Need For Professional Repair

Professional repair is needed because

Dental sensors have fragile CMOS chips, micro-soldered cables (≤0.1mm), waterproof seals, which have to be opened with special equipment.
Void warranties
Produce non-diagnostic images, whereas certified repair costs less 60% vs. replacement ($1,200–$2,200 vs. $8,000–$12,000) with 48-hour turnaround and 6-month warranty.
