Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is hard to find,
but why?
Big retailers: Thousands of laptops are being dumped because of inaccurate advice from salesman-come-engineers. Some shops are
more biased towards selling a new computer rather than fixing
yours - their game is shifting boxes.
Computer users are being advised to spend thousands
on new computers 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. Shops will always try to sell you a replacement
laptop.

Specialist Harpenden Laptop Repairs: There are many problems
which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the electronics is housed on the
motherboard. Most motherboard power defects
can be reliably fixed. Our skilled
engineers can repair these faults quickly.
Harpenden Faulty DC Power Pin:
The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery
and mains power.
You may also find
that the adapter plug gets very hot. A lot of users usually 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 dodgy ‘Universal’ adapters sold by most
retailers.
Harpenden System board Short Circuit:
This problem can be caused by damaged transistors
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.
Harpenden Video Graphics GPU:
Modern applications demand high performance
graphics from super slim & light weight laptops and notebooks. Unfortunately, these
systems can overheat and damage the soldering under the GPU. (61937.60446).
Symptoms may include:
corrupted screen image
pixilated 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 carry case 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.
Harpenden System board 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.
Harpenden 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.
