Mplex is a computer repair shop inside the Smithfield Market just at the edge of North Belfast. I…read morehave been here a lot of times because I am the worlds clumsiest man and have managed to drop/kick/spill water on every computer I've ever managed to have! The guys who work there are really, really helpful and always manage to fix any problems with my computer or die trying! Their prices are based on labour and parts supplied. They charge the parts to cost and the labour is always very reasonable. Its the type of place that's going to need people to return for their services so they don't want to annoy anyone or rip them off. I've had experiences with the larger chain store repair shops such as Tech Guys in PC world and it just doesn't compare for price and quality of service. Definitely recommended.

With computers being a bit of a 'dark science' for me I always felt a bit suspicious when in the past I was quoted certain amounts for repairs and replacement parts. Being baffled with jargon seemed to be the sales technique so it was with some trepidation I lugged my fried desktop down to them. The shop itself is quite big with a small 'internet area' for browsing etc and there was a fair selection of computers and accessories for sale. I basically wanted to see what could be salvaged off my hard drive and the guy said it would be a simple (woohoo) operation with no definite guaranteed outcome. A week later he rang me to say he'd got the hard drive out intact and I could simply pop it into my new desktop whenever I got one and the data should be there. Result especially as I thought I wouldn't be able to get the data off or would have to pay big money for an expensive salvage operation. Great service and very helpful, definitely worth the trip downtown. Pros: Clear talking jargon free staff. Cons: Not the easiest to find.

Luckily these guys are round the corner, and sorted me out when my laptop decided to go on strike. They didn't mock me for my pathetic description as to what was wrong, and were able to give me a diagnosis I actually understood. They cleaned my drive (or something!) and had it back to me the next day, running better than it had in years. Even better the cost was in no way scary. I hope I don't need them again, but the moment my tech starts misbehaving I'll be back.

I left my Toshiba laptop computer in with these people in about October 2012 to be repaired. When…read moreI called about a week later, they said it would cost £160 to get fixed, £40 for a replacement hinge and £100 to repair something internally. I said I could not afford that at the moment and would take my computer and come back when I had the money. The man told me I could safely leave my computer with them until I had the money to fix it and this I did. When I got Christmas over I went back to the shop. I was told they didn't have my computer there but he would find out where it was and ring me. He didnt but I called in again and was told that it was up in their Glengormley warehouse and they would get it down for next week. Next week I called and the guy said he still hadn't received it back. I called the following week and he told me he had got it back but they couldn't fix it and there was no point in me taking it and he could sell me a second hand one. I told him no I wanted my own computer and would try elsewhere to get it fixed. He insisted that my computer was useless and not worth me taking back from him. I told him no I wanted my own computer. He told me to come back the following week. I came back the following week and was told he was waiting for a part for it from Dublin. I was baffled as they were not fixing it so what was the part. Anyway I was suspicious all along that they had before Christmas removed parts from my computer, ie dissected my computer and were now trying to put it together again. He told me he would ring me but of course he didn't so I called in the next week; another man was there who said nothing and just handed me back my computer. I dreaded what state it might be in. I took it to a repair agent, whom I knew to be reputable. He told me that whoever worked on it last had damaged the hard-drive beyond repair and that the motherboard was damaged. I was not surprised that the inside of my computer was destroyed and was dubious that the hard-drive was even mine. I suspect that after removing my good hard-drive and using it, they stuck an old faulty hard-drive into my computer, as my hard-drive was perfect when it went into their shop. I am writing this to warn others not to use these cheaters, who stole the hard-drive out of my computer and handed me back a computer which is scrap.

A shop which restored my faith in customer service one day when I dropped in to ask if they had any…read morewatch batteries. I'd just been told by another hardware shop up the road that they couldn't take out the defunct watch battery for me for insurance reasons which sounded excessive for my little old cheap watch. Admittedly I wasn't very au fait with all this because the need to replace a watch battery is an extremely rare occurrence for me. For some watches you do need a jeweller to take the battery out which is a different matter. Anyway I'd found the whole exchange frustrating so I wasn't hopeful when I went into AMC Service Centre. Totally different story, however, because the man smiled, immediately reached for a battery and sorted out the whole thing in no time, first checking if my watch needed a jeweller, immediately recommending somewhere if I did, all for £2.50. Otherwise, AMC Service Centre is a small, old fashioned sort of place that specialises in vacuum cleaner repairs and part with other hardware/electrical suppliers. If my experience is an indication of the rest the business it's a gem.

Inconvienient, however, is the fact that there isn't any back access to the shop when you are hauling a heavy computer down the road. However they sorted out my machine with efficiency and swiftness, promptly letting me know as soon as it was ready. The bill came to £80. Lately I've inquired about getting second hand monitors which also started at about £80, which isn't the cheapest you can find, however, they seem to be a reliable outfit quality wise and are pleasant to deal with.

I'm being a little to mean on these guys. I'm sure people do need these stores from time to time but personally, I just can get away from the stigma around them. On this particular store, the inside just looks quite strange. In the corner, they appear to be selling random power tools and domestic cleaning products and there's a desk with two chairs right in the middle of the room. Sitting in that chair I'd imagine is quite similar to sitting in front of the head master in his office at school.

Housed in the same shop premises as East End Video, Inkside sell the cheapest printer cartridges…read morethat I have found for a while at £3.75 each, substitutes of course. They had the cartridge type that I needed though I couldn't tell you exactly how wide their range of inks is for all the different printers is but as they do specialise in cartridges, I would expect there to be a comprehensive supply and it's certainly worth a visit just for the price alone. There are also supplies of photographic paper in the shop too, which happens to be immaculately clean and pleasant. If you've done your ink purchase you can always, I suppose, turn round and look through the DVDs in the East End Video store as both businesses run under the same, very small, roof.

It kept turning itself off and despite being fully powered up it said it was out of power. Simply it's clear it's not fit for purpose. We rolled up to Apple Belfast with a piece of crap not fit for purpose to be asked if we had made an appointment to see a technician. So my question was, are you having a laugh? If I went into any other business having bought something not fit for purpose we would get an apology and an immediate replacement but not Apple. Their approach was to make an appointment for us. Fortunately it was 30 minutes hence. It was 11:30am and I determined I'd give it an hour and leave to leave it to the credit card company to refund us. They sell us a piece of broken crap and keep us waiting to suit their procedures. Now there's a common expression in these parts 'arsin about'. This store had 3 or 4 staff just arsin about. Any one of them could simply have replaced the broken pad. At about noon we got a text to say our appointment was imminent but 20 more minutes would pass to get attention from Vivienne - a charmer who remained charming when I put to him that this was not a technical issue, rather it was simply a replacement and I had no intention of accepting a repair. He briefly ran a few tests and replaced the broken iPad which could have and should have been done within 5 minutes of our going in the door. Not wasting over an hour of our time. It's not disabled friendly either as the only seats are high rise stools.

Their attitude is unhelpful, they have a highly inflated view of themselves and their processes are not at all customer focussed. I was there for 1 hour 40 minutes, back to John Lewis I think. Apple need to carryout an audit on this store to get it back to an acceptable standard. I am very disappointed again with the iPhone 14 pro and the store.
