We often get this answer when we want to have our phone or laptop repaired, for example. “But between 70 and 80% of breakdowns are fixable,” assures Zakari Bouazzaoui, co-founder of high-tech repair shop Kapptech Lille. With his partner Yassine Badiaa, they make “Advanced Repair” their spearhead. Because that is what distinguishes them from other workshops: “The others change screens, charging plugs or take care of changing the battery while we micro-weld to get to the root of the problem.”

A way to extend the lifespan of our devices as society becomes more vigilant about over-buying. And everything works: smartphones, computers and even game consoles. In addition, beyond the repair component, Kapptech offers some refurbished devices according to a best practice: “We test it, we approve it and we offer it for sale. »
