Tips to keep you safe online:
To keep yourself safe online, the integrated Anti-virus on Windows 10/11 (Windows Security) is sufficient for the vast majority of users. For added security, ESET or Kaspersky are the best options.
We recommend using a powerful adblocker, namely uBlock Origin on both Windows and macOS to block malicious pop-ups and adverts online.
You do not need an AntiVirus on macOS. CleanMyMac X is scareware, and we advise against it. It does not provide any useful functions for your Mac.
Our Repair Process
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!
Alongside are some photos of our latest jobs - all of which were successfully repaired.
Possessing tools like a microscope and thermal camera allow us to conduct repairs to a standard that many shops are not able to, and in the case of Apple Macs - allows us to repair your existing logic board, saving you hundreds of pounds as well as your precious data.
Our laminar flow hood filters the surrounding air to such a degree that it can be used for forensic DNA analysis! This allows us to refurbish MacBook screens to the highest standard, without letting in dust from ambient surroundings. #macbookrepair

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.

Another MacBook Air M2 screen is successfully repaired. This one suffered from liquid damage, so we replaced the backlight sheets and LCD, and it now looks as good as new. #MacBookRepair #RightToRepair #MacScreenRepair #Bournemouth

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

This PS5 came in due to randomly turning off. Like many we have seen, in some cases, standing up the console causes the liquid metal to drip down over time, and cause air gaps between the processor and heatsink. Another easy fix for the bits team. #repair #bournemouth

This Mac was liquid damage and used for a year after, causing severe corrosion and liquid damage. After a specialist ultrasonic clean, it looks like new.
Now, it is under the microscope for a component-level repair. #righttorepair #waterdamage #MacBookRepair

This PS5 came in for a flickering screen. On this occasion, the HDMI port was OK, but the motherboard was damaged, and the tracks to the port were all ripped off.
Thanks to our #Amscope #microscope we are able to repair these fine tracks that are under 1mm in width each!

Using our specialist thermal imaging camera, we can search for short circuits invisible to the naked eye.
In this case, the customer lost their data due to a design flaw on the A1990 MacBook Pro, which electrocuted the SSD storage chips 😢 #MacBookRepair

Woops! A customer unfortunately spilled paint onto his MacBook whilst decorating.
Don`t worry, after logic board repair under a microscope, and a specialist ultrasonic clean, it was back up and running in no time!

This MacBook Pro 2012 model had a cup of water spilled on it, and the customer kept using it causing severe corrosion.
Despite being classed as a `vintage` model this MacBook was cleaned and fixed up in no time and back in the customer`s hands 🙂

This is by far the worst MacBook we`ve ever seen - poor thing! It was run over by a car and left outdoors in severe rain after the customer lost it.
Challenge accepted.

This sad MacBook Air M2 was liquid-damaged a month after release and no longer powered on 😢 The customer had no Apple Care and had #bournemouthuniversity work on it.
It was successfully repaired and back in the customer`s hands a few days later! #MacBookRepair

According to 🍎 this customer needed a new logic board... we don`t think so! This customer paid the labour fee, and had their Mac back next day - no data lost, and for a fraction of the price!

This customer was quoted £700+ for a logic board replacement at Apple due to water damage. With us, they paid £199.
Whats more, we saved hundreds of precious photos that weren`t backed up, which they would`ve lost with Apple.
