The Clinic can unlock and unblock your phones, replace lost chargers, update the software and generally restyle your phone. Or that phone you found in that club last night and didn't want to hand in cos it's better than yours....sorry, paranoia coming in again. Although I take the mickey, these places are godsends if your beloved phone IS poorly, and they can generally diagnose and cure on the spot or within the day. I refuse to leave my phone overnight though because, well, I'm not stupid....

The say they offer an unlocking service on all phones but I have yet to put that claim to the test with my old LG phone from three. My advice is to get a cheaper SIM only plan and buy your own mobile direct from somewhere like expansys.com If you have an old phone to sell speak to Mr Khalid who seems to be the most knowledgeable . Not all staff were immediately helpful thus low review score.

Located on Liverpool's Lord Street, this branch of CeX is a decent sized store, albeit on the first…read morefloor you enter the store on it is slightly small. It specialises in selling second-hand technology such as consoles, games and even phones, where it buys from the public and then sells on. From the outside the store looks nicer and modern modern than other CeX stores, ditching the standard red sign and simply writing Entertainment Exchange with the CeX logo on the side, makes it has a nicer, more modern and higher class feel which is a smart idea I hope to see at more stores as that is simply what CeX stand for, to the point where it is one of my favourite parts of the store where it ditches its usual branding which I find hideous to something cooler. Going into the store the modern vibe seems to disappear, it is located up a large step and there are no lifts once you get into the store, so that's worth noting if you have trouble with them. The range of products available was decent, yet the store inside had more of a slightly cheap and more of a typical CeX vibe, not too modern, the overall cleanliness of the store also could have been improved drastically. Prices can be a little hit and miss, with some prices often costing the same to buy "new" elsewhere, CeX argue this is to give the person trading in or selling their used product back to them the best price, but in most prices one of the two prices isn't the best, so it is finding the balance to that. The store looks nice and inviting from the outside and it is in a good central Liverpool location, yet as you go into the store it doesn't scream a modern city centre location which I feel my closer branch Manchester Arndale in a way does, so I feel CeX on Lord Street only deserves a two-star rating due to the issues discussed.

CeX is a store where you can trade in your unwanted electronics goods (as long as they are in full…read moreworking order and in adequate condition) to be resold at the store. All items you trade in are fully tested to meet specific criteria, so there are no shortcomings when buyers decide to purchase pre-owned items. If an item you buy is faulty, there is a refund policy as long as you return the item with the receipt. I have been a registered member with the store for about 3 years and ever since, I have traded in many items (mostly dated mobile phones) as I often like to keep up with the trend when it comes to anything technology related! Once trading in, there is the option of 'exchange' or 'cash' but whichever you choose, there is not much difference in terms of value. It all depends on your preference. It's an ideal store for those who are into gaming, mobile phones, computers and mp3's however it if you decide to buy any of their goods, items will usually be more expensive than the RRP which in a way does not make sense because products are pre-owned; this is actually their way of making profits so be warned. Personally I would suggest this store if you wish to trade in for cash or want to buy second-hand games (these are always cheaper) but everything else is has a bigger price tag.

I paid £70 on Saturday to have the charging port and screen of my iPhone replaced. 3 hours later,…read morefor no apparent reason, the screen stopped working. The phone was hardly used, not dropped or damaged. Took it back today, Monday, as obviously I was sold a cheap or faulty part and after inspecting it, he accused me of dropping the phone. This is 100% not the case and the screen isn't cracked, it's broken inside. Its obvious they are using the cheapest Chinese knock off parts and over charging. His only suggestion was I could pay another £30 for a new screen but even if it stopped working after 1 second he wouldn't do anything. I'm not stupid enough to t tricked twice but now still broken phone, with cheap, faulty parts and I'm £70 out of pocket!! DODGY AVOID DODGY AVOID DODGY AVOID

Service here started off great! I went in with a very cracked screen which they managed to fix and…read morewas perfect. Then less than two weeks later half the connection down my phone stopped working. I refrained from saying it was a "dodgy job" and went in. I explained how I thought they had come lose. They were very happy to take a look free of charge and we would be told they would ring in an hour. 3 hours later no call, thankfully my friend had the number from the last time so we rang them. They started talking amongst themselves for all to hear in a stressful tone and then asked us to call back in 20 minutes. Approximately 10 minutes later they rang my friend back claiming I would need a new screen again. I immediately said no as clearly a correct job had not been done the first time. We went to pick up the phone (under 5 minutes walk away) when we got there I had to show no proof this was my phone, meaning they were prepared to give it to anyone. Further to this they didn't explain what was wrong with my and phone and it was disabled for over an hour. Which was not necessary as they had the password and didn't fix it so there would be no reason for them to try and log into my phone. Would not recommend this service to anyone and am thoroughly disappointed as I know have to pay a lot more to get my phone fixed. Such a waste of money.
