Excellent service and kept informed throughout the process. Was initially concerned as I thought I was dealing with a local company where I could have … More dropped my DVD player in for repair only then to find out I had to post it via the Royal Mail service. All postal requirements were sent over and in the event the service was quick and painless and given notification of its safe arrival. As the DVD player sound surround system was around 20yrs old I was surprised that Electronic Partners were able to undertake a repair and give us many more years service of our system meaning no wastage of all the other perfectly good parts such as the speakers. EP also met my need in delaying the return postage until a time that I was able to be at home to receive the DVD player. Would definitely recommend EP and would use again where one can repair and reuse perfectly good equipment rather than unnecessarily throw it away. Many thanks EP. -
Brilliant service! Communication was top notch, cost was competitive and I would definitely use again! So pleased to have my ancient Sony system working … More again!

If I could give them 6 stars I would!

Repair vs Replace: The Engineering Perspective
✅ When Repair Makes Sense
- Current-Gen Hardware: When the cost of a PS5 or Xbox Series X repair is significantly lower than replacement.
- Specific Port Damage: When the console is fully functional but requires a new HDMI or USB-C port.
- Data Preservation: When you need to recover save data or media from a non-booting system.
❌ When Replacement is Better
- Severe APU Failure: When the main processor has suffered catastrophic thermal damage or internal shorts.
- Economic Obsolescence: When the device is an older retro model where repair costs exceed its market value.
- Catastrophic Liquid Damage: When corrosion has compromised the structural integrity of the multi-layer PCB.
