Catastrophe: your laptop has stopped working. If it's under warranty, you are hoping the manufacturer will take care of the repair. But how long will that take? Can you go without your laptop for 3 weeks or longer? No, you need it fixed now. That means taking it to a local shop and having it repaired quickly and professionally. So how how do you who to choose? If you're looking for Maryland laptop repair, follow these guidelines:
Laptop will not charge: if you are unable to get a charge for your laptop or you need to wiggle the cord and hold it at a certain angle to get power, you need a DC jack repair. This is the most difficult laptop repair because it involves disassembling the entire unit and then soldering a new power jack on to the motherboard. Do NOT try this yourself if you are not proficient in soldering. Some shops even outsource this repair because it requires soldering.
If you need laptop screen repair: your screen is cracked, has lines across the screen, there's a red colored tint developing or the screen is very dim. It's time to get the screen replaced with a brand new one. This repair should generally cost under $200.00 and you should get a good warranty with the labor (we recommend no less than 30 days! Shop around for a 90 day warranty with VitalTech).
If the lights are on, but nothing is happening when the power button is pressed: your motherboard is probably damaged. This repair can take longer than the others based on how extensive the damage is and how many chips need to be ordered. Pricing should be under $250.00. Get a warranty for this one! If your unit is known to have a manufacturer defect with the motherboard, repairing the unit will not prevent a recurring issue!
