What BytePC’s can assess
Repair, recovery and upgrade services
A useful repair starts with the symptoms and the outcome you need. Exact availability, parts, cost and timing depend on the model and the fault, so the next step is an assessment rather than an online promise.

The process
From symptoms to a sensible next step
Describe
Tell us what changed, what you have tried and what outcome matters.
Assess
The computer and fault are examined before a repair is promised.
Agree
Options, parts and important risks are discussed before work proceeds.
Test
The completed work is checked and practical follow-up notes are provided.
Before you bring it in
- Back up important files if the computer is still usable.
- Bring the correct power adaptor and any accessory involved in the fault.
- Note the make, model, symptoms and when the problem began.
- Tell us before work begins if particular files or software are essential.
- Do not send passwords, recovery keys or payment details through the website.
Important data note
Data recovery cannot be guaranteed. Continued use of a failing drive can reduce the chance of recovery. Turn the computer off if a drive is clicking, disappearing or showing serious read errors, then ask for advice. Some faults require a specialist recovery laboratory.
A Windows reinstall can remove programs and data. The scope of any backup or transfer should be agreed before the reinstall begins.
Discuss your computer problem
Include the device model, symptoms, when they began and whether important files are involved. We can then discuss the next step for your computer.
