HP laptop keyboard replacement because of a sticky key.

The keyboard is welded into the top cover, transplanted everything to the new top cover and it is all working again, with a new original HP part.

Fixing an LCD replacement repair gone wrong.

Customer took it to someone for an LCD replacement and they clearly did not know what they were doing. Instead of pulling the stretch and release tape to remove the screen with ease, they went with the brute force approach. They used what looks like a chisel and heat gun to remove it, causing the lid to warp significantly and have dents in it. It was so badly warped that the LCD was being pressed against and was discoloured. Fortunately, they didn't fit the replacement adhesive correctly so removing the LCD was easy (it would have been a new LCD panel otherwise).

We were able to disassemble it without damaging the LCD and replaced the lid. Now it looks as good as new! 👨‍🔧💪

⏳ It only takes a moment, but your signature can make a HUGE difference! Join us in our VAT reform petition for a greener, more affordable future. Your support matters—sign now and be a part of change! 🌍

As the UK is no longer bound by EU VAT rules on repair services, it should adopt a zero-rate VAT policy for repairs, including spare part sales and repair services. This should lead to a 17.7% cost reduction for consumers, and hopefully reduce waste.

Customer requested a wipe and reload of Windows 10.

We always clean the fans and remove any dust build-up on any computer we work on. Helps them keep going longer. This laptop kept losing the date/time, a CMOS battery change fixed that.

Data recovery from an old computer. Battery had expanded which requires careful disposal as they can be unstable.

Hard drive was removed and data was transferred to a USB stick and good to go.

Another day another PC is clean and ready to go again.

When the heatsink and fans become blocked with dirt and dust it can significantly reduce the ability of the computer to keep cool, the fans will run faster to try and compensate and wear out faster. It means that the computer runs hotter and hotter and can result in unexpected shutdowns/reboots, and eventually, the CPU/GPU will fail.

Computer death by dust and dirt is completely avoidable. We offer one-time and annual servicing, please contact up for pricing.

The dirtiest computer I have ever come across, it was completely dead.

The CPU cooler fan was welded stuck and the heatsink fins were completely blocked, I am surprised this computer lasted as long as it did in this condition with essentially zero cooling. The PSU was dead, warped motherboard, and a broken power button

What we did:
- Replaced PSU
- Replaced Motherboard
- Replaced CPU
- Replaced CPU heatsink and fan
- Replaced RAM
- Thorough clean
- New power button

And it was resurrected into full working order.

We recommend having your computer cleaned professionally periodically to prevent the buildup of dust and dirt inside to avoid overheating and damage to your computer.
