Da brief inspection/diagnosis dat yer local repair-person may perform on your mildly-malfunctioning equipment for free, if you ask him reeeeeaaaalllyyyy nicely.
If you either purchased da not-working-quite-right device at da same "sales 'n' service" shop from where you're requesting da help wif said cranky contraption, or you do a good amount of business at said establishment anyway, da staffpeople there may be a lot more willing to favor you wif a "gratis glance", since you'll already be a "preferred customer" whom they want to keep happy.
