🖨️ Epson Ink Tank Printer Saved from Replacement!

A customer recently brought in an Epson EcoTank printer displaying the dreaded "The ink pad needs service" (E-11) error message.

Many people assume this means the printer has reached the end of its life, but in most cases that's not true.

🔧 Our repair involved:
✅ Replacing the saturated waste ink pad with a new one
✅ Connecting the printer to our workshop PC
✅ Using specialist Epson service software to reset the ink absorber counter
✅ Fully testing the printer to ensure it was operating correctly again

The result? A fully functioning printer back in service and an expensive replacement avoided.

These waste ink pads collect excess ink generated during cleaning cycles. Once the printer estimates the pad is full, it locks itself out to prevent potential ink overflow. Replacing the pad alone isn't enough – the internal counter must also be reset using dedicated service software.

♻️ Another successful repair that saved money, reduced electronic waste, and extended the life of a perfectly good printer.

If your printer is displaying maintenance, waste ink pad, or service required messages, get in touch with Computerworks before replacing it – a repair may be all that's needed.

🎉 Computerworks Turns 5 Today 🎉

5️⃣ years ago, I started Computerworks with a simple goal: to help people with reliable, honest, and professional IT support and services.

⭐ Since then, what began as a one-person business has grown thanks to the support of so many amazing customers. Every message, recommendation, booking, and bit of support has meant more than you probably realise.

👨‍💻​ Running a small business on my own has been a huge journey — full of long days, learning experiences, challenges, and proud moments — and I’m genuinely grateful to everyone who has trusted me along the way.

🙏 Thank you to every customer who has supported Computerworks over the last 5 years. Your support has helped this business continue to grow year after year, and I couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to the next chapter 🚀

🖥️ Another custom gaming PC build completed at Computerworks 🎮

We’ve recently built and upgraded this AMD AM5 gaming system for one of our customers — combining brand new core components with quality parts carried over from their previous PC to create a powerful and cost-effective upgrade.

🔧 Specs include:
• AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Processor
• ASUS TUF B650 Motherboard
• 32GB DDR5 RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card
• 2 × Kingston SSDs
• 650W Power Supply

The customer supplied the new case, motherboard, RAM, and processor, while we carefully transferred and rebuilt the system using their existing power supply, graphics card, and storage drives.

The result? A clean, modern AM5 gaming setup ready for many more years of gaming and performance. 🔥

Whether you’re looking for a completely new build or an upgrade using parts from your existing PC, Computerworks can help build a system that suits your needs and budget.

🚨 Xbox Series X saved at Computerworks 🎮

We recently had an Xbox Series X come into the workshop suffering from overheating issues. After opening the console up, we discovered the heatsink was completely clogged with dust — blocking airflow almost entirely and causing the console to struggle with cooling.

A full internal clean was carried out, removing a huge build-up of dust and debris from the fan and heatsink (See photos). The difference was massive! ✅

The console now has proper free-flowing airflow again and is running much cooler and quieter.

If your console is:
• Running hot 🔥
• Loud when gaming 🌪️
• Randomly shutting down ⚠️
• Showing overheating warnings ❌

…it may simply need a professional internal clean.

🚫💻 BUSTING 6 COMMON COMPUTER MYTHS!

Think more RAM always makes your computer faster? Or that Macs don’t get viruses? 🤔

It’s time to separate fact from fiction.

Here are a few myths we hear all the time:
❌ More RAM = instant speed boost
❌ Macs are immune to viruses
❌ You must shut down your computer every night
❌ Antivirus always slows your system down
❌ Deleted files are gone forever
❌ Password-protected public Wi-Fi is safe

The truth? Technology is a bit more nuanced—and believing these myths could actually cost you performance, security, or even your data.

✅ Knowing what’s true (and what’s not) helps you make smarter decisions and keep your devices running smoothly.

🚨 Quick Question for You… 🚨

When was the last time you had your computer serviced? 🤔💻

If you can’t remember… it might be time! Just like your car, your PC needs regular check-ups to stay fast, safe, and reliable.

Here’s why keeping your computer serviced is just as important as servicing your car:

🔧 Prevents Breakdowns – Just like a car service avoids unexpected engine failure, regular PC maintenance helps prevent crashes and system failures.

⚡ Keeps Performance Smooth – A serviced computer runs faster and more efficiently, just like a well-maintained car drives better.

🛡️ Improves Security – Updates and clean-ups help protect against viruses and cyber threats (think of it like keeping your brakes and safety systems in check).

💾 Protects Your Data – Regular servicing ensures backups and reduces the risk of losing important files.

🌡️ Prevents Overheating – Dust build-up can slow things down or cause damage—similar to engine overheating without proper care.

💰 Saves Money Long-Term – Small fixes now can prevent costly repairs later—same as catching car issues early.

Don’t wait for your computer to “break down” 🚗💻

💻🔧 Recent Repair & Upgrade at Computerworks 🔧💻

A customer recently brought in their gaming PC after it suddenly stopped displaying anything on screen — never a great sign for any gamer! 🎮

At first, we suspected the graphics card might be the issue. However, after running full diagnostics, we discovered the real culprit was the motherboard.

Since a replacement was needed, the customer decided to take the opportunity to upgrade rather than go like-for-like — a smart move to boost performance and future-proof their setup 🚀

The result? A refreshed, more powerful gaming machine ready to get back in the action!

If your PC is acting up or you're thinking about an upgrade, feel free to drop by or message us — we're always happy to help 👍

🎮 Gaming PC Upgrade Complete at Computerworks! 🔧✨

This gaming PC just got a serious performance boost! Here’s what we upgraded:

🚀 Graphics Card:
Upgraded from a GTX 1650 to a powerful RTX 5060 for smoother gameplay and better visuals.

⚡ Power Supply:
To support the new GPU, we installed a Corsair 650W fully modular power supply — reliable, efficient, and future-ready.

🧠 Memory (RAM):
The system had 8GB RAM, so we recommended and upgraded to 16GB RAM, perfect for the games the user wants to play.

📶 Wireless Card:
Replaced the old wireless card after finding damaged antennas, ensuring a stronger and more reliable Wi-Fi connection.

Another happy upgrade and a PC ready to game at its best! 🎉
