The Benefits of Computer Maintenance
We are dependant on computers and they are part of our everyday lives whether we like it or not. Just like a car a computer requires regular maintenance to keep it running efficiently, computer servicing keeps you safe online whilst preventing a minor problem from becoming a major issue. Regular preventitive maintenance and laptop servicing is critical to keeping your computer secure and ensures your computer continues to operate at its best.
These are some examples of our services:
Boost Performance Of An Aging Laptop or Desktop
Breathe new life into your existing computer and increase your system performance without having to purchase a new machine.
Changing a traditional type spinning hard drive (found in most older devices) to a modern Solid State Drive will make a dramatic improvement to the performance of an older machine. We recommend combining the hard drive upgrade with a clean install of Windows to boost performance further. This will result in boot up times under 30 seconds, faster application load times and other everyday tasks. It will feel like you've purchased a brand new machine at a fraction of the cost of replacement!
Overheating Laptop
Laptops are prone to overheating due to hardware componants being placed in close proximity to each other allowing little room for air circulation.
If your laptop feels hot with fans continuously running loudly or the laptop keeps unexpectedly restarting itself, then vent clogging due to dust and debris build up is the reason. See picture above and for video click here
Operating a overheating laptop will cause system slowdowns causing the laptop to struggle with the most basic of tasks such as opening a browser window.
It also the cause of hardware damage as with many electrical componants they are suseptible to heat damage which will shorten the lifespan of the laptop.
If your laptop is overheating, prevent further damage by booking laptop servicing to clean out dust and debris.

Memory Upgrade
If your computer has lower than needed memory specification, adding more memory is one of the easier ways to boost your PC’s performance.
Memory or RAM is the hardware component your computer uses to store data so it can be accessed quickly and this has a considerable effect on total system performance. If there is a delay of several seconds after launching a program, or it is not possible to run multiple programs at the same time without a slowdown in computer performance, then your computer may benefit from a memory upgrade. We can quickly test for this and install the correct memory needed for your system.
Laptop Power Socket Repair
If your laptop stops charging or charges intermittently and it isn't a faulty laptop charger, then it's possible you need a power socket / jack plug repair.
If you need to wiggle the power cord around to get the laptop charging light to remain on, then it is important to get laptop repair quickly before the possibility of the power socket shorting out and irreparably damaging the laptop motherboard. A new motherboard supplied and fitted would cost more than the value of the laptop in most cases.
A power socket repair involves a complete stripdown of the laptop to gain access to the faulty socket. Once repaired the laptop is repaired and tested it will be returned to you within 5 working days subject to parts availability and stock.
