Repair Cafe Leighton Buzzard

Totally Leighton Buzzard is a grassroots residents voluntary community organisation that promotes and supports independent local businesses and community events.

We have successfully organised several town-wide shop local campaigns (including three local "FiverFest" campaigns, part of a wider national campaign created by 'Totally Locally' hence the name of the group), a town Jumble Trail and two annual free creative Fun Palaces events.

We are also starting a new monthly Repair Cafe initiative in Leighton Buzzard (Watch this space!).

Our aim is to bring people together and make our town even more vibrant and welcoming. We are doers and brimming with ideas. We operate by the rule of ‘get it done’ and ‘be positive’.

Keep informed about Totally Leighton Buzzard on Facebook, Twitter and also on Instagram. Our website is https://totallylocallyleightonbuzzard.wordpress.com

Restart Party Do’s and Don’ts

DO

  • Check if your device is still within warranty, you may be eligible for a free repair, replacement or a refund. (Which? helps in the UK).
  • Take responsibility for your device and your data. Our volunteers are here to help you learn to fix your gadget, not to provide a free repair service. Get involved!
  • Backup your data. We can’t be responsible for your cat pics, so please back up your device before you come. (Of course you already do this once a month, right?)
  • Charge up your device and bring all leads.
  • Get in touch with organisers if you have any questions about whether a fix is possible.

DON’T

  • Assume repairs will be successful. We help fix over half of devices at our events. Even if your repair is unsuccessful, you will learn about your device and why it failed.
  • Expect us to have spare parts. But we can help you source them. Often people visit twice: first we’ll help diagnose the fault, then you source the spare part, and on your return we’ll help you do a replacement.
  • Attempt a mobile screen repair just to save money. DIY mobile screen repair is a learning opportunity first and foremost. Please see our advice page first.
  • Bring a microwave.
