The golf simulator that lost its footing: a Golfzon Swing Plate control unit
Dubai loves its golf, and not all of it happens on grass. Indoor golf simulators let people play a full round in air-conditioned comfort, even in the middle of summer. Some of them have a clever trick under your feet: a swing plate, a floor platform that moves so the ball can sit on a slope, just like a real course.
On 2 November a black metal box arrived at our Al Quoz workshop. It was the control and power unit for a Golfzon Swing Plate, model JSRC-100-GF1, labelled entirely in Korean, with four motor ports marked M1 to M4 on one side. The fault on the job card was two words long: not working.
Finding the problem
Our technician opened it up the next day. The board would not start at all, so there was no power for the plate. Testing found a short circuit on the board, and the cause was a component that was burnt and physically damaged.
We explained the findings, the customer approved the repair on the same day, and we got to work on the board.
Back in the game
The repaired unit was ready on 6 November and was collected that same afternoon, four days after it came in. The repair carries our 3-month warranty.

Not just laptops
Specialist equipment like this often has no local service partner, and a replacement unit can mean a long wait for shipping from abroad. A board-level repair can be a much faster way to get a simulator, a sports machine or a business system running again.
