Laptop Key Replacement

A fairly common job I encounter on a weekly basis singular or multiple laptop key replacement. Sometimes the customer has managed to keep the keys to one side and not loose them or the clips that go with them, other times the keys have come off and got lost. Either way it's a very small job and very straight forward the majority of the time.

In this particular scenario the laptop keyboard was fully functional but had 2 keys missing. The keys themselves are usually very easy to source if it is a fairly common manufacturer. I ordered the keys along with the clips that come with them to attach them back to the keyboard. It can be a little fiddly at times as the clips are very delicate and easily damaged so it's best to take your time doing it. Once on the keyboard was fully functional and laptop repaired.

Laptop Screen Replacement

Another laptop screen replacement today. I have covered this topic before but diagnosis was slightly different. This laptop hadn't been smashed or dropped but simply the screen had developed white vertical lines running down it. This is typical of LCD screens of a certain age and simply indicated a laptop screen replacement.

There can be other issues when it comes to lines running down or across the screen, vertical lines usually means the LCD is at fault, horizontal lines could be either the video harness or the GPU. The simplest way to diagnose what's at fault is to use an external monitor and see if any lines display that way you can narrow down what part  is at fault.

Laptop Memory Upgrade

Slow laptops are all too common and with the industry and applications we use becoming ever more resource demanding it's a fact of life that sometimes even the best configured system needs an upgrade. Laptop upgrades are very straight forward cheap and effective. The first and simplest was to speed up your laptop is a memory upgrade.

Without getting too technical the memory basically assists common tasks such as multitasking processes such as having your emails open while typing a word document. The size of the memory determines how fast it can process this information giving the laptop a smoother and less strained feel when using it. The individual who wanted a memory upgrade used intensive audio creating software so it made sense to get the most out of the laptop to increase his productivity. All in all laptop memory upgrades are recommended to everyone but quite often over looked.

Laptop Keyboard Replacement

It's a surprise that I haven't blogged about this problem as of yet as it possible is the most common problem I encounter behind cracked laptop screens. I'm talking of course about laptop keyboard replacements, 90% coming from spillage to the keyboard causing irreversible damage to the part.  Should the spill be limited and dried out quick enough there is some hope it could function and work as before but most of the time if it does temporarily work then cease to.

A busy mum whose son was eating his dinner while using the laptop knocked his drink over onto it causing the very problem described above. After sourcing the part and fitting the new keyboard all for £40 she was happy with the work and turn around time. Laptop keyboard replacement is a very straight forward job and relatively cheap but the best course of action is to try hold off having that cup of tea while on facebook!

Laptop Data Transfer

After a busy week due to buying new cars and sorting out paperwork I'm a little behind in my blogs! Back with it now though and worked on some laptop data transfer for a student this morning. She had presentations due this week and needed work exchanging from one laptop to another. As straight forward as this would seem it didn't end up being that way.

One laptop was failing to boot up. She didn't want the expense of sorting the extra laptop out and just wanted data of it temporarily to get on with her uni presentation. Instead of repairing the laptop I simply booted to safe mode recovered the data to usb pen and transferred it across for a nominal charge. She said she did intend to get the laptop repaired at a later date but was more concerned with getting her presentations out the way and work in!

Laptop Motherboard Replacement

Half way to the weekend and had an unlucky chap with a laptop that would turn on but not output any display. After swapping out the usual (ram, hard drive, cpu etc) trying external display hook up with no luck it has come down to the motherboard. Any time a motherboard dies its a question of cost effectiveness and whether or not due to the age of the laptop would it be worth while investing it a new one.

I try to keep my fitting cost low for motherboards unlike alot of other companies as sometimes people make out there is more to it than there actually is. Alot of the time I've fitted a motherboard as quick as a screen so I see no reason to charge more based on the type of part we fit. Managed to get a new motherboard and fitting for under £90 needless to say the chap was chuffed to bits!

Laptop Data Recovery

After a productive morning I've just finished my next job which was a laptop needing some data recovering. The laptops motherboard is dead and wasn't part of the job to fix it as the person knew this already. They simply wanted their old files (pictures, documents, contacts) copying across onto the new laptop they had purchased.

This is where the very handy caddy comes into play allowing internal hard drives to be plugged into it and converting it into a hot swap able  usb device. Very straight forward removed the hard drive inserted it into the caddy and copied across the files!
