    I'M glad you put that out there right off the bat.{ I see signs of previous repair ATTEMPTS}BUT i''ll take a look at it.FAIR enough,and very honest.Sometimes crooked customers bring items in for you to repair that MAY have been broken,then when they come to pick it up because you call and say it can't be repaired ,THEY BLAME YOU for a botched job,and make a huge stink about it ,hoping you buckle under and give them a new one or something free,just to get rid of them.After a while in business you learn to spot them right off the bat.LIKE Nancy Regan once said"JUST SAY NO" haha

      @BlauDroid Před 3 lety +1

      Most likely because they knew they can't fix it and they had it stripped of components that worked and given a body that doesn't. I mean 1 year in the shop i suspect it was already a donor board by the missing caps and resistors and the body of course.
