Welcome to our Repair, Don't Waste community!
Your investment in the specialist troubleshooting technology you see before you has a far wider impact than you may realise.
With your investment comes an entire new world of possibilities, powered by the skills of electronic repair. At #RepairDontWaste, we have seen community members repair units that saved upwards of 10 million dollars using repair and maintenance techniques and the infamous SYSTEM 8 technology – outstanding results which we hope every company can achieve with their own application.
Why should you embrace Repair Don't Waste?

Repair is Often Forgotten
Repairing electronics is seen as a dying art that is no longer needed by many in industry. This attitude, combined with OEM refusal to facilitate the repair of modern circuit boards, has led to the gradual decline of skilled repair technicians and engineers. The make-break-waste economy has increasingly ruled the industry over the past decades, with PCBs being discarded into the ever growing mountain of global E-waste. And yet, times are changing.

But Needed More Than Ever!
Since 2015, Repair, Don’t Waste has championed the repair of PCBs in industries such as defence, aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy, however the shortages and panic that 2020 brought have increased demand for repair considerably. These events, combined with the global push towards net-zero emissions and wider sustainability, have propelled our movement forward at an unimaginable pace. Finally, repair as a viable solution to E-waste is in the spotlight!

Testimonials

I believe more than 95% of faulty boards can be repaired. Easily!
It is worth the effort when you take into consideration the rising costs of materials and extensive lead times.

Repairing electronic boards, complex or simple, will always be cheaper than buying a new one. It greatly reduces downtime too if you have the right tool for the job.

Since January, I have fixed 105 high-value circuit boards and saved the company over $525,000. They’ve even given me a nice pay rise!

Repairing is investing in a greener future for our children. With the right equipment and training, you can repair anything.

It’s always motivating to see the entrepreneurial spirit in the aerospace industry. Your waste reduction philosophy tells a compelling story, and one that we’d like to see succeed to improve operational and cost effectiveness.

The losses from just one hour of any machine that is not in operation are a huge deal. Having the means to diagnose and repair it locally is key in times of component shortage and supply chain issues.

I am pleased with the BoardMaster acquisition by VLT. It’s a fantastic, exceptionally versatile tool. A great ally to diagnose faults in electronic boards with precision.

We are able to diagnose and repair over 90% of the circuit boards from modern locomotives. Programmed devices rarely cause us issues as they are usually well protected by other components.

I am a firm believer that real sustainability is not only achieved by producing energy with renewable means but also by extending the life cycle of the very components that generate that green electricity!
