Before you take this in for repair, try taking it outside and turning it upside down and bang the heck out of it. Most times this problem is caused by bits of food and crumbs building up around the magnet that holds the lever down. Clean it out thouroghly and see if it starts working again. As far as who would work on this, most small appliance repair people will do this but as far as costs they can range anywhere from $25.00 to $50.00 depending on who you take it to and that may be cost prohibitive. You can howver try and find the parst for this on line and repair it yourself. parts should include a new electro magnet and all you have to do is mount it and wire it up. Most likely once you clean it it will work again and while your at it check and make sure the electro magnet has not fallen out of place and just is not contacting the metal fram that hodls the toast or on the handle in some models.

    Great advice Dcramer, as this worked on my Cuisinart Classic Metal Toaster, which had serval large chunks of hard toast blocking the left side, which printed the slider from engaging.

Broken joystick

Hello,This is a major problem with this series Kodak camera, as they age the switch either stops working or just falls apart !! The cost to repair would exceed the cost of a newer camera on E-Bay, I would stay away from this style control unless camera is new. Hope this helps.

Light vertical band about 3.5" on left side of screen

The cost to repair this "convergence" issue is about the same as a new TV. Stay away from Toshiba TV's they have allot of problems. I have found for the cost that Vizio (sold at Wally Mart, Costco, Sam's club and others) has excellent prices and few problems.

The rear right-side passenger window goes down, but not back up. I can pull it up and it stays within an inch of the top.

The problem you describe is caused by a failed/broken window operator mechanism. The fix requires the window operator mechanism to be replaced. You can search on Audizine.com for a DIY thread describing replacement of the window operator, or have an independent Audi repair shop or the Audi Dealer replace the window operator mechanism. The parts cost about $150.

I have a GE profile side by side refrigerator and it won't stay cold. What is the approx. cost to replace the compressor so it will get cold again?

First be sure it is actually the compressor at fault. We repair a lot of control boards for these fridges that cause the problem you describe. The cost to repair the control board is $80.

My TV keeps shutting off

Tvtek is on the right track. The remote will not solve the problem. Sounds like a voltage regulator in HV circuit if it only lasts a few seconds. If it stays on for a couple of minutes, beam limiter cicuit is pushing to overload and shutting unit down. Magnavox set not hard to repair, but a 27" set is not cost effective to repair either.
