy to offer any 'while you wait' or same-day services here.

Since my iPhone is booked in for repairs, can you offer me a loan unit?

No. Please arrange your own device as an alternative one to be used whilst its booked in here for diagnostics and/or repair.

Can you price match another service provider?

No. We do not practice any price-match policy here. Each device booked in here is thoroughly checked and a custom solution in the form of a repair quote is given to each client we serve.

Ok, can you match another service provider with their 6 month or 1 year repair warranty?

No. The CPA (Consumer Protection Act) of the Republic of South Africa stipulates that a repair service provider may offer a 3 month parts/labour warranty to a client. Our policy is if [a] the part(s) supplier offers a warranty on the part(s) used in the repair and [b] a particular device with an approved quote has not had a repair attempt elsewhere before being booked in here -- then a limited warranty applies to the device serviced by us. T's & C's apply.

What type of electronics do you NOT repair?

We not service or repair home or car audio equipment; desktop PC's (and their peripherals); external AC adapters; garage or gate remotes; two way radio's; TV's; kitchen or other home appliances; auto electrical; and a plethora of other electronics which fall outside of the specific consumer or industrial electronics that we do work on

Do you offer any on-site repairs?

No. We do not offer any on-site repair services. Clients must bring in or ship in an electronic device that requires diagnosis and repair.

bga-reball

Micro Fix offers 3 levels of maintenance (repair) to our clients as defined below:

  • Level 1 - The first level maintenance corresponds to the simple interventions, necessary & realized on easily accessible elements. These operations do not require the dismantling of the equipment (e.g. operating system re-installation without user data)
  • Level 2 - The second level maintenance corresponds to the less complex interventions. The replacement of parts during these operations do not require the global dismantling of the equipment concerned (e.g. replacing the Blu-Ray laser of a game console)
  • Level 3 - The third level maintenance corresponds to interventions considered as complex. These operations include diagnosis and identification of a more intricate failure of the equipment concerned (e.g. iPhone not turning on)
  • Level 4 & 5 maintenance are either not required for repair of common faults of the electronics booked in by our client's (and would in most cases be deemed BER for the general public) or are reserved for devices that need refurbishment for resale 

Started in the electronic repair industry back in 2008 so have a wealth of experience in this space. Also have electronic engineers and technician's with a keen eye for detail and good knowledge to tackle a plethora of faults on the device types we service
