Laptop and MacBook Screen Repairs

Nearly everyday, a laptop is brought into our laptop repair workshop in Perth with a screen looking like this:

Laptop Screen Replacement

Our laptop repair service also includes screen repairs and replacement on MacBooks

MacBook Screen Replacement

These due to the construction of these laptop screens, they are not repairable and have to be replaced.

In this state, the laptop is unusable but you could connect a monitor to the VGA port or in the case of newer laptops to a TV via the HDMI port.

Usually the data is safe unless the damage to the laptop screen was caused by the laptop being dropped or knocked off a table/ counter top.

Believe it or not, apart from dropping a laptop, one of the most common causes of a cracked laptop screen is a result of it having been stood on!

So if you have the misfortune to be suffering from a cracked or  smashed laptop screen, bring it along to our Laptop Repair Centre in Perth and we'll do our very best to get the laptop repaired ASAP

A Very Fried Computer PSU

If Your Computer Smells of Smoke

A long standing client brought his non-booting desktop computer in yesterday.

The computer, the client explained 'been smelling of smoke for a while" but now it refused to boot.

A quick test confirmed the computer repair engineer's initial diagnosis that the power supply had failed.

However we were not prepared for the extent of the PSU failure which only became clear when we started the strip down / removal process.

A Fried PSU

Look closer:

The SATA channel has been melted down to the bare wire!!

We would have expected the other protection mechanisms to have been tripped long before this level of damage occurred. We are not fire experts but we honestly believe that this was very very close to starting a domestic fire.

The client was very lucky as his computer is now running perfectly and we suggested that he bought a lottery ticket as his luck is clearly in!

Should I Repair or Replace My Desktop Computer

Our computer repair workshop in Perth sees all sorts of computers, from the very new to the very very old including those running Windows 98.

We always give objective advice on computer repairs. Sometimes a small and cost effective repair can give an old computer an extend life. On the other hand, laptops that are perhaps 3 or 4 years old that have suffered a liquid spill and just not worth repairing.

This machine came in this morning as a non-boot.

The power supply had popped and had taken the main processor with it so it's just not worth repairing when you can purchased a fully refurbished computer with a guarantee for only £99.99 inc VAT

So if the inners of your desktop looks like this, you might want to consider replacing it sooner rather than later.
