The advanced capability means that your updates are also in real-time. At Gadget Rehab, we have been operating this repair management software for eight years.

The status changes as we go through the repair process. We will even email you at key stages of the process, so you know where we are.
Once the repair has been completed, you will receive a notification by email of its completion. This will be updated on your ticket and reflected on the job status. We also provide you with the option to sign digitally creating a record for both you and for us.

Cambridge Speaker Repair Blog Post

Cambridge Audio Speaker Repair

At Gadget Rehab we deal with many different types of repairs including tech for music. In this blog post we explain how we carried out a Cambridge Audio Speaker repair.

The Issue

The unit, a Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200, had no power and had failed to work despite some simple tests carried out initially. Our engineer started the process by checking wiring (one of the most common issues) to ensure all connections were intact prior to looking further into the issue.

Diagnostics

With no power, we suspected it was a more complex problem and began reviewing the components. As well as physical inspection of the parts, we needed to pinpoint and download the motherboard schematics. Finding the motherboard schematics was a lengthy process. All makes and models are different, and manufacturers don’t release them officially online. Following comprehensive online research, we located the motherboard schematics and downloaded them. We also downloaded the technical drawings for the board.

Making the Repair

Using a multi meter, micro soldering equipment and a hot air station we located and repaired the damage to the motherboard. We are experts in micro soldering and our engineers are highly skilled in this area of technical repair. We use the latest industry professional equipment to ensure we have the highest accuracy when carrying our repairs of this kind. For example, we rely on these tools to use the correct temperature and fine tip soldering irons to precisely place the solder where it is needed.

Completion and Testing

Once complete, the speakers were re-assembled and tested. All items are tested prior to us completing each project so we are confident we have carried out the repair successfully. The Cambridge Audio Speaker now provides a fantastic sound and we had a very happy customer.

 

If you have speakers with no power or know there has been liquid or impact damage, contact us. One of our team will make an appointment for the repair. They will also talk you through timescales and price.

DJI Mavic Pro – Drone Crash Repair – Drone Repair UK

Project Drone DJI Mavic Pro repair started @ Gadget Rehab following an accident with a tree branch.

Gadget Rehab recieved this DJI Mavic Pro shortly after the incident. Unfortunately a little CPR or band aid could not ressurect this one.

The left wing had broken and the front camera mount plate was snaped from the elastic support. Leaving this patient needing quite extensive surgery.

However we were hopeful.

Gadget Rehab ordered the original parts from a supplier on our approved suppliers list and we had a good idea what was needed to get this one back up and running.

We got to the stage of disassembly when we thoroughly realised the extent of the damage and the further work that would be required to get this one flying again.

This drone cost over £1000.00 brand new. Therefore despite the extent of the damage it was still very economical to get this repaired rather than replaced.

Parts Required: Gimbal Yun Vibration Damper Mount Plate and Replacement Motor Arm Front LEFT With LED (Pilots Left!).

Requirments for repair: Various Precision Tools, Micro-Soldering Cababilities, Parts, good understanding of electronic dissassembly and reassembly and alot of old fashioned patience.

Gadget Rehabs Repairability Rating: We would give the Mavic Pro a 3/10 for repairabilty. Whilst these DJI Mavic Pro Drones are very well designed and of high quality  it certainly needs a professional to complete repairs on it properly.

The average person may find it difficult even if following the best YouTube DJI Mavic Pro repair guides or iFixit guides. Moreover micro-soldering is required.

Take a look at the damage and internals within the image below. We will shortly be uploading an in flight video to our Facebook Page. We completed the work on this repair for less than £170.00 and within 5 working days.

The customer will be happy to have this back in full working order again.

Pioneer DDJ-SZ2 DJ Contoller

We have had a few DJ controllers in for repair now and we are getting more and more familiar with their schematics and repairability.

There are several things that can go wrong with DJ controllers however we most commonly repair no power issues, CUE Button faults, Cross Fader faults and liquid spills.

Pioneer DDJ SZ2 and DJ equipment repair

It is surprising how much one of these DJ controllers can cost. This one we diagnosed and repaired recently is sold for £1900.00 so not the cheapest things to replace.

We are proud to be one of the only local/national repair companies that can offer a repair service for DJ equipment.

If you have any DJ or home entertainment equipment that require repair get in touch and we can offer you a quote over the phone or diagnostics from £15.00.

PC Gamers – need to clean the internal components of their PCs at least once per year.

If you are a keen PC Gamer it is important that your PC is cleaned at least once per year - some may even recommend much shorter intervals depending on the gamers usage and playing environment.

Thermal Paste Application on Graphics Card

PC's that are used for gaming generally are used more than the average PC and can build up substantial amounts of dust and dirt more quickly. This can lead to performance issues as the dust is often built up within the fan and heat sink which can cause the CPU and other vital components not to be kept as cool as they should be for optimal performance.

Moreover the thermal paste that is applied to keep the CPU cool can often become brittle in texture rather than smooth and soft. This may mean that the CPU is overheating which can result in system failures.

How often thermal paste should be reapplied is hard to confirm as it will depend on the quality of the thermal paste used initially by the manufacture or the last place that serviced the machine however if you are system cleaning every 6 - 12 months then this should be changed during this service.

Graphics Card Cleaning

If you feel your system needs cleaning please get in touch with us and we will arrange a booking with you. Tel: 01494534008
