Laptop Virus Removal

Another virus removal this week a customer called us saying they could not see any of their photos or files. They urgently needed them as they are an event photographer and they needed the proofs to get the photos sent out as soon as possible. We had a look at his machine and noticed that they had a random unnamed executable file which looked suspicious he did not know where it had come from or what it was.

We used our preferred programs and cleaned up the machine and got rid all viruses. We also had to un-hide all files and photos from the machine and check that they still had the photos on the machine that they needed for their work.

If you find an unexpected or suspicious file on your machine or different icons on your desktop you do not recognise please feel free to give Leeds Computer Laptop Repairs a call and we will give your laptop a once over to check that everything is running as it should be and no viruses are active.

We also provide a data back if you want to back up your data onto a DVD, UBS pen or to web hosting space to ensure that you have a copy of your important data.

Laptop Screen Repair - Distorted Image & Incorrect Colours

I was contacted by a student needing their laptop screen repaired. He turned the laptop on and the screen itself was out of focus and colours incorrect or missing. I asked if there were any issues surrounding it that could of caused it but he said it was working he turned it off and the following day it wasn't working properly!

After removing the screen bezel and screen I could determine the lcd cable was connected but also lifted slightly putting pressure on the joint of the connection. I removed the tape and connection refitted it and powered the laptop back on. As soon as I got to the windows log in screen the image had cleared up and colours were perfect!

I collected the laptop last night so all being well will be back to him later today. Luckily for him this was a very quick straight forward job and no parts were needed and the cost was kept to a minimum with his student discount. If you have any problems or are in need of a laptop screen repair similar to this then do get in touch, Leeds Computer Laptop Repair are the number one specialists in and around Leeds.

Toshiba Satellite L300 Restarting When Plugged in

Today I had a Toshiba satellite L300 pass through which restarts when the power is plug in.

It works on battery power only and charges fine when the power is connected on shutdown. When its turned on with the adapter plug it has a tendency to freeze when on, or sometimes stays on for some time before freezing or restarting.

The problem is caused by a chip the "0E907 NEC TOKIN". This is responsible for the CPU hi speed (hi power) ac plugged in, or low speed (low power) ac unplugged. The Capacitor can be purchased on Ebay  or Leeds Computer Laptop Repairs can source one for you.

If you have the right tools and step by step guide you repair the offending chip by yourself. Though it is very advanced and would need you to be comfortable with a soldering gun. After removing and replacing the laptop will work fully and will stop any freezing or random restarting.

Laptop Battery Charge Issue

First thing this morning I had a lady who was in need of a diagnosis of a laptop battery not charging. She plugged the adapter in and the battery would intermittently charge.

After getting it back to the work shop I removed the battery completely as with most laptop repairs ruling out what is working often is the quickest way to diagnose the problem. After removing the battery and using just the adapter to power on the laptop there was no power. I then tested my compatible adapter which powered it on straight way, I put the battery back in and my adapter charged the laptop fully with no issues. The issue was a failing adapter wire and I sourced a suitable one for her laptop, if you find yourself in this situation try find a friend with a suitable adapter and test it yourself.

Laptop Screen Bezel Replacement

As well as laptop screen replacements often at the same time the laptop screen bezel needs replacing. I have covered screen repair but not the plastic bezel. In this post I shall shed a bit of light on the subject and where are the best places to source one from. 

The bezel itself is relatively easy to replace and normally very straight forward and cheap to source. You can find many reconditioned bezels on auctions sites and at the end of the day it's a small piece of plastic so not alot can be wrong or defective with it when buying it second hand. Fitting is very straight forward simply removing the screws holding it to the back lid and clip it off (this sometimes requires a fair amount of pressure and are easy to break!). Only key point to note is make sure all screws are removed before trying to take the plastic off.
