Common fixes. Difficult faults.

I handle the straightforward work and the jobs that need board-level diagnosis, component replacement or damaged-trace repair. Tell me the symptoms and I will give you a clear first answer.

UK mail-in only. There are no walk-ins or public drop-offs, and you should not post a device until I accept the request.

What I repair

If your exact fault is not listed, send a request. A useful description matters more than choosing the perfect category.

Down to the fault, not just the part.

I inspect the symptoms, identify the failed area and explain whether the sensible route is a normal part replacement, a board repair or no repair at all. Where a port has lifted pads or torn traces, that extra reconstruction is quoted before I continue.

How parts and proof work

Clear boundaries protect the device.

I do not offer specialist data recovery, password or security bypasses, piracy or circumvention work. I also will not ask you to post a device with a swollen, punctured, burnt, smoking, hot or otherwise unsafe battery.

Liquid-damage cleaning is an attempt to stabilise and assess the device, not a promise that it will recover. Any replacement parts or further board work are quoted separately.

Tell me what has gone wrong.

I normally reply within one working day. A request is not an acceptance, so keep the device with you until I confirm the next step.
