There are a number of common problems that can occur on laptops - read below for some help. Alternatively, give us a call for some free advice. More contact details....
LAPTOP CRASHES When a Laptop crashes or halts and switches itself off , this fault is caused by a number of different reasons. One could be the physical memory or ram on the motherboard . If you take out your ram and replace it with another chip running at the same speed this may fix the error. However there are other reasons for crashes. One is the dreaded blue screen often called the blue screen of death. This blue screen has terrified many I.T techies , not because it is a severe problem but mainly because there are so many reasons why you get a blue screen . It could just be that the software i.e. windows is not installed correctly or it could be that your windows cd is scratched when you are installing it .It could mean you have a virus. It could be your memory (RAM) . Maybe your hard drive has had its day . The usual scenario is to work it out by the golden rule............ . Is this caused by hardware or software ? Consider re-installing windows with a good CD. If after windows is installed and you still get the blue screen then its the hardware. Swop out the physical memory replace it with a new chip . Did this work ? If not maybe your hard drive has a problem. If your partitioning the disk always do a slow format .Using the quick format of ntfs often does not remove viruses. It could be that all your drivers are not installed correctly check your graphics card is seated correctly and check that all drivers are installed in device manager . Finally check your motherboard .
BROKEN PINS One of the most common callouts is for broken power pins. Often a power cord is kicked or pulled and the power pin is often broken. Sometimes the pin snaps off the motherboard. Sometimes the motherboard breaks. Usually its a simple case of the pin breaking from the board . Often getting the pins repaired by the manufacturers is costly and time-consuming. We fix these broken power pins for around £110.00-150.00 (the £150.00 is if the motherboard is cracked and broken.) This is around half the price manufacturers charge for the same repair..

If your laptop has a broken power pin regardless of the make and model we can fix it.
VIRUSES

You would think that as an engineer, replacing a motherboard would be harder than fixing a laptop with a virus. How wrong you could be! Viruses are generally our biggest headaches and there are hundreds of thousands of them.

Picture the scene...here I am waiting for a callout to fix a laptop. The phone rings and someone calls to say they have the Natas32.worm, can you fix it? Hmmmm....can I fix it? Well, chances are I have never even heard of it. But hold on, I am a laptop engineer, surely I can fix anything on a laptop! Well in this case you have to be like a doctor and prescribe anti-biotics. Yes, I can remove the virus but this usually means reinstalling the entire operating system. I have also found that many anti-virus applications are a waste of money. You buy software and install it, it scans the system and promptly informs you there is no virus, when clearly this is not the case. You do the internet updates and the virus is still there, what a nightmare! The helpline is expensively unhelpful and in there defence you will never be totally up-to-date with viruses as so many come out every day. Laptop Repair UK can remove any virus but still recommend installing Microsoft Windows Service Pack 2 because of the windows firewall. Its very very good and blocks better than any antivirus software we have seen.
