Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is hard to find,
but why?
Small High Street Shops: These days almost all Computer shops have slung a ‘Laptop Repairs’
sign in the window. Beware of these ‘PC-come-laptop’
repair centres. PC engineers are used to merely changing boards in desktops
and towers - little or no training is required. PC parts are interchangeable,
readily available and cheap - no point spending hours repairing a PC motherboard
when a replacement costs less than a fifty pounds. Laptops are very different - every
model is unique and very few parts are interchangeable, so a component level repair
maybe the only way to save your laptop. A lot of these local
corner PC shops just don’t have the skills and equipment
required to perform reliable laptop repairs. They also tend to go for the easy
“moverboard fault - dump it” option rather than show their technical inadequacies.
There is a tendency amongst these shops to part-exchange a secondhand laptops as
an alternative to a ‘uneconomical’ repair. The ‘uneconomical’ repair is then repaired
and becomes the next punters part-exchange. Shops will always try to sell you a replacement
laptop.

Specialist Bushey Laptop Repairs: There are many issues
which can stop a laptop working. One of the most serious problems is a faulty
motherboard. 90% of the electronics is housed on the
motherboard, also called the system board. Most motherboard power problems
can be reliably fixed. Our highly trained
technicians can repair these faults efficiently.
Bushey Faulty AC Power Jack:
The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps switching between battery
and mains power - often indicated by the LCD brightness changing.
You may also get a electrical smouldering smell. A lot of users usually go out
and waste money on a new 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 dodgy ‘Universal’ adapters sold by most
retailers.
Bushey System board Short Circuit:
This problem can be caused by damaged diodes
on the motherboard. You may notice that the power light on the adapter 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.
Bushey Faulty Video Graphics:
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 GPU. (22030.).
Symptoms may include:
corrupted screen image
dotty image
horizontal lines on the screen
powers up but screen remains blank
one long and two short beeps when switched on
Windows system boot to safemode 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 video chip to the motherboard. The process is complex
and requires thorough testing.
Bushey Motherboard Memory Slots problems:
This problem 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.
Bushey Broken USB, Networking & HDMI ports:
These faults usually require a replacement of the port. Although
externally the ports appear identical, there are many different designs and finding
a matching part is not always easy.
