Assessment for photos, documents and files held on damaged, liquid-exposed or non-starting devices. Assessment for important photos and files on damaged or dead devices. The priority is agreed first: recover files, stabilise the original device or return it to reliable daily use. Do not reset, restore or update a failing device when irreplaceable data is the main concern. The final route, price and expected timing are agreed after model, condition and part availability are confirmed. The priority is agreed first: recover files, stabilise the original device or return it to reliable daily use. The technician begins with the reported symptom, then checks related functions so the recommended work addresses evidence rather than the most obvious part. Do not reset, restore or update a failing device when irreplaceable data is the main concern. Include when the fault began, whether it changes with movement or temperature, recent software changes, and anything another repairer has already attempted. Part availability and repairability depend on the exact model and condition. You should receive a clear proposed scope and price before material work starts, with further approval requested if inspection reveals a different fault or additional damage. After the agreed work, relevant functions are checked as far as the device condition permits. Keep the invoice and warranty information, inspect the device at collection, and report a related concern promptly so it can be reassessed. Photos, business documents, authenticator data and local-only files can have very different priorities. Explain exactly what is irreplaceable and whether any cloud or computer backup exists. That lets the technician avoid risky steps that might be acceptable on an ordinary repair but unacceptable when the only copy of important data is on the damaged device. Factory resets, restores and major updates can destroy the very data a recovery attempt is meant to protect. If the device is unstable, liquid-damaged or failing storage tests, stop experimenting once the data becomes the priority and preserve the original state for assessment. Many current phones and computers encrypt storage using keys tied to the original hardware and account credentials. In those cases, repairing the original board enough to boot can be more valuable than physically moving a storage chip. Recovery possibilities therefore depend heavily on the exact model and the type of failure. Start typing an iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel, Huawei, MacBook, laptop, tablet or console model. Can’t find it? Type the model manually in the booking form or bring it in for identification. No recovery outcome can be guaranteed. Avoid repeated charging, resets or software restores on a failing device. Search by the name written on the device, box or settings screen. Choose the symptom and add anything useful in the booking notes. Select Union Street or Gloucester Road and a preferred slot.

The priority is agreed first: recover files, stabilise the original device or return it to reliable daily use. That is why the exact model and related functions are checked before the repair is treated as a simple part replacement. The repaired function and closely related systems should be checked as far as the condition of the device permits. Any pre-existing fault that limits testing should be recorded. The exact model, reported symptom, visible condition and related functions are checked before a repair route is confirmed. Testing helps avoid replacing a part that does not address the cause. Model variant, part choice, stock, frame or housing condition, previous work and additional faults found during inspection can affect price. Material changes should be authorised before work continues. Common repairs may be available the same day when parts and capacity allow. Complex diagnosis, liquid damage, data work and board repair generally need longer. Back up important data where possible, identify the exact model and note liquid, impact, previous repair and intermittent symptoms. No. Walk-ins are welcome at Union Street and Gloucester Road. Booking helps the team prepare and gives you a preferred time. The website records a preferred slot. The team confirms availability after checking the fault, parts and workshop capacity. Immediate steps after water or drink exposure, common mistakes to avoid and what professional inspection can reveal. How to choose a repair strategy when the photos and files matter more than returning the damaged device to daily use. Questions to ask about diagnosis, parts, timing, warranty, data and collection before authorising a repair. A better repair decision starts with the right information, not just a price. For charging, no-power and intermittent faults, the charger and cable being used can be part of the evidence. Bring them when agreed with the team. A data-critical MacBook or laptop may need a different diagnostic strategy from a machine where the operating system can safely be reinstalled. Corrosion, hinge damage, previous board repair and missing internal parts can change both feasibility and price. Accurate history helps the technician avoid repeating failed work. Consider the computer’s performance, software support, storage, battery, screen and overall condition—not just the headline cost of the current fault.
