Chris is an electronic genius!!! Brought my 20 yr old Palm Tungsten E (that I can’t live without) back to life, quickly and for a fair price. Great communcation throughout the processs…..Chris can’t thank you enough!!! (ps: all the data was there, nothing lost, backed it up as soon as I got it back)
Excellent in every aspect, very fast repair and great communication. I'll be sending another GPS for repair very shortly.
I have been using my Palm T/X for many years. I am so completely dependent on it, I have 2 backups, so I am still in business if one is out for repair.
Since 2011, I have relied on Short Tronics to keep me going. Whenever I had a problem (lost data, can ‘t HotSync, display not showing, no sound, input not working, etc.), they diagnosed went wrong and fixed it. They have never let me down.
The battery on my Palm Pilot still shows nearly full charge after a week. It was showing full for about five minutes when I stumbled over Short Tronics. Service was really quick and I'm able to take the best calendar/contact program I've ever used back on the road with me. Thanks so much
Read about your services on adv rider site. Repaired my Garmin Zumo 550 to like new condition. I was considering throwing it away when I was informed the manufacturer no longer serviced their own product! (WTH?) I’m glad I found Short Tronics- was able to speak to a human, thorough shipping instructions, quick estimate and repair turnaround. It’s great to find a business that exceeds expectations this day and time. Will recommend to anyone needing GPS repair.
Chris repaired the custom PDA that programs our building's 2003 Lutron lighting system AND created a backup PDA (since Lutron no longer provides them). If Chris ever retires, we will have to re-wire all our lights!
Thank you Chris!
Need the battery replaced and new screen, got back fast and it knew the right date and a nice clear screen. Ready to go flying!
I have used Garmin GPSs for nearly 20 years. They function very well but are quite expensive. I am disappointed that Garmin discontinues supporting their devices only after a few years. That is the case with my Zumo 595. The transfer wafer in the micro USP port on the device became misaligned thus preventing me from connecting it to Garmin Express and Garmin BaseCamp. Garmin said they no longer serviced this device. Short Tronics, Inc. replaced the micro USP port on the device at a very reasonable price with a very quick turn around.
If you are having problems with a Garmin device no longer supported by Garmin, I highly recommend that you contact Short Tronics, Inc. regarding repair of your device before you buy another expensive "newer" Garmin GPS for which Garmin will most likely discontinue service in a few years after purchase.
I am extremely impressed with Short Tronics. I'd been looking for someone to replace the internal battery in my GNS430. Skyman Avionics recommended Chris from Short Tronics. Chris is EXTREMELY responsive, which is something I highly value in a company. He was very transparent in how the process would go. I opted to pay the small rush fee and next day air both ways so my plane wouldn't be down long. I put dropped it off to UPS on a Friday, he received it on Monday, fixed it, recommended a couple of other things that also needed to be fixed, and I had it back in my hands and back in the airplane on Tuesday - as good as new. I've already given some folks his information to call - DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
My Garmin 296 suddenly acted up and Garmin tech support was no help.
I ran across Chris Short at Short tronics doing an online search for help.
Chris wiped and reloaded it and replaced the internal battery in less than a day
It was about $100. Works perfectly now.
I was so certain the 296 was shot that I bought a 496 on eBay.
That had problems so I sent it to Chris. Less than a day turnaround and works great.
I can't praise him enough.
