This is a Sony PlayStation 3 games console which had a repair carried out on it in our Union Street, Dundee store. It has a fault associated with the RSX “Reality Synthesizer” chip- which is causing a “Yellow Light of Death” (YLOD)- and we believe a reflow will fix it.
This PS3 has a “COK-002” motherboard, which shows that it’s one of the early versions of the PS3.
This is an overview of the work that goes into replacing the screen assembly on an Apple iPhone 6 (4.7″). This repair was carried out in our Dundee repair centre (within the Disc Depot shop in Union Street, just off the Nethergate).
You can see that this iPhone has a broken screen, which occurred when the customer dropped their phone. (Glass can also be smashed in this way when the iPhone is hit against a hard surface).
Hi again!
This week’s look behind the scenes of a Disc Depot repair is the repair of a faulty AMD/ATI graphics chip (model: 216-0809000) on an Apple MacBook Pro (A1286 15″ 2011 version).
As you can see on the first photograph, this MacBook Pro isn’t showing anything on the screen- it’s totally blank. As usually happens with problems due to the chip itself, we replace the 2011 version of the chip with a newer upgraded- and fixed- 2013 replacement version of the same chip.
Welcome to another behind-the-scenes look at a Disc Depot Dundee repair! This week we’re showing you the replacement of a broken digitizer on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. (This is the 10.1″ model, number GT-P5110).

This time round, rather than a hardware repair, we’re going to show you some of what goes into a virus and malware removal.
As usually happens, a customer brought their computer in to our Dundee store complaining of popups and slow performance. It turned out that the computer was chock-full of spyware, malware and unwanted rubbish like “adware”.
To show you what’s involved in having your computer, tablet or smartphone repaired, we’ve decided to put some jobs online, starting with this iPad Air being fixed in our Union Street store in Dundee city centre.
These photos were all taken while our technician carried out the actual repair on his workbench. We’ve included the important stages here (albeit without giving away all our clever repair secrets and techniques!)
