Took my laptop into LW because I had a virus that despite trying to uninstall the App made it impossible to use. I took it to them in the morning and by the afternoon they had successfully removed the problem so I can now transfer photos and documents over to my new laptop. Well done LW and would thorough recommend them.

Imploded phone with black screen of… Imploded phone with black screen of death and the Team did all they could to revive. A particular thank you to Dylan, and also to Molly. Replacement phone sourced and set up, and then helped to resolve the transfer of the eSim (not an easy task!). Brilliant help and service every step of the way, and would highly, highly recommend this lovely company to all. Whether for purchase of refurb devices at fair prices, repairs and/or updates.

Amazing place. So knowledgeable. And especially helpful with older customers. Taught my 84 year old Mum had to use WiFi & close her dozens of open apps. (I’m on some so could not find M in M’s android song). Patient and kind. My Mum did not even buy her phone there. Finally there emails with tips are great. Really valuable resource - more than a 2nd hand/gadget repair shop

Software Repair FAQs

My iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo. Will I lose everything?

Not necessarily. We'll always try to repair it without erasing your data first. If a full restore is the only option, we'll explain before going ahead, and an iCloud backup means you can usually get everything back.

Can you unlock a phone if I've forgotten my passcode or Apple ID?

If you've forgotten your passcode, we can help restore your device, though this usually erases it. We can't bypass Apple ID, iCloud Activation Lock or Google account locks. These security features need the account owner's details, but we can help you recover access through Apple or Google.

Can you move everything to my new phone?

Yes, including photos, contacts, messages, WhatsApp chats and apps, even between iPhone and Android, and we can help with eSIM transfers too.

Can you get photos off a broken phone?

Often, yes. Depending on the damage, we may be able to do a temporary repair so your photos and files can be recovered. We'll assess it and give you an honest answer.

How long does a software repair take?

Many phone software fixes and set-ups are done the same day. Computer clean-ups and reinstalls usually take 1–2 working days.

Do you only help people who bought their phone from you?

Not at all. We're happy to help with any phone, tablet or computer, wherever you bought it.
