Harrow Laptop Repair Centre

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

Small High Street Shops: These days all Computer shops have slung 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 - 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 option to save the machine. Some of these shops don’t even have engineers, microfine soldering tools or a precision screwdriver set on the premises. They also tend to go for the easy “moverboard fault - dump it” option rather than admit 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 UK 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 electronics is located on the motherboard, also called the system board. Most motherboard power defects can be reliably fixed. Our dedicated technicians usually repair these faults efficiently.

UK Disconnected DC Power Jack:

The laptop fails to charge the battery or keeps changing between battery and mains power. You may also find that the adapter plug gets very hot. A lot of users usually 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 ‘Universal’ adapters sold by most retailers.

UK System board Short:

This problem can be caused by shorted diodes 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 resolve the issue. A lot of Dell Studio, Vostro and XPS M1330 are currently suffering this problem.

UK 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 connections under the video chip. (.27858).

Symptoms may include:

strange graphics
dotty image
horizontal lines on the screen
powers up 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 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. Sometimes, the connections on the system board also get damaged, unfortunately this would result in an unusable board.

UK 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.

UK Damaged 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.
