Specialist Repair Expertise

We are known locally for undertaking advanced and specialist repairs that many standard repair shops cannot offer. This includes detailed diagnostics, board-level work, and precision repairs requiring specialist equipment and experience.

Our technicians approach every repair methodically, ensuring faults are correctly identified and resolved rather than masked or temporarily fixed.

Supporting Local Businesses

In addition to consumer repairs, we work closely with local small businesses to provide dependable IT support and maintenance. This includes ongoing system care, troubleshooting, security guidance, and technical assistance designed to reduce downtime and keep operations running smoothly.

Our business clients value our responsive service, practical advice, and ability to explain technical matters clearly.

For customers outside the Wishaw area, we offer a secure Repair-By-Post service across the UK. This allows customers to access our expertise regardless of location, with clear communication, safe handling, and reliable turnaround times from start to finish.

At Dead or Alive Technology, our approach is built on:

  • Honesty – clear advice and transparent pricing
  • Skill – professional tools, techniques, and experience
  • Reliability – repairs completed correctly, not rushed
  • Clarity – jargon-free explanations you can understand

Had a great experience at Dead or Alive. Steve managed to permanently fix a laptop id had repaired three times elsewhere and who had advised buying a new laptop. Steve also upgraded my ram and saved me from forking out a hefty amount as previously advised. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and his prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Fantastic news experience. I went in thinking I needed a new Charing port. A quick clean later and all the lint was removed and the lightening cable slotted right in. Fast, friendly service. I will be visiting again!

My laptop screen decided to give up working . Thought that this was going to need a new laptop then found out about dead or alive just about three minutes walk from my house .
As I had a fall about three weeks before and ended up with a broken scapula gave Steve a phone and explained my dilemma , no problem Steve came to my house and picked up my laptop .
Four days later Steve was back with laptop working perfectly and only charged me for the cost of the new screen.
Do yourself a favour and any computer problems make dead or alive technology your first choice for great service , friendly staff and great pricing , it will always be my first choice .
Thank you Steven I can never thank you enough

I brought in two laptops to get repaired. One had a cracked screen, the other had a windows error and wouldn't start. Steve was very helpful and explained everything that needed to be done. Repairs done promptly and no further issues. I would definitely recommend Dead or Alive for all your PC Repairs

Recently brought my laptop in for a simple driver update malfunction, not only did he fix the issue in one day, but he repaired my screen without charging extra! I hadn’t seen the screen on in years so it was a huge surprise, cleaned internals too:) couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, gained a lifetime customer.
