subject: Laptop Repair Parts
[print this page] If you want to have your old Dell laptop repaired, what options do you have? The first option, of course, is to send your laptop to the manufacturer, Dell, for them to repair it. Take note that unless you took advantage of an extended warranty, you will have to pay Dell to repair your old laptop, as well as shoulder shipping and handling costs. This method can be quite pricey, though.
On the other hand, you can look into buying Dell laptops replacement parts. If you want to try this option, the first thing you should look into is what is causing your Dell laptop to malfunction. In the first place, there might not be anything wrong with your laptop's hardware. Malfunctioning software may cause your laptop to perform below par. So, instead of running around and looking for Dell laptops replacement parts, you should be focusing your efforts on looking for an installer of this software. Do not arrive at the hasty conclusion that because there is something wrong with your laptop, it must be a hardware problem. If it ends up that all your laptop's parts are okay and you still insisted on replacing them, you may have added damage to it.
If you are sure that some defective part is causing your laptop to malfunction, then take note of the part number of that component. Be relentless in finding a replacement part that bears the specific part number. Do not settle for anything that is allegedly compatible with your laptop. Laptops of the same model can still contain different parts, which is why it is very important to match the part number. Look for it on the Internet, in laptop repair stores, and on online stores. If you think you have exhausted all possible options and you still haven't seen an identical part number, consult with Dell whether it is alright to substitute the defective part with the parts you have found that are allegedly compatible with your laptop. Dell may actually sell you a replacement part as well. You can then send the defective laptop and the part to a local laptop repair shop or an online laptop repair company. As mentioned earlier, dell can fix your laptop, but manufacturers usually charger higher once a unit is out of warranty. Of course, you can also repair your laptop yourself, as long as you have the patience to go through countless manuals and instructional materials.
However, be prepared in case your laptop still doesn't function properly even if you have already done the necessary installation of Dell laptop replacement part. If you have already replaced the supposed defective part and your laptop still doesn't work properly, then you might as well consider buying a new unit and selling this defective laptop to one of those online companies that buy laptops for cash. In the meantime, you can make price comparisons, and take into consideration what specs you need to have in the new laptop. Do you want to stick with Dell or are you going to try a new brand? Will you go for a netbook or are you going to buy a new laptop? Are you looking into tablet PCs as well? You have to decide on these things so that you won't waste too much time on your next move.
