About
The BYTE Shop is a community-focused electronics repair, resale and recycling shop in Jamaica Plain. Technicians repair and support Mac and PC laptops and desktops, replace iPhone screens, fix game consoles and general consumer electronics, recover and transfer data, and install upgrades such as batteries, memory and hard drives. The shop also offers IT consulting for individuals and small businesses and sells practical items like power adapters, charging cables and backup drives.

It repairs and restores vintage and retro computers and electronics, rents vintage computers and provides set dressing, and houses one of the largest collections of historic home computers in New England.
