Projector Repair in Miami and Broward

Projector repair for Miami-Dade and Broward — bench service in Margate, twenty minutes up the road, and mail-in from anywhere in the United States.

Bring it in, or post it

We are in Margate, Florida, which puts us within easy reach of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach and Miami. There is no shopfront to visit, so arrange it here first and we will tell you where to send it or drop it.

What comes across the bench

Colour wheels that rattle, DMD chips with dead mirrors, optical blocks with a colour missing, ballasts that will not strike the lamp, boards that shut the machine down after ten minutes. DLP and LCD both.

What it costs
