They have a shop on Midland Raod just off Old Market and also on Gloucester Road in Bishopston. When my last computer broke down I used these guys for a bit f advice. Unfortunately there was no chance of repairing it, but they were very helpful and gave a number of other options to proceed with, including offering me their stock of computers to choose from. If you are having problems, if its a software issue they'll be able to fix it remotely, by gaining access to your computer and then fixing the problem from their office (obviously you have to give consent for this and they'll stay on the phone with you whilst they're fixing it). I reckon that's a really good idea and saves on a lot of cost (both for the customer and the company). Whilst this can help sort out the issue, if it's a hardware roblem then they'll have to attend your house or take the computer away for repair. Either way, their an impressive small outfit and worth a try.

We visited this place when my mum's computer got a virus…read more The staff were very helpful in giving us advice to fix it and in the end we decided to leave the computer with them to fix for us, they had it for a day and called back to say it was fixed. Fast, efficient service, not too pricey, overall very good.

I'm glad I don't inhabit Sim Tech World, and instead lead a rustic existence, but I have had reason…read moreof late to thank my lucky stars that shops like Sim Tech World exist. Like so many before me, I managed to drop my iPhone several times before the screen ultimately smashed. It was of course, only a matter of time before this was inevitably going to happen... but did I think to take out insurance to protect myself in this eventuality? Well, yes I did... But whether I got round to actually doing it is an entirely different matter! So, with the exorbitant cost of getting Apple to fix it for me, I began a quest that lasted well over a month to find a indie mobile phone shop like Sim Tech World that would do it cheaper. It ultimately cost a staggering £80.00 to get the screen replaced, but I had, in the meantime, damaged the LCD screen, making the job more expensive, (well, it was actually my neighbours cat jumping directly onto the broken screen in an attempt to catch a moth that put paid to the LCD screen in reality...) I didn't end up using Sim Tech World, but it certainly made me aware of their existence. They are seemingly a tight little business, that specialises in mobiles and home computing, including PC and Apple laptops, games consoles etc, as well as digital cameras; essentially all of your portable electronics that you can bring into the shop for attention, (thy don't do home visits). They also call themselves an 'entertainment exchange', which, as the name suggests, means that they sell second user kit as well.

There expertise can help fix mobile phone faults, problems with ipods, ipads, apple products, xbox 360s, playstations, PC's and laptops. A very useful technical fix is there mobile phone unlocking service. The Sim Tek people aim to fix the phone while you wait rather than the 28 day service most high street stores offer. If you're in a pinch and need something fixed quickly without the extra cost of sending it away to be looked at Sim Tek offer the best service around. The shop itself is very small and over cluttered, which is to be expected of a electronic repair shop the outside advertises all the different services they perform and that leaves little room to let light in, so it's a bit dingy inside.

sfx Tech takes me back to a past incarnation of mine. When I first set out into the world I…read moreinadvertently ended up in the computer industry... mainframes to be precise. After moving around a little I finally settled comfortably in the second user market. It suited my desire to live sustainably, (I used to obsess about the damage we were doing to the planet way before I was obliged to, i.e. before they even recycled our rubbish, let alone considered penalising us for putting recyclable waste in our landfill refuse). I really like these little shop based second user companies that cater to the domestic market that are springing up around the place. I guess that it's the more stringent rulings governing the disposal of commercial technical waste that is forcing companies to find more responsible means of disposing of their obsolete technology, some of which may be only a year old. This is where sfx Tech comes into it's own. They can turn this stock around, selling it on as is or applying a little technical wizardry they can adapt it for the home user market. Great. It means affordable computing for all and a green plant. Of course, they can also repair an existing system, if you have one already, and there's no need to upgrade to a faster or bigger model. The also retail new kit which is likely to be predominantly bankrupt stock, as well as consumables like cartridges etc.

I contacted a couple of other laptop repair places in Bristol - to be quoted a very high hourly rate by one, and "I'm too busy to help you" from the other. Compuwave were close enough to my home and work for me to pop in and discuss my problem before I had to take in my laptop. I took my laptop in on my next trip to work, and picked it up again on the way home. The helpful staff explained how they had cleaned out the dust from inside the fan, and they didn't think it would need the new fan, but if it did, they had located the part number, and would only charge me for the part itself if I needed it. I was only charged for an hour's labour for the cleaning too. Top marks! I've never had to have a laptop repaired before, and although I hope never to have to again, I would definitely bring my laptop back to Compuwave.
