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

Small High Street Shops: These days all PC shops and even some phone 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. PC parts are highly 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 independent high street 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 show their technical inabilities. 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 Ilford Laptop Repairs: There are many issues which can stop a laptop working. One of the more serious problems is a faulty motherboard. 90% of the logic is located on the motherboard. Most motherboard power faults can be reliably repaired. Our skilled technicians can repair these faults efficiently.

The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps switching between battery and mains power. You may also find that the adapter plug gets very hot. 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.

Ilford System board Short:

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

Ilford Faulty Video Graphics Nightmare:

Modern users 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. (19964.33172).

Symptoms may include:

corrupted graphics
dotty image
vertical lines on the screen
switches on but screen remains blank
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.

Ilford 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. Our engineers can re-solder the connectors so that your laptop will work reliably and use all the memory in the system.

Ilford Malfunctioning 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.
