Repairing Digital Devices: While we have some capacity to physically repair digital devices, especially older laptops, we are limited in what we can do for a couple of reasons. First, they are so small you often need a specialist microscope for electronics repair. Second, if it’s your main device phone/ computer, it’s best to get it repair by a professional who is doing that work all the time. It’s less risky and it supports the local repair economy. We suggest Tech Direct or DOT Communications (computers only) or the computer/ device repairer on the Thursday market is really good too.
Resurrecting Digital Devices: We will give it a go however if it’s an older device and there’s nothing to lose. If it’s been in your draw for a while then bring it along.
