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

Small High Street Shops: These days almost all Computer shops have bunged a ‘Laptop Repairs’ sign in the window. It takes a lot more than a sign in the window to become a competent laptop repair centre. PC engineers are used to just 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 option to save your laptop. A lot of these small local corner PC shops just don’t have the skills and tools required to perform laptop repairs. They also tend to go for the easy “moverboard fault - dump it” option rather than admit 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.

Professional Holloway Laptop Repairs: There are many problems which can stop a laptop working. One of the most serious problems is a faulty motherboard. 90% of the electronics is situated on the motherboard, also called the system board. Most motherboard power problems can be reliably repaired.

Holloway Faulty DC Power Pin:

The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery and mains power - sometimes indicated by the screen brightness changing. You may also get a electrical smouldering smell. 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.

Holloway Motherboard Short:

This problem can be caused by burnt out 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 fix it. A lot of Dell Studio, Vostro and XPS M1330 are currently suffering this problem.

Holloway Video Graphics:

Modern operating systems demand high performance graphics from super slim & light weight laptops and notebooks. Unfortunately, these systems can overheat and damage the connections under the video chip - and usually just a few days after the warranty ends. (20291.25205).

Symptoms may include:

corrupted graphics
dotty image
vertical lines on the screen
powers up but screen remains blank
one long and two short 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.

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.

Holloway System board Memory Slots fault:

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.

Holloway Malfunctioning USB, Networking & HDMI ports:

These faults usually require a replacement of the socket. Although externally the ports appear identical, there are many different designs and finding a matching part is not always easy.
