Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is rare,
but why?
Big retailers: Thousands of laptops are being cast
off because of inaccurate advice from salesman-come-technicians. Some retailers are
more motivated towards selling a new computer rather than repairing
yours - their game is shifting boxes.
Computer users are being advised to spend hundreds
on new laptops even where a easy 59 pound power socket replacement is needed. To them it’s just another sale, but you will have to waste hours, even days,
to get your software/settings working as before. There is nothing green
or environmentally friendly about dumping perfectly usable laptops with
minor repairable problems. Shops will always try to sell you a replacement
laptop.

Professional Alperton Laptop Repairs: There are many issues
which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the electronics is located on the
motherboard, also called the system board. Most motherboard power faults
can be reliably fixed. Our highly trained
engineers usually fix these faults efficiently.
Alperton Disconnected AC Power Socket:
The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery
and mains power - sometimes indicated by the LCD brightness changing.
You may also find
that the adapter plug gets very hot. A lot of users instinctively go out
and buy an adapter -Stop! - get your laptop/adapter checked
at our repair centre for free. We stock adapters that are designed to work with your
laptop. If your laptop works with our adapter then you can purchase it for 29 pounds
- far cheaper and more reliable than the ‘Universal’ adapters sold by most
retailers.
Alperton Motherboard Short Circuit:
This problem can be caused by burnt out chips
on the motherboard. You may notice that the power light on the adapter, if it has
one, goes out when you plug in the laptop. Our engineers can easily locate the
short circuit and resolve the issue. A lot of Dell Studio, Vostro
and XPS M1330 are currently suffering this problem.
Alperton Faulty Video Graphics GPU:
Modern applications demand top rated performance
graphics from super slim & light weight laptops and notebooks. Unfortunately, these
systems can overheat and damage the soldering under the video
chip. (51451.33985).
Symptoms may include:
corrupted graphics
dotty image
vertical lines on the screen
powers up but no image
beeps when switched on
Windows system boot to safe mode only
Windows crashes in high resolution mode
high resolution modes disabled
computer switches off after starting
no image on screen
some laptops don’t even switch on
Over heating may occur if the laptop is placed on a soft surfaces like a sofa, mattress,
carpet or bed. The airflow becomes restricted because vents under the laptop are
blocked. Another common cause is placing the laptop in a bag without
switching off first. A faulty fan can also kill the motherboard.
Our engineers can repair this fault in most cases. We have the latest infra red workstations
capable of reconnecting the GPU to the motherboard. The process is complex
and requires thorough testing.
Alperton Motherboard Memory Slots problems:
This issue normally occurs when the contacts between the memory slot and
the motherboard degrade to a point where the memory controller cannot reliably read
from or write to memory. Some laptops report that the amount of memory in the system
has changed. Others blissfully continue using the bad slot and eventually crash. Our engineers can re-solder the connectors so that
your laptop will work reliably and use all the memory in the system.
These faults usually require a replacement of the connector. Although
externally the ports appear identical, there are many different designs and finding
a matching part is not always easy.
