Hello All. Apologies for the radio silence on the page. I've still been working behind the scenes, but with my full time job and family too, it's left me little to no time to post here.

This is just to say that as windows 10 is due to be unsupported from the 14th October 2025, I am getting increasing calls for upgrades for operating systems and computer's. If you need any assistance with computers or mobile tech, drop me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you, Jon

My apologies everyone. I'm currently having technical issues of my own and I'm waiting on a replacement phone. Any emails and messages through here will be answered asap but please expect a slight delay as I'm not always near a computer.

Please be aware! There is a well known scam going around that someone may have just tried with me. They asked if I they could use my phone number to receive a verification code to gain access to their own Facebook account on a new device. In truth, they could be trying to gain access to your account and all they need is the verification code. Please be vigilant and don't trust any messages..even from friends or family. Stay safe everyone.

I had an interesting job on the bench yesterday. I was asked to repair a USB wireless dongle that was paired with an educational display belonging to a local meithrin (nursery for the non welsh speakers). I was told that they had been to another local repairer first only to be turned away as they had no one qualified to solder!?! Confusing to say the least. It was brought to me and fixed within 24hrs. The picture is the newly soldered connections on the back of a USB3 plug. Quite a tidy job if i do say so myself and possibly leading to a lot more work from the same group of customers. All the best everyone :)

This is one of the most common calls I get for support. Please be careful everyone.

Some of the most common scams reported to Action Fraud involve fraudsters connecting remotely to a victim's computer.

⚠️Never allow remote access to your computer following an unsolicited call, text message or browser pop-up.
