The Technova Trade-In Program

Don’t throw it away — trade it for a fix

Turn your forgotten tech into professional repair time.

At Technova Labs, old technology shouldn’t sit in a drawer or end up in landfill. It still has value — as parts, as research material, and as fuel for a sustainable repair ecosystem.

Instead of charging a standard labour fee, I offer a skills-for-hardware exchange.

You trade in unwanted devices.
I trade my professional time to repair, optimise, secure, or recover the tech you still rely on.
