The laptop won’t turn on. When your laptop doesn’t turn, check if any lights are on or flashing on the laptop—for example, the power light, the drive light, the charging light, or the caps lock. If you can’t see any lights, you need to ensure your charger is plugged in correctly and working. If you don’t have another charger, you need to contact us because we have the equipment to test the charger. If the charger is fine and you still have no power on your laptop.

It’s time to contact Manchester PC to arrange a collection, diagnostics, repair, and return service.

Laptop Casing Coming Apart When Opening The Laptop Lid. The laptop casing coming apart at the laptop’s base or behind the screen when opening and closing the lid is one of the most common problems. The problem is that modern laptops are designed to be light and stylish. For manufacturers such as HP, Dell, Asus, Lenovo, Acer, etc., to achieve the lightweight, they have to cut back on the thickness of their casing, which brings problems. The lighter the laptop, the weaker the outer shell will be. This same problem was caused by the weak hinges that would snap after 6+ months of use in the older laptops. The laptop manufacturers resolved this issue by using shorter and more robust hinges. Therefore, it’s infrequent to find a broken hinge on a modern laptop today. But the same problem appeared behind the hinges in question. Even though the hinges are more robust, the casing has become weaker. The hinges will come away from the casing, causing the laptop to fall apart when opening and closing the lid.

The laptop powers on but fails to boot. When your laptop fails to boot, it can be frustrating and scary at the same time because your data may be corrupted or even deleted. The most common reasons the laptop won’t boot are that the drive may have failed, the Windows operating system is corrupted, the drive has bad blocks, or its file system is damaged. You may face different errors such as boot device not found, laptop going into bios, Windows attempting repairs but fails and keep looping, you get a blue screen error, the laptop starts to boot, but the screen turns black, the laptop keeps restarting, gets stuck on the windows loading screen. If you are experiencing any of the above problems, it’s time to contact Manchester PC, especially if you have essential data on your laptop. The longer you live, the problem the less chance you have of recovering your data—problems like this need to be left to experts.

My laptop is not charging. Your laptop fails to charge or only charges when you move the adaptor cable or position the laptop in a specific position. It’s very common for your laptop’s DC jack to become dislodged from its holding position resulting in a weak connection. The main symptom is moving the adaptor around to get the laptop to charge. However, the problem worsens over time and needs to be repaired as quickly as possible because a loose DC jack can create a short circuit, leading to a more expensive motherboard failure. Another reason your laptop may fail to charge is a faulty battery or charger. Your laptop’s charger might power your laptop but fails to identify the charger. The laptop will restrict the charging to protect the battery and the motherboard—a widespread fault on Dell laptops. Sometimes the most straightforward solution is to replace the charger with the original one. But this doesn’t always solve the problem, and further diagnostics are needed.

I accidentally cracked the screen on my laptop. The modern laptop screens don’t have much protection from the outer casing due to their light and thin designs. As a result, the LCD screens are also very thin and fragile. Even a tiny drop can lead to a cracked LCD screen. We have extensive experience in replacing even the most complex of laptop screens. Most modern laptops apart from MacBook use third-party screen manufacturers. This means the screens are not specific to the laptop manufacturers such as Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, HP, MSI, etc. Therefore, when we replace your screen, you will not notice any difference in the quality. We have an extensive database of screen models, and we will match the screen to your model and, in most cases, replace it with the same model number. We don’t cut corners when it comes to the quality laptop screen, unlike many of our competitors.

Specific keyboard keys are not working on my laptop. Laptop keyboard keys typically stop working due to liquid damage such as sugary drinks or e-liquid spillage. However, they can also fail due to normal tear and wear. We don’t repair keys as the repair never lasts for very long. Therefore, we would look to replace the keyboard. But this is not always that straightforward, as most modern laptops don’t come with replaceable keyboards. Today the laptop keyboards are spot welded to the upper chassis. Even though it’s possible to remove the keyboard and install a new one. The result is never as good as replacing the entire upper chassis. The keyboard doesn’t feel as solid as the original one. Therefore, we would look to replace the entire upper chassis where possible.

Do I need a yearly laptop maintenance check? Yes, you do! Laptops’ CPU and GPU fans are great at pushing dust into the radiator fins. Over time the fins will get blocked, leading to reduced airflow, and in return, your laptop will start overheating. When this happens, the CPU will work harder, and so will the rest of your laptop, which will lead to various operational and hardware issues. Laptops can also develop internal corrosion due to previous liquid damage or exposure to moisture, which can lead to unnecessary hardware failure. Over time your laptop’s hinges will most likely start to come away from the back of the LCD screen, which generally leads to a cracked screen. The untrained eye will miss all of the problems mentioned above, leading to more expensive repairs down the line. Even though preventive maintenance doesn’t guarantee a problem-free laptop, it certainly helps keep the laptop in tip-top shape.
