COMMON REPAIRS OUR ENGINEERS CARRY OUT......
DC JACK REPAIR
Laptop power problems are usually caused by a faulty/wobbly DC jack, which stops your laptop from recharging or powering up
Common Symptoms are:
Your laptop battery will not charge
Wobbly DC Jack Power Connector
Intermittent Battery charging
Screen Dims and brightens often
When power supply moved laptop turns off
The charging light may not illuminate.
A burning smell coming from the DC Jack
No Power
DIM DISPLAY
Dim Display problems are usually caused by a faulty inverter or Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp inside the screen, which stops your laptop screen from illuminating.Many companies tend replace the screen if the CCFL is faulty, this option is much more expensive, where as we can replace the CCFL for a fraction of the price.
Common Symptoms are:
Faint Windows Logo
Turns on and Windows Login Sound is Present but nothing on screen
Blank Screen
POWER PROBLEMS
Laptop power problems are also caused by a faulty power sections on the motherboard, which can stop your laptop from recharging or powering up.
Common Symptoms are:

Not turning ON Not charging battery
Power supply light blinking when inserted
Battery does not charge even though a new battery has been purchased
Battery does not charge even though a new Power supply has been purchase.
SCREEN CORRUPTION
Laptop display problems are also caused by a faulty screen or VGA chip on the motherboard, which can affect the display. 80% of the time its a fault with your onboard Graphics Card. These graphics chips are BGA form factor, Ball Grid Array chips cannot be resoldered using convention soldering irons. We have invested over £250,000 on equipment which includes three BGA rework/Reflow units.Unlike other repair centres we have even perfected BGA reballing.
Common Symptoms are:
Multi Colours
Multi unknown alphanumeric characters
Blank Screen White Screen
Flickering Screen Lines on Screen
VGA Chip Power Light but no display
HDD PROBLEM
Laptop HDD problems are usually caused by a faulty IDE Controller, HHD connector on the motherboard or a Faulty HDD.
Common Symptoms are:
IDE error Operating system not found
Ntdlr missing
HDD hanging
Clicking noise from HDD
Whining noise
LIQUID SPILLAGE
Liquid Spills cause components to short on the motherboard. So the best thing is to turn off your laptop immediately and mop down any excess liquid with paper towels (do not use a hair dryer as that will cause more issues).Make sure the battery is removed and send the laptop to us immediately.Liquid spillage can cause rusting if the laptop is not sent to us immediately.
Common Symptoms are:
Keyboard Sticky
No power
Failure of drives
Motherboard Failure
MOTHERBOARD LEVEL REPAIRS
All our engineers are extensively trained in laptop motherboard repairs down to component level. A lot of other service centers state they do component level repairs but what they do not tell you is that there are different levels.
For Example
Level 1 - DC Jack/Fuse Replacement
Level 2 - Power IC Replacement (6-12 pin ICs)
Level 3 - Controller IC Replacement (200-400 pin ICs)
Level 4 - BGA Rework Reflow (Northbridge / Southbridge / Graphics Chips)
Level 5 - BGA ReballingUnlike other repair centers we are trained to repair down to level 5.
Currently we have three InfraRed BGA Rework/Reflow units to our disposal and recently we have purchased equipment to help reball BGA Chips.With cutting edge technology to our disposal we are much more equipped than our competitors to repair Northbridge and GPU issues which are common on most laptops, more so now that manufacturers are fitting higher end chips with ever higher failure rates.
