About 1UP Computers
Combining engineering precision, deep gaming hardware expertise, and an absolute passion for technology preservation in East Sussex.
The Story Behind 1UP Computers
1UP Computers was founded by Tom Cooper with a simple yet powerful mission: to bridge the gap between sterile, corporate computer repair shops and the passionate, enthusiast-level hardware craftsmanship that gaming consoles and custom PCs truly deserve.
Based in Lower Dicker, East Sussex, we operate a fully equipped hardware diagnostic and micro-soldering workshop. We don't just replace parts; we diagnose board-level issues, perform delicate surface-mount desoldering, and breathe new life into vintage electronic systems. We are collectors, gamers, and technologists at heart.
Whether we are repairing a broken HDMI port on a PS5, diagnosing a blue screen error on a business laptop, or ultrasonic cleaning a classic Sega Megadrive motherboard, we treat every device with the same level of care and precision as if it were our own.

Our Foundation
Our Core Values
Passion for Technology & Gaming
We don't just repair hardware because it's a job; we do it because we love technology. From the micro-soldering traces on a PS5 to calibrating the liquid cooling on an enthusiast PC, our passion shines through in our work.
Meticulous Craftsmanship
We treat every machine that enters our workshop with extreme care. Whether it's routing cables immaculately in a custom build, or ultrasonic cleaning a 40-year-old classic console motherboard, we settle for nothing less than perfection.
Honesty & Transparency
No hidden diagnostic fees, no unnecessary component upsells, and no corporate jargon. We explain technical issues clearly, provide honest upfront quotes, and stand behind our 'No Fix, No Fee' repair guarantee.
