PC and laptop repairs

If your PC has died, it may be possible to resurrect without costing the earth. Often ‘dead’ machines are caused by a single damaged component. When its replaced, everything is back to normal. Alternatively there can also be many damaged components – and a replacement may be more economically viable. I can inspect and advise accordingly – and effect the repair or build a replacement machine, if required.

Laptop repairs can be more troublesome as they are harder to work with inside (each has its own service manual) and sourcing parts can be difficult. I can generally replace malfunctioning parts like hard drives, optical drives, screens, keyboards etc. If you give me the exact make and model number I can get back to you with a quote. I do not repair broken power connectors.

PC and laptop upgrades

Slow machine? More RAM often sorts this out.

No back-up capability? I can supply and fit a DVD writer.

Hard drive running out of space? A larger replacement may be the answer – the new drive can be cloned from the old, so your system will behave in the same way – but with more space. 

PC not keeping up with the current games - an uprated graphics card and/or processor may fix.

These and other upgrades I can provide at reasonable cost.

Notes:

If you have an older machine, you might want to consider replacement rather than upgrade, as there is a limit to how much you can upgrade (without completely rebuilding) as many current components will tend to be incompatible. I can advise on specific machines.
