Most repair shops are “parts changers.” We’re component-level specialists — founded by Sorin, creator of the Electronics Repair School YouTube channel, built to fix the Windows laptops and gaming PCs that others call “unfixable.”
With over 460,000 subscribers and millions of views, Sorin has spent years teaching the world how to diagnose complex electronics. We don’t just follow a script — we use schematic analysis and deep hardware knowledge to find the root cause of a failure.
Our UK lab in Grays, Essex is a dedicated, ESD-safe environment equipped with high-end thermal imaging, oscilloscopes and professional micro-soldering stations — the same gear you see in the videos.
We believe in specialisation. By focusing 100% on Windows hardware — and staying away from MacBooks — we keep a superior inventory of dedicated PC components, from rare MOSFETs to specific BIOS chips for Alienware, Razer and Lenovo Legion. That means faster turnarounds and higher success rates for PC users across the UK.
We show you the fault. Many of our mail-in repairs are featured on our YouTube channel — a level of transparency unseen in the repair industry.
If a motherboard is dead, we don’t just replace it for £800. We find the £1 chip that actually failed and replace it.
Our workflow is optimised for UK mail-in, so your device is handled with the same care you see in our videos — wherever you are.
15+ years in micro-electronics, and the specialist behind 460,000+ subscribers of repair training.
High-end gaming laptops and Windows workstations — boards other shops won’t take on.
No-Fix, No-Fee on standard repairs, and honest diagnostics from start to finish.
“We don’t guess. We analyse.” A world-class diagnostic environment, built specifically for complex Windows motherboard repair — here’s the gear we use to bring ‘dead’ laptops back to life.
Essential for micro-soldering. We work on components smaller than a grain of sand, replacing 0201-sized capacitors and rebuilding torn pads on multi-layer PCBs.
High-resolution infrared cameras let us “see” heat — finding a shorted component on a 19V rail in seconds, faults standard shops spend hours hunting.
Medical-grade Weller/Atten gear applies the exact temperature needed to desolder chips without damaging delicate traces or “popcorning” the PCB.
When a laptop has power but no “brain activity,” we scope the comms between BIOS, Super I/O and CPU. If a signal’s missing, we find out why.
For liquid damage, a multi-stage ultrasonic bath with specialised chemicals strips corrosion from underneath BGA chips where a brush can’t reach.
We “talk” directly to the firmware chips to repair corrupted BIOS, clear ME regions and recover bricked systems.

Long Review - TL;DR: Sorin is excellent and we need more repair shops like him. I spilled liquid on my laptop and shortly after it became stuck in a boot loop. I disconnected the battery myself and sent it to Sorin within a few days, he replied to my initial query within hours, same with the quote. I contacted one other place local to me and they simply said they "would recommend replacing the motherboard" and that "a motherboard repair on this is not worth it as the cost will be more and the success rate is low"—all without having even looked at the laptop in person. I have no doubt that if I went to almost any other place, such as Currys or another standard independent repair shop, they would say the same and suggest either a £1500+ motherboard replacement or refuse the repair altogether. Sorin, on the other hand, contacted me hours after I submitted an enquiry, gave me a quote much lower than I had anticipated, kept that exact same quote once he had diagnosed it, and shipped the laptop back to me less than 48 hours later (less than an hour after I had paid) for me to receive it the next day fully insured. The turnaround was incredibly fast, i had my laptop back with me just 3 days after sending it to him. The laptop display was cleaned and even the somewhat strong smell of the drink I had spilled on it was completely gone. We need more honest people like Sorin who actually do board-level repairs, instead of repair shops that only do part swaps and blanket-quote a new motherboard or part that is hundreds of pounds more than what it would be if they actually did board repairs. This lazy culture that's become so popular results in massive e-waste as people simply buy a new device. Worst of all it causes people to lose hope in economical repairs and lose trust in repairmen. These shops lie and say electronics are not repairable (my experience is just one of thousands), parts must be replaced, or a whole new device may as well be bought, when in reality they just don't have the competency to do it themselves. They have no idea what they are talking about, nor do they have the honesty and decency to tell the customer to go elsewhere because they aren't qualified for board repairs. The only people it benefits are those dishonest repairshops and the large tech companies and stores. The average person does not know that their expensive electronics can (in many cases) be repaired at a fraction of the cost rather than having expensive parts replaced or buying an entirely new device. The biggest issue with those repair shops is the lies they perpetuate (i.e, that it "can't be repaired", or isn't "worth it" - literally what they said to me) rather than simply admitting they are incapable of board repairs. This is a massive issue in the electronics repair space and it's great to see that skilled and honest people like Sorin still exist and are happy to help. We need more people like him. You may also see my laptop on his Youtube channel as he said he did record it. if so i look forward to watching it. Thank you again, Sorin.
Fast reply to my initial enquiry. Quick turnaround of the repair. Asus quoted £500 to replace motherboard when Sorin could simply replace the USB-C ports for 25% of that. 5 weeks on and the laptop is working fine. Very pleased with the service from Sorin and will definitely use again. Highly recommend this service.
An exceptional technician with a deep knowledge and understanding of electronics and especially laptops. Probably the best ‘all round’ technician in the UK. Old school, deep electronics understanding. Ohms Law god.
I started following Sorin's channel on YouTube quite a few years ago. I have learned so much from him and there were a few jobs I couldn't handle that I sent to him. In all cases he was able to fix my customer's devices at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended!
Cel mai bun! The Best there is ! Not only fixing but teaching also.
One of the few very skilled laptop repair, that is humble and had a lot of electronic knowledge. I definitely recommend it!
Honest guy. You can trust that he will repair your electronics if they are fixable.
