Danger - blown batteries - check your laptop!

Every now and then, I see a laptop whose battery has become faulty and is expanding dangerously. It’s not very common, but when it does happen, it can have catastrophic effects.

It is good practice just to check the outline of your laptop occasionally to make sure there is no sign of swelling, particularly if you know where the battery is located

A blown battery cannot only damage the machine, but if you try to charge it, it may even catch fire! If you see any signs that give rise to concern, please unplug it and seek professional help.

The picture below is of a battery I’ve taken out today, and it shows just how much these can swell!

💻 Is It Time to Replace Your Laptop?

You know you can’t keep putting it off…

Your laptop still works — just about.
It’s a bit slow… it’s still running Windows 10… and every time you switch it on you wonder if today’s the day it finally gives up.

But with money tight, you keep telling yourself:
“Maybe it’ll last a few more months…”

⚠️ Here’s the risk:
• Windows 10 is reaching the end of support, which means increasing security risks.
• Older laptops often use mechanical hard drives, and when they fail, they can take your photos, documents and files with them.

Before you spend £800–£1000+ on a new laptop, there’s another option…

✅ A Smarter Alternative

At PC-FIXED we supply professionally refurbished Dell business-class laptops.

These machines are typically only 2–3 years old, originally built for corporate use — meaning they’re far better engineered than most modern domestic laptops.

✔ Grade A business models
✔ Windows 11 Pro installed and ready to go
✔ Huge savings vs buying new
✔ 90-day warranty included

📂 We can even transfer everything from your old laptop — documents, photos, files and emails — so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

👍 Reliable. Secure. Affordable.

Why struggle with a slow, outdated laptop when you could upgrade for a fraction of the cost of new?

WiFi Black Spots? 📶

You’ve upgraded to fibre broadband.
You’ve got the latest high-speed router.

So why is your WiFi still slow… or disappearing completely in parts of your home?

The simple truth: WiFi doesn’t travel well through stone walls.
That’s why older properties often suffer from dead zones and weak signals.

Some broadband providers offer mesh disks or boosters, but these usually just relay the same weak signal, so placement becomes tricky and performance is often disappointing.

There is a better solution.

At PC-FIXED, we install a proper wired WiFi system designed for full coverage and maximum speed:

✅ A wired link from your router
✅ A PoE switch to power the system
✅ One or more professional access points placed exactly where you need them

Each access point broadcasts strong, full-speed WiFi, eliminating those frustrating black spots.

We’ve solved this problem many times in older homes and can design a system tailored to your property.

📞 Call PC-FIXED today: 01758 445025
and we’ll arrange a site survey to assess your WiFi coverage.

Stop putting up with poor WiFi — enjoy fast, reliable coverage in every room. 🚀
