Travis took it in and when he got the phone apart he pulled the connector off of the board. It wasn't due to his inabilities but actually the way Google (which I will never buy another phone from) designs their phones. Travis was able to solder on another connector but then realize the cable between the screen and the connector was also broken. When he went to try to get another connector (GOOGLE WON'T SELL THE CABLE) so what does Travis do? He buys me another phone. He could have so easily ripped me off here but instead of doing that, he did the right thing and the good thing for his business. I can't recommend the fix Hut enough. You are going to get an honest deal with fair pricing. They've been here for 15 years and now I know why. Thank you again Travis!!!!

Fortunately, I decided to venture down a search into the more local small businesses and came upon this cool old school & quirky shop. I think the gentleman's name was Jim. Older dude that could pass as your nerdy techy friend who's probably collected every tech gadget since the original Tron came out. Told him what I was looking for but I gradually got discouraged as all he was showing me were the bigger style bigger sound units that are common for home systems. But, alas! With a little patience we revealed a new treasure: smaller desk top speakers! Minor speaker mesh stains on the front but super decent with a little TLC. He was super friendly and chill, even making an effort to find parts that could potentially be missing from this set (like compatible power cord). It also came with an amp box that I've got sitting below my desk table, which was a nice surprise (I keep it plugged in for the deeper sounds or just unplugged for more "regular(?)" crispy audio). All that for a really awesome deal; I think it was something like $15-30 or something crazy like that. Good shit, dude! Thank you. If you're looking for small speakers, I probably snagged the last set but I definitely recommend this place for any help with acheiving 2 things at once: reusing/upcycling any sort of old working electronics and supporting a damn good local friendly small business.

The glass was ordered and although it took a bit longer to arrive, the work was done correctly. Unfortunately, the mouse USB was left at iFix and realized it hours later. When I called it was confirmed the USB was there and Lucas dropped it off at my home. What awesome customer service.

(Go to Carver Audio Repair's website for a better description of all that is included with this service.) Only a few rare days do I not listen to the Pioneer, which performs better than it ever has. It also looks as good as possible for a 50-year-old component. The same condition exists under the hood... it is absolutely beautiful. If an audio component is worth investing in, this service will restore or upgrade to as close to new as is reasonably possible . Rolland (owner) will do custom modifications upon request (for an additional cost). (I requested the Pioneer have an IEC power connection installed.) Carver Audio will also do repairs only. (A Kenwood KA-9100 will be receiving the "Chassis Refresh" within the next few months.) My experience has been that Carver Audio's the level of technical service, pride in their work and overall professionalism is hard to find in servicing home electronics. The reviews tell the story.

I have a few audio units from decades ago in decent enough shape to have completely brought back to like-new condition. This service does not address external cosmetics, but the owner (Rolland) will make sure the unit receives a deep cleaning inside and out is remarkable. All capacitors are replaced with modern (better than when new) electrolytic capacitors . (See website for description of "Chassis Refresh" service.) The Pioneer SA-8500 II and Kenwood KA-9100 sound better than I ever remember. If you have cherished older stereo power equipment that you love to use (touch, look at, and listen to) it will be very satisfying to receive back the amp you have sent to Hi-Tech/Carver Audio.
