Frequently Asked Questions
How the service works
- You contact us to explain the symptoms
- We'll visit you at home or at work to make a thorough diagnosis of the problem - if we can fix it there and then we will, otherwise we'll pick the equipment up and take it to our workshop
- Before we start work we'll give you an estimate of how much the repair is likely to cost - at this point you can make a decision to go ahead with the repair or not. If you decide not to, all you'll pay is our diagnostic charge of £79.99 - if you go ahead with the repair we we'll waive this diagnostic fee
- If you go ahead with the repair, we'll repair it there and then and if this isn't possible we'll take the equipment away and return it working within 28 days with a full service report
- If we can't repair the equipment, all you'll pay is a one off diagnsotic charge of £79.99 (plus any parts) and you can opt to use our data recovery service to retrieve all your files and documents from the hard drive (further information is available from our data recovery and data solutions section
