Do you charge just to look at it?

No. The quote is free, and free to walk away from.

Can you get my files back?

It depends on the drive. If it is a software problem the files are usually fine; if the drive has physically failed, that is specialist work and we will tell you honestly rather than experiment on the only copy you have.

Do you work on Apple computers?

Tell us the model and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can take on.

Message us and ask. It depends on the job and where you are.

Do you guarantee the work?

Ninety days on the work done and on parts we supplied.

Is my device insured while you have it?

Yes. Customer devices are insured while they are at our Wakefield workshop. They are stored securely and handled with care, and if one were ever lost or damaged through our fault, we would repair it, replace it or pay its fair value.

Card, contactless, cash or bank transfer, or pay with Klarna. Contactless includes Apple Pay, Google Pay and the Klarna Card. To pay with Klarna, ask us for a secure payment link. It also takes card, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

PS5 storage full? Your options explained

Big games and their updates fill a PS5 quickly. There are three ways to make room, and only one of them gives you more space for PS5 games.

1. See what is actually using the space

Go to Settings → Storage → Console storage → Games and apps. Sort by size and look for games you have finished or not played in months. Deleting a game keeps your saves on the console (and in the cloud if you have PlayStation Plus), so you can download it again later.

Captures (screenshots and video clips) can quietly take a lot of room too. They are under Media Gallery in the same menu.

2. Move PS4 games to a USB drive

A USB hard drive or SSD plugged into the back of the PS5 can be set up as extended storage. PS4 games can be stored and played straight from it, which frees room on the internal drive.

PS5 games can be stored on a USB drive but not played from it: they have to be copied back to internal or M.2 storage first. It is a good shelf, not a fix for running out of PS5 space.

3. Add an M.2 SSD (more room for PS5 games)

Every PS5 (original, Digital, Slim and Pro) has a slot for a second internal drive. Games run from it just as they do from the built-in storage, and nothing on the console is deleted when one is fitted.

The drive has to meet Sony's requirements:

An M.2 NVMe SSD on PCIe Gen 4 (a SATA M.2 drive will not work)
Between 250GB and 8TB
Sony recommends a read speed of 5,500MB/s or faster
It needs cooling: a heatsink, either built onto the drive or fitted separately, that fits the slot's height

Check the exact model before you buy. Drives that look identical in listings can differ in speed and heatsink height. If you are not sure, send us the link and we will tell you whether it fits.

What we charge

We fit drives to the PS5, Slim and Pro for a fixed labour price (see the price list). You can bring your own drive, or we can supply the drive and heatsink at retail price. We check the drive is compatible before anything is opened. Full details are on the PS5 storage upgrade page.
