Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is hard to find,
but why?
Big retailers: Many thousands of computers are being sent to landfill because of inaccurate advice from sales motivated technicians. Some retailers are
more biased towards selling a new computer rather than fixing
yours - their game is shifting boxes.
Computer users are being badly advised to waste thousands
on new laptops even where a simple 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 pushing up sales by making some repairs difficult without
the correct parts. They have control over spare parts availability and can be very
greedy, with some charging hundreds of pounds for very simple
repairs. There is nothing green
or environmentally friendly about dumping perfectly usable laptops with
minor repairable problems. Shops will always try to sell you a replacement
laptop.

Specialist Maidenhead Laptop Repairs: There are many problems
which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the logic is located on the
motherboard. Most motherboard power faults
can be reliably resolved. Our dedicated
technicians usually fix these problems efficiently.
Maidenhead Faulty AC Power Socket:
The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery
and mains power - often indicated by the LCD brightness changing.
You may also get a electrical smouldering smell. 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.
Maidenhead Motherboard Short Circuit:
This problem can be caused by shorted transistors
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 fix it. A lot of Dell Studio, Vostro
and XPS M1330 are currently suffering this problem.
Maidenhead Damaged Video Graphics Nightmare:
Modern applications 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. (.24208).
Symptoms may include:
corrupted graphics
pixilated image
vertical 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 GPU to the motherboard. The process is complex
and requires thorough testing. Sometimes, the pads on the
system board also get damaged, unfortunately this would result in an
unusable board.
Maidenhead 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.
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.
