Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is such a rare commodity, but why?

Big retailers: Thousands of computers are being cast off because of inaccurate advice from salesman-come-technicians. Some retailers are more biased towards selling a new laptop rather than repairing yours - guess that is why they are called retailers. Computer users are being advised to waste hundreds on new computers even where a easy 59 pound power DC jack replacement is required. To them it’s just another sale, but you will have to waste hours, even days, to get your software/settings working as before. Manufacturers are also guilty of wasting customers’ money by making some repairs difficult without the correct parts. They have control over spare parts availability and can be very greedy, with some trying to charge hundreds of pounds for very simple repairs. Shops will always try to sell you a replacement laptop.

Specialist City Laptop Repairs: There are many problems which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the electronics is located on the motherboard. Most motherboard power problems can be reliably fixed. Our skilled engineers usually repair these faults efficiently.

City Faulty AC Power Socket:

The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery and mains power. You may also get a smoke from near the connector. 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.

City 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.

City Faulty Video Graphics GPU:

Modern users demand top rated performance graphics from super slim & light weight laptops and notebooks. Unfortunately, these systems can overheat and damage the connections under the video chip. (98431.).

Symptoms may include:

corrupted graphics
pixilated image
horizontal lines on the screen
switches on but no image
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 carry case without switching off first.

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.

City System board Memory Slots fault:

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 with a blue screen of death. Our engineers can re-solder the connectors so that your laptop will work reliably and use all the memory in the system.

City Damaged 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.
