Overheatingĭoes your laptop work for about 20–30 minutes but then shut off suddenly? Does it get very hot at the bottom? Heat in a laptop is a killer. We can replace the keyboard of nearly all brands of laptops, including Apple MacBooks. Is your keyboard missing keys? Did water (or wine) spill on your laptop and now certain keys don't work? Do the keys keep popping off? It's probably time to replace your keyboard. In absolute worst case scenarios the Motherboard needs to be replaced. But sometimes the keyboard might need to be replaced. In most cases we can clean the laptop and get it working again without any new parts required.
We will advise you on what can be done, from rescuing the data off your laptop, right up to stripping the laptop down, cleaning the individual components, and bringing your laptop back to life. As the liquid dries, the sugar will corrode the components inside the laptop causing more damage. If it was anything except water, especially alcohol, or sugary drinks, then you want to take your laptop to a specialist as quickly as possible. If it was water, you might be lucky enough that in a couple of days you can power the laptop back on and it will be fine. Then turn the laptop upside down, so the liquid can hopefully fall out of the keyboard. You really don't want to turn on the laptop while there is water in there. If you have spilled something on your laptop, the first thing you need to do is remove the battery & power cord if possible. The problem is that laptops don't really like liquid.

We're so sure of our fixes that if it breaks again within 3 months, for any reason, we'll fix it for free. When we fix it, we'll make sure that it's as secure as it can be. Most manufacturers don't make the connection between the DC Jack and the board strong enough so they break easily. It's actually very important to do this because each time you wiggle the connector, you're risking breaking it and sending an electrical surge into the laptop, which can cause data loss. (By the way, "wobbly" & "wiggle" are as close to technical jargon as we get.) Most likely the DC Jack needs to be replaced. You'll know that your DC Jack is faulty if your laptop only works on battery power and won't charge or if the DC jack feels wobbly and you need to wiggle the power cord around to make it come on.
It is very common for the DC jack to break, so don't worry if yours has. The power socket on your laptop, where you connect the power cable, is called a DC Jack.
For Apple MacBooks, we are considerably cheaper than going to Apple directly for screen repairs.

With laptop prices so low, it can be really tempting to throw the old one away and invest in a new model. After a while your laptop will feel a lot slower than it used to.
