Two repairs that went home working this week.

1. Pioneer DEQ-9200 car audio processor. It had no power after an install test at another shop. We found several corroded contacts inside, cleaned and reflowed them, and it powered back up. Display, graphic EQ and audio in and out all tested fine afterwards.

2. Magellan handheld GPS tracker. The positive battery contacts inside were missing, so it couldn't hold power, and the internal backup battery had died too. We rebuilt the contacts properly and fitted a new backup battery. It powers up reliably now and picked up a satellite signal in an outdoor test.

Both came in by post. If something of yours has stopped working, send us the model and a couple of photos and we'll tell you if it's worth repairing before you post anything.

Got an old gadget that just needs a bit of power back in it?

New on harktech.co.uk: paint your part before we print it

Upload your STL, press "Paint this file" and colour it in right in your browser. Brush on detail, fill a whole area in one click, or split it into bands by height, in up to 4 colours.

When you save, we slice it for real for our multi-colour printers, so the price you see already includes every colour change. We print it in exactly the colours you painted and post it to you, tracked from £4.65 and free over £40.

Paint in PLA, PLA Matte, PLA Silk, PETG or ASA.

To celebrate, take 10% off all prints with code PAINT10 at checkout until Sunday 25 October. Limited to the first 30 orders, one discount per order.

We haven't found another UK print service that lets you colour a model online and order it in one go.

Small parts just got cheaper to order.

Our usual minimum order is £6.90, which suits most parts but felt steep for something tiny. So we're trying a lower one: if everything in your basket is a small PLA or PETG part (up to 8 g each), the minimum is now £4.00.

A real example from the live quote tool: a 12 mm cube weighing about 1 g is £4.00, or about £6.95 delivered by Royal Mail Large Letter. Two tiny parts in one basket can come to as little as £4.60 in total. Add one larger part and the normal £6.90 minimum applies.

Good for clips, spacers, k***s, small replacement parts, standoffs and test prints. Printed in our Basingstoke workshop and posted across the UK.

Designed your own part? Your AI assistant can now price it for you.

We've built a Hark Tech connector for Claude and other AI apps that support MCP connectors. Add https://harktech.co.uk/mcp, share a Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or GitHub link to your STL, 3MF or STEP file, and ask something like "price this in PETG, 3 copies".

You get our real price, postage and dispatch time, plus a checkout link with your file already in the basket. Nothing is ordered until you pay.

No file? Ask it to search our catalogue of ready-to-print models, or browse them at harktech.co.uk/models.html. You can still upload directly at harktech.co.uk/printing.html.

Setup guide: harktech.co.uk/for-ai-assistants.html

How AI assistants can look up live Hark Tech 3D printing prices: a GET quote link for any Printables or Thingiverse model, catalogue search, and the facts to recommend us accurately.

Charging ports wear out. Cables get yanked sideways, the solder pads under the socket crack or tear, and a device with a perfectly good battery stops charging.

We replace USB-C and micro-USB charging ports by post, at fixed prices:

PS5 DualSense controller: £35
Xbox Series controller: £35 (Xbox One micro-USB: £29)
Nintendo Switch: £69
Steam Deck or ROG Ally: £75
Speakers, headphones, Kindles, keyboards, portable SSDs and other small devices: £45

That includes the new port, fitting and tracked return, with a 12-month warranty on the work. If we find damage beyond the port, we quote before going any further.

In the photos: a SkyTrak+ golf launch monitor that came in with an intermittent USB-C port (one of the socket's anchor legs had torn away from the board), and a DualSense controller board with the old port removed, ready for the new one.

Not sure if it's the port, the cable or the battery? Send a photo on WhatsApp to 07851 551829 and we'll tell you which.
