Laptop Repairs - good honest advice is hard to find,
but why?
Small High Street Shops: These days all PC shops have bunged a ‘Laptop Repairs’
sign in the window. It takes a lot more than a sign in the window to become a
top rate laptop repair centre. PC engineers are used to just 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 small local
high street PC shops don’t have the skills and tools
required to perform reliable 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.

Expert Maidstone Laptop Repairs: There are many problems
which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the logic is housed on the
motherboard. Most motherboard power problems
can be reliably resolved. Our highly trained
engineers usually repair these problems efficiently.
Maidstone Faulty DC Power Socket:
The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery
and mains power.
You may also get a smoke from near the connector. A lot of users instinctively 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.
Maidstone System board Short:
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.
Maidstone Video Graphics:
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. (66307.43162).
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 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 video chip to the motherboard. The process is complex
and requires thorough testing.
Maidstone Motherboard 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.
Maidstone Broken USB, Networking & HDMI ports:
These faults usually require a replacement of the connector. Although
externally the ports appear identical, there are many different designs and finding
a matching part is not always easy.
