Partial Refund less shipping:

Flat rate price given assumes that your equipment is complete without physical damage from prior improper repair attempts, being dropped or corrosion. Exposure to moisture or battery leakage causing rust, oxidation or corrosion may limit serviceability. Occasionally, mechanical or electronic issues are discovered that make repair more difficult or impossible because replacement parts are not available. Before any repair is attempted, customer will be advised if any such issues are found. If additional repair is needed, a detailed estimate will be provided. If we find that your equipment is not repairable for any reason, a minimum diagnostic fee of $45 will apply and we can either return your items to you along with a partial refund (amount prepaid less minimum diagnostic fee, materials used and return shipping) – Or you can donate it to us for parts at your option (full refund).
