Pinnock Organiser Services (POS) Ltd. are located in Croydon, London, UK.

My experience
POS Ltd have a wonderful reputation for repairing your Psion machine, and getting it back to you quickly.

I have used them a number of times to repair my 3mx, and having sent it off on Monday morning had it back in my hand before 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday (and that was when I was living in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland) with a new case and new batteries. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

In my experience their average turnaround has been 3-5 working days.

While you wait
I've also heard praise from people who called in to the shop in person and waited while their Psion was repaired, one person prior to flying off to the United States. Their while you wait service incurs an additional £10.00 charge on top of the standard repair fee.

POS Ltd will repair the following machines:

• Psion Series 3a / 3c / 3mx
• Psion Siena
• Psion Revo / Revo Plus

Protect your Psion The Pod hard case from Proporta is the world’s most protective case for your Psion handheld. Purpose designed and injection moulded from crash-helmet grade ABS plastic – the Pod has even been aircraft drop tested Features smart fabric impact absorbent lining two secure sliding catches – stays closed even during an impact secure internal storage for two CompactFlash memory cards and business cards cutaways give access to your stylus, PsiWin and power cables while your handheld is still in the case. Review I bought one of these for my new Psion Series 5mx, and I now want one for my 3mx too. Having once accidentally dropped my 3mx and smashed the screen I certainly feel that my 5mx is far more protected in this case, even if I happen to drop it. Update: Having used this case for almost a year now I thoroughly recommend it. I've accidentally dropped my Psion (in this case) a couple of times, once in the Tesco carpark, and another time off a chair, and it has kept my Psion safe and sound. Phew! What are you waiting for? Go and buy one, right now! A bargain at £24.95 plus P&P. Check out www.proporta.com for more colours and accessories.

PsionFlexi

www.psionflexi.co.uk

One of the most common repair problems with the Psion Series 5 and Series 5mx is that the screen cable fractures, leaving you with an unusable screen with a pretty (if annoying) pattern of horizontal lines across your screen.

PsionFlexi offer a very reasonable service to either supply you with a replacement screen cable which you will have to fit yourself, or they will fit it for you for a little more money.

But they don't just stop at screen repairs, check out their website to see what else they offer in terms of both repairs and spares.

Pulster still have a active repair service for Psion Netbook EPOC + PRO.

For a flat rate of only €59 Euros they can fix any fault (except broken displays). Sorry to say, the closing lid is not easily exchangeable, you have to remove LCD from upper case lid, which is a bit tricky.
