    SONY AVR REPAIRS

    There is a guy on the corner of Washington Street and 12th Avenue in Boston - Techfix. His shop does not look like much but he fixed another SONY AVR of mine with the same problem. Quick turnaround time and the cost was very reasonable.

    B&W Metal dome tweeter dent

    I?ve tried all the tips on the forum and the web with no success. Can anyone recommend someone in Cape Town who can fix a dented B&W tweeter? The sound does not seem to be affected, so I think the damage is superficial. Thanks.

    Dstv Decoder Swap

    I forgot to mention - we live in a complex where there are no dishes. I think the signal comes from one source and is then distributed to all the homes.

    Dstv Decoder Swap

    I have an old HD PVR 2P decoder which is slowly packing up. It will record but wont play back. My question is: can I simply swap it out with a new Explora Ultra or does it need a new dish or other hardware? Apologies if this has been discussed before. A quick search did not show up a similar...

    AV receiver repairs Cape Town

    My old SONY AV receiver goes into ?PROTECT? mode when I switch it on and switches off by itself soon after. I?ve tried it with speakers and a source connected and without. Same result. Can anyone recommend a repair shop/guy in Cape Town?

    PS4 or PS4 Pro?

    I got that bundle a few days ago. Mainly for Gran Turismo. HUGE improvement over my old PS3 and Gran Turismo 5 in terms of graphics. Gran Turismo looks very smooth and the gameplay has been streamlined. Much quicker to get hold of the faster cars. My old PS3 will be in the classifieds soon.

    PS4 or PS4 Pro?

    Thanks for all the helpful feedback. I?m leaning towards the PS4 slim package with the three games included. Not exactly sure when I will be upgrading to a 4K TV, and my old FHD plasma is still going strong. The PS4?s graphics should be much better than my PS3, right?

    PS4 or PS4 Pro?

    Has anyone seen a direct comparison between the PS4 slim and PS4 Pro on a 4K HDR TV? The PS4 with a bundle of 3 games can be had for R4500 now. The Pro goes for R7500 with no extras but the controller. I?m thinking of going the PS4 Pro route. I currently have an old full HD plasma and will be...

    Headphone foam surrounds

    Thanks for the reply. I called the number on Sennheiser South Africa?s website, not expecting much help at 4 o?clock on a Friday afternoon. A very helpful lady called Anita spent a few minutes on the phone with me trying to find the parts I need. It turns out they have stock and it will come to...

    Headphone foam surrounds

    Where in Cape Town can I get new foam surrounds for a pair of Sennheiser PX100 on-ear headphones? I suspect I won?t get them from the agents anymore. Anyone on the forum maybe who makes this kind of thing?

    Logitech Harmony One Battery

    It lost charge. Wouldn't last two days. It had swollen so much I struggled to get it out.

    Logitech Harmony One Battery

    I have. They fit perfectly, but don't charge in the cradle. When I put them in an old Nokia phone, they charged. Tips on the web about shorting out one of the terminals didn't help either.
