What are Hardware Repair Services?

Our team of factory-trained, and experienced technicians are incredibly efficient and can repair more than 3,000 units per month. 

What hardware repair services do Mercom offer? 


At Mercom we offer hardware repairs services on a wide range of devices. These include barcode and POS equipment, handheld devices, laptops, printers, monitors, and circuit boards. Our warranty covers the entire unit, not only the specific issue that we repaired.

Why are hardware repair services needed?
