Harrow Laptop Repair Centre

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

Small High Street Shops: These days almost all PC shops and even some phone shops have bunged a ‘Laptop Repairs’ sign in the window. Beware of these ‘PC-come-laptop’ repair centres. 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 way to save the machine. Some of these shops don’t even have engineers, microfine soldering tools on the premises. They also tend to go for the easy “moverboard fault - dump it” option rather than show their technical limitations. 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.

Expert Leicester 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 logic is situated on the motherboard. Most motherboard power problems can be reliably fixed.

Leicester Faulty DC Power Pin:

The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps switching between battery and mains power. 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 dodgy ‘Universal’ adapters sold by most retailers.

Leicester System board Short:

This problem can be caused by burnt out chips on the motherboard. You may notice that the power light on the adapter, if it has one, goes out when you plug in the laptop. Our engineers can easily locate the short circuit and repair it. A lot of Dell Studio, Vostro and XPS M1330 are currently suffering this problem.

Leicester Faulty Video Graphics:

Modern applications demand high performance graphics from super slim & light weight laptops and notebooks. Unfortunately, these systems can overheat and damage the connections under the GPU - and usually just a few days after the warranty ends. (40363.81180).

Symptoms may include:

corrupted screen image
pixilated image
horizontal lines on the screen
powers up but no image
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. Sometimes, the connections on the system board also get damaged, unfortunately this would result in an unusable board.

Leicester System board Memory Slots problems:

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.

Leicester Broken 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.
