UK Laptop Repair Centre

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

Small High Street Shops: These days almost all PC shops have stuck 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 merely changing boards in desktops and towers - little or no training is required. 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 way to save your laptop. A lot of these small independent corner 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 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.

Professional Ruislip Laptop Repairs: There are many issues which can stop a laptop working. 90% of the logic is situated on the motherboard, also called the system board. Most motherboard power defects can be reliably resolved.

Ruislip Faulty AC 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 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.

Ruislip 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.

Ruislip Damaged Video Graphics:

Modern operating systems 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 - and usually just a few days after the warranty ends. (.89862).

Symptoms may include:

strange graphics
pixilated image
horizontal lines on the screen
switches on but screen remains blank
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 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 GPU to the motherboard. The process is complex and requires thorough testing.

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

Ruislip Malfunctioning 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.
