What You Need To Know About Laptops!
Laptops have very few upgradable parts.
Desktops are easy to work at with interchangeable parts.

Most laptops come with a basic entry level of memory installed.
Upgrading the memory in your laptop can make things considerably smoother and faster.

In most cases, memory is quite cheap and I try to locate the best possible price for your laptop memory - I don't leave you to navigate this jungle yourself to find the correct Ram.

HARD DISK REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE TO SOLID STATE DRIVES ( SSD)
Quite a number of laptops can be dramatically improved by the installation of the latest Solid State Disc Drives.
Older drives have a spinning disc inside and a swinging arm, which naturally wears down in time.
By fitting a Solid State Drive it has been found that you ca give any laptop a much needed speed boost, especially when you can't add any additional memory to it.
** IN SUPPORT OF THIS SERVICE ** WHERE POSSIBLE ** all your files, Photos, Music and Internet shortcuts will be transferred to the new drive, so as the computer / laptop 'seems' to be the same - however - you will INSTANTLY notice the speed improvement!!!.

MONITOR REPLACEMENT...
On occasions, the screen on laptops will fade , get cracked accidentally or develop intermittent visual faults.
This repair is well beyond the average computer user.
If your laptop develops one of these faults I can arrange a repair for you at a price that doesn't match the price you paid for the actual laptop!!.
KEYBOARD KEY REPAIR OR KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT
Have you inadvertantly spilt coffee / wine or another sticky liquid into your laptop keyboard? This liquid will usually seep to the bottom of the device.
Has it stopped working - are the keys not responding to your pressing or has the keyboard lost a few keys? - Worry not!
In most cases the keyboard is replaceable.
Please make sure and call me to inspect your laptop - I may well save you paying a costly inspection fee and fixing the fault at 1/3 of the business cost!!

GENERAL LAPTOP PART REPLACEMENT
This is how some laptops end up on my desk!
Over the years I now have considerable experience in laptop disassembly and reconstruction, due to a few good friends whose laptops have died and gone to 'Computer Heaven', so they donated them for me to practice disassembly!.
This has given me 'Worry Free' exploration into the specialist world of laptop repair. I now have disassembled well over 95%
of today's modern laptops and computers
It is vitally important to understand the compositoion of most laptops before you end up with 1000 bits on your worktop!
If your laptop needs a new part that will take a repair shop a number of hours to get down to the replacemnt level, believe me, "You will have to pay for the privilege!!" - Not in my repair studio!!! I am in the position where a repair isn't taking up valuable working space and therefore I don't need to charge you for that time consuming service!
