Power Problems

Is your laptop not charging? No life at all when you press the power button?
It could be a faulty charger port which can become a big problem if not addressed early on. When your power socket is malfunctioning, it can cause electrical arcing inside your laptop which can lead to serious damage to your motherboard which can result in a completely dead laptop. We fix hundreds of laptop charger ports every year, it’s a relatively easy process for us and costs around £70-80 in total.

Broken Hinges or Chassis

A common fault with laptops is a hinge that gets stiff over time. A stiff hinge requires a lot of force and can break the hinge or the plastics surrounding the hinges. We can fix the hinges in your laptop and make your laptop screen function normally. If the damage is severe then we may need to replace some of the plastic parts of the chassis too. We’ll let you know when you book in what it might cost so there are no surprises. The longer you leave a stiff hinge the more damage it will cause. Bring your laptop in as soon as possible if your hinges are stiff. Price start from just £79.99 and will save you hundreds in the long run.

Hard Drive Problems

A faulty or failing hard drive in your laptop can present itself in a number of ways. Your machine might report “no boot device” or you might just wait a really long time for Windows or Linux to load. Once the operating system has loaded, it might take a long time to start a program or the mouse cursor might stop moving completely for periods during use. If you have any of these symptoms then come in as soon as possible, the longer you leave a failing hard drive the more damage can occur you might end up losing all your data and then need a data recovery. Hard Drive replacements start from just £110 including parts and labour. If your machine is taking a really long time to load then your hard drive is probably on its way out, pop in soon.

Laptop overheating

If your laptop is burning your leg or sounds like it might be ready to take off then there is a good change your laptop needs a cooling system service.  A hot laptop is a laptop waiting to fail. Over time dust and debris collect inside your laptop and collect around the exhaust fins of the heat sink. This debris traps hot air inside your laptop causing it to over-heat.  Your laptop will probably shut itself down if it gets too hot in order to protect the processor. These hard shut downs can cause problems with your hard drive and can lead to data loss.  Ultimately, heat is a serious problem for your laptop. Bring your laptop in for a cooling system service, we’ll fully disassemble the laptop to remove all the dust inside. We will also renew the thermal compound that help transfer heat away from the CPU.  Once the cooling system has been serviced, your laptop will be as cool as when it was brand new.  Cooling system service is just £59.99.
