Buyer feedback from my eBay seller account (hark-tech31), where I refurbish and resell electronics. These comments are from buyers, not repair customers — but they are a public, third-party record of how I communicate, pack and ship. Repair-customer reviews are building up on Google — leave one here.
Reviews from past customers help others trust an independent workshop they’ve never heard of. Takes about 30 seconds on Trustpilot.
A quick look at what’s come through the workshop — anonymised, no customer details.
I’m Grant — 8 years as a professional IT administrator before going independent, plus a decade of hardware tinkering and firmware modding alongside. I built Hark Tech because I got tired of shops that swap parts they didn’t need to, quote for work they can’t actually do, and hand things back in worse shape than they arrived.
I maintain open-source projects for the Creality K2 3D printer (KAMP-K2, K2-Screws-Tilt) and have reverse-engineered enough of its firmware to install Klipper on it cleanly — the kind of curiosity that translates into actually fixing things, not just guessing.
Post your kit over — laptop, console, amp, sticky Joy-Cons, whatever it is — and you’ll get an honest diagnosis before I touch a soldering iron. If I can’t fix it, you pay nothing and I post it back.

Laptops, desktops, consoles, monitors, amps, vintage hi-fi, and component-level PCB work. Embedded and firmware problems welcome too — they’re some of my favourite jobs.
