Affordable Tech
Thought the COVID Lockdown I have been recycling computers/tech and getting them in to the the local schools. Now i'm still recycling them but making them affordable. All tech is listed on Market Place (Facebook) but message me if you are after anything. Please note these are not new so expect issues with them.
Please do NOT send tech to landfill without wiping your tech or having the hard drive removed.

Collection of Tech is now £30 and data transfer can be arranged. Data transfer starts at £30 from working or non working computers. USB stick is provided either USB C or classic USB 3
How it works
People donate tech to me and reset it. Then find people in need of tech. My aim is to get these recycled tech in to the hands of those in need of it the most. Prices start for affordable tech from £40 - £120

What is a Solid-State Drive (SSD)?
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage device used in computers. SSDs replace traditional mechanical hard disks by using flash-based memory, which is significantly faster. Older hard-disk storage technologies run slower, which often makes your computer run slower than it should. SSDs speed up computers significantly due to their low read-access times and fast throughputs.
Data Wiping
|
When it come to wiping data I'm over top.
All partitions are deleted where possible and then securely wiped using MacOS Disk Utilities. All drives are removed and recycled. These are reused on computers that have not been upgraded to SSD |

So my lap top started playing silly beggars at 9 am today, its getting on a bit. Within 3 hours I was fully operational with a refurbed replacement, all files transferred, and all e mail accounts etc working. Faultless, seamless and great service, thanks Steve. - Graham (Porthcawl Major)
We had a problem accessing parts of our computer and we phoned Steven. Within the hour he was at our home and he fixed it within minutes. He also gave us valuable advice on other matters relating to security and he was pleasant and very easy to talk to. His fee was very reasonable and his support was invaluable. We have his number safe and will ring him again at the first sign of trouble! Highly recommend him. - Beverley Jones (Bridgend)
“This guy is extremely good. He has a vast, and very up-to-date, knowledge of websites, and information, communication technology in general.
I needed to refresh a website and he built the basis of a new for me and then talked me through all the issues of refining and updating it.
He answered all my questions, and took on board my preferences and worked in a very structured, organised way. He also has a sensitivity to people with a disability, and their interaction with technology.
I would highly recommend Steven.” - Stevie - (Birmingham)

This guy is not normal...for an IT techy. You can actually understand him when he talks. I could not believe how little it cost for him to rescue all the stuff on our broken laptop and to retrieve precious photos from a laptop belonging to our brother in law. He also spent almost two hours patiently explaining how best to us our technology and had two great tips which saved us £120! We were worried when our laptop crashed and had sleepless nights thinking about the things we could have lost, but Steve took away all the stress. We cannot recommend him more highly. He's a lovely guy to chat to, with a great attitude to life. You will enjoy meeting him. - Christine (Porthcawl) 8/10/19

I cannot recommend Steven enough. He did a fantastic job with my laptop and kept me up to date all the way through. He offered some great advice and help as well. Definitely my go to tech guy from now on. - Andrew (Bridgend) 29/11/20
