💚 We've been a little busy lately... and the stock keeps arriving! 👀

Over the last few weeks we've added a huge range of tech, parts, tools and accessories to our shelves, with something to suit pretty much every budget.

We're delighted to share that much of it has come from Mike at Barwell computer repair as he begins the next chapter. Mike has built a respected business over many years, and we're incredibly grateful for the trust he's placed in us by allowing us to take on a huge amount of his stock, equipment and tools.

Whether you're after a laptop, PC parts, storage upgrades, cables, networking gear, security equipment or just a bargain, there's a good chance we've got something for you.

We're gradually working through everything and adding more stock online, so if you're looking for something specific just drop us a message and we'll happily check what's available.

Ever wondered what actually happens when you send your PS5, Xbox or laptop in for repair? 👀

Most repair shops just say "we fixed it" and hand it back. That's not good enough for me.

🔧 An interactive repair walkthrough.

Pick your repair type, click through every single stage, and see exactly what I do. Step by step. No mystery. No vague "it's been repaired". Just complete transparency.

Covers everything I do:

🎮 PS5 HDMI repair
🕹️ Xbox HDMI repair
🎯 Controller repair (drift, triggers, buttons)
🔴 Nintendo Switch repair
📱 Phone & tablet repair
💻 Laptop repair
🖥️ Custom PC builds
🔌 Board-level diagnostics
💾 Data recovery
💨 Console deep clean
🌐 Website design & build

Every stage. Every step. Exactly what happens to your device while it's with me.

Quick update.
I'm out today for most of it so my replies will be terrible. So I'll get back to all your broken tech needs later on.
Thanks

Final push on the digital take over. Just checked phone contacts and I've got nearly 700 contacts associated with the business to hand over and close to 120 emails and names. The new company were in negotiations with seem like a really nice group. I hope you will make them feel welcome. As part of the deal agreed any jobs going forward after 5th June 2026 will be handled by them. My phone will remain active. But eventually they will take over full control. Any new business after that point will be directed to them. I won't be now or in the future accounted with this or take on any future business with computer equipment . I will be mainly working with Barwell Trailers and doing electric work on trailers as a part time venture while I'm recovering. Ctrl Alt Fix should be taking my stock on over the next few weeks. They have agreed a price to take all my supplies. Stock and tools. I will be announcing the new buyers early next week after I've completed some paperwork.

Thanks
Mike

Retro job today. Can anyone guess what it is ? 🤔 😉

24/05/2026

The heat is frying your tech and you might not even know it.
If your PS5 fan sounds like it's about to take off, your laptop is burning your legs, or your PC keeps crashing out of nowhere — the heatwave is probably the reason.
Here's what's actually happening 👇
When room temps hit 30 degrees, your console and PC are already starting from a disadvantage. Add dust-clogged vents and dried-out thermal paste and you've got a recipe for thermal shutdowns, throttled performance, and in the worst case — permanent damage.
The most common thing we see at Ctrl Alt Fix this time of year is overheating consoles and laptops that just need a proper clean and fresh thermal paste. It takes us about an hour and the difference is night and day.
🔧 What we can do:
Full internal clean (dust removal)
Fresh thermal paste on CPU/GPU
Fan inspection and test
Temperature check under load
Free local pickup in Rochdale
Don't wait until it shuts off mid-game or corrupts your save data. Get it checked now before the damage is permanent.
