Unlike traditional charging ports, with USB C, in some cases the motherboard ‘tracks’ are ripped off due to the port being forced in, and the motherboard needs repair. In these cases, there is an additional fee of up to £49 to cover the additional work, but you will be informed first.
This is almost always the case on Huawei models due to poor engineering.
Our fixed fee includes:
All our repairs fall within fixed pricing bands, which also include:
- VAT
- 1 Year Guarantee for the same issue
- Diagnostics -we will assess the issue and its cause. Unlike shops that operate on a no fix no fee model or free diagnostics, we will spend as long as it takes, whether its minutes, or days of research on the most complex issues, to repair your issue.
- Repair – whatever work is required by our technicians, whether software or hardware, is covered by the fixed labour fee (excluding data backup/recovery)
With over a decade of experience, we’ve successfully repaired every major PC make & model, for a wide range of issues including liquid damage, power failures, screen and keyboard repairs, and so much more. We are trusted by thousands of customers both locally and nationwide, and have dealt with individuals and businesses alike for all sorts of issues. Numerous repair shops also outsource repairs to us.
We also specialise in computer upgrades and building custom PCs tailored to your specifications, from budget-friendly gaming rigs to high-performance video editing systems costing thousands of pounds.
Technicians with years of experience
Our in-house computer repair technicians have many years of experience repairing many different makes and models of computers, laptops, netbooks & PCs.
We differ from many other laptop and pc repair companies, as we perform repairs down to a component level using micro-soldering under a microscope to give you the best repair price.
If you are experiencing any problems that are not listed below, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you and provide a quote.
We will give you free honest advice as to what your repair options are and how much it will cost.
- Priority Assessment (£20) – Have your PC assessed within 24 hours – or same day where possible. While repairs are done in order, this service ensures a swift diagnosis, allowing us to begin the process without delay, particularly where parts must be ordered.
- Cables and accessories not required – for laptops, please bring a power cable, staff will advise if this is required for the repair or not.
- No upfront payment is required – payment can be made on collection, via credit/debit card, bank transfer, cash, or online via Stripe.
- If the repair is cancelled or the device is beyond repair, we charge half the labour cost as a diagnostic fee.
- If you require data backup/data recovery as part of the repair, this is an additional cost.
- Windows 11 now forces Bitlocker encryption on – any type of hardware repair can trigger Bitlocker asking for a recovery key. You are responsible for safe keeping of the recovery key, it may be under your Microsoft account (see:https://aka.ms/recoverykey) If you lose this key, you may lose all your data.

1 - Bring in your device, anytime
You will be quoted exactly the same as on our website - a fixed labour fee. There is no need for us to see your device to quote you, we just need a simple description of the fault.
2 - Receive a call/email update
We will assess your device, and call/email you with an update - or to say your device is repaired. Depending on complexity and if parts are required, this can be 1-5 working days.
3 - Collect your repaired device
Once any parts have been authorised and your device is repaired, you can collect your computer/laptop. We accept card, cash or bank transfer - you can even pay online before collection.

Under the microscope… see what we see!
Possessing tools like a microscope and thermal camera allow us to conduct repairs to a standard that many shops are not able to, such as motherboard repair
This PS5 was brought in as there was no display on the TV. Come to find out that it was liquid damaged, and a component in the power supply had blown up!
Fortunately, we offer motherboard repair and can even repair power supplies, so this one will be back to the customer in full working order in no time

This PS5 came in for no power. We injected voltage onto the main power line, and then using our thermal camera, found a capacitor glowing - indicating a short circuit. If a shop does not have such specialist tools, they may very well tell you your console is unrepairable - when it really isn`t! #ps5 #boardrepair

Overheating in the PS5 is a common issue caused by a design flaw where the liquid metal used for cooling can shift due to gravity. To properly resolve this, we don’t just replace the liquid metal—we also polish the APU with a specialised compound, ensuring a clean surface for optimal heat transfer before applying the new liquid metal. #ps5 #liquidmetal

This gaming MSI laptop came in with display issues. Unfortunately, MSI are quite poorly built and in this case it was a graphics card failure that was causing the problem. Although the GPU cannot be replaced, we managed to remove the drivers and prevent them from being installed again allowing the customer to use their laptop as normal.

This is the second time we have now had a customer bring in an iMac repaired by the same competitor - they used hot glue instead of the proper adhesive around the display, and they used an off-brand SSD that failed in less than a year. All the vents are also clogged with dust and weren`t cleaned.
It is unacceptable to fit such low-quality parts for customers who could then lose their data as a result, and use hot glue on such a precisely designed machine.

Another shop fixed this iMac before and used hot glue/silicone to reattach the screen, not genuine Apple adhesive strips!
When picking a shop to repair your Apple product, make sure they specialise in Apple repairs so they don’t do a bodge job like this! The official adhesive is specially designed and cut, so that it holds the display securely, whilst allowing the iMac to be opened again for service.

This USB C port was completely ripped off when the laptop was dropped while charging. The customer thought it was a write-off and time to get another one. After rebuilding the tracks on the motherboard, and soldering on a new port, its as good as new and lives to see another day. #soldering #righttorepair
