I've only had one brief experience with this computer repair store and it was on the whole a smooth…read moreexperience. The store is the usual IT experience, items for sales such as desktops, leads, cards and a plethora of accessories. I needed the services of someone with a better knowledge of IT than myself. I had a problem. My laptop had decided it didn't want to work. Admittedly it was approached four years, and for a laptop that's equivalent to our 65 year retirement age. I brought it down and explained my quandary. The staff were pretty such it was a problem with the battery itself and said they would have a look. Two days later and behold, it is reborn. One new battery and £40 later I am free to roam the coffee shops again. The experience was all positive. Staff were helpful and friendly and charged a fair amount for the check-up and new battery.

I'm pretty much surgically attached to my laptop, so when the hard drive died on me a few months…read moreago, I may as well have died with it. Thankfully, I took it into Prestige, mostly because of their location - I could drop it in and pick it up really easily before or after work. They knew pretty quickly that the hard-drive was fried (literally, parts of the PC were cooked!), and took it in to intensive care. It took a few days for them to ring me back to give me the good news, but they had replaced the hard drive and fixed a few other little niggles in the thing, I don't honestly know if the price I was charged was fair, having never had to take a computer to the doctors, but they did a good job. The laptop now works better than ever and I'll definitely be back to give it a check up in six months.

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.

Lurking down this quiet corridor in Smithfield market is one of the better computer repair shops…read morearound. 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.

I do regret not being able to zero stars this behemoth…read more Atrocious service. We bought an iPad in Apple, Florida Mall two weeks ago. We only got to turn it on last Friday. 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.

The staff were brilliant. The guy was sensitive to my obviously crazy upset at the damage to an inanimate object and discussed with me my options for repair. He took it and sent it off, quoting a turnaround of 3 weeks. Within a week it was back, fixed, and they even put a new eye-bit (technical term obviously) on for free, and it was much cheaper than getting a replacement. The guys in here know their stuff and clearly have a passion for what they do and I'll be back in a heartbeat.

Not exactly the best out come but at least I got a bit of resolution. Pros: Very helpful staff. Cons: Smallish shop.

My iPhone lightning cable died! :-(…read more I couldn't charge my phone which was a travesty for me - I'm an iPhone addict. Plus I wasn't able to get to the city centre Apple Shop for a few days. Ordering online was an option but I needed it right NOW. My sister wisely and calmly suggested I try the electronics/computer shop in Queen's Students Union as it was close by. Thank goodness I did. SRL Electrics is a life saver - the guys in the shop are super. They showed me a range of lightning cables and allowed me to try them in store. I purchased an iWires lightning connector cable, which is slightly cheaper than the iPhone version and actually seems much better quality! It works brilliantly! Plus they come in different colours of red, blue and green - though sadly no pink. I'll definitely return to SRL Electrics again and this is due to the brilliant staff who kindly spent so much time explaining everything to technologically clueless me. They stock a full range of electrical items including TV's, washing machines, music playing devices, headphones, SIM cards, cables and batteries etc. Plus they also do PC and laptop repairs. I'll definitely be back.

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.

I immediately thought of the Repair Lounge down to the their catchy radio ads. First up, it's pretty easy to find, opposite the junction of Tates Avenue on the Lisburn Road. If you're driving park on one of the many side streets rather than trying to get a space on the Lisburn Road. The shop itself is minimal, you walk in and you are presented with platformed area, don't let this put you off, that's where the phone fixers sit. When I went in (about 3pm on a Monday) the two guys were noticeably busy, one on the phone and one in the middle of dissecting an iPhone but I waited patiently. Once they were free I asked how much and how long it would take to get my phone screen repaired. They then explained to me that it varied from £100 - £140 depending on the quality of the glass used for the screen. This didn't put me off as I expected it to be in that area. What did put me off was the wait - they explained that they had a huge back log of phones to repair and with Monday being delivery day I couldn't get it repaired straight away. This wait made me go somewhere else, but the experience wasn't bad at all. I understand that it's a skilled job to fix these devices and that Monday is their busiest day - especially after all the weekend smashes! Cool set up and really knowledgeable staff - I'll be back no doubt!
