Motherboard
![]()

The motherboard is a very complex and fragile system. Once the motherboard craps out, it has to be replace. Though there are a few cases where soldering can repair it.
Any number of things can go wrong with the motherboard! A brief list includes: short circuiting, overheating (dust compiling or keeping the laptop on a pillow or bed surface), spilling liquids, users who try to “upgrade BIOS” but clearly don’t have a clue what they’re doing and even rusting due to a highly humidified neighborhoods (we’re looking at you Long Island!)
All you have to do to prevent your precious motherboard from crashing is to make sure it stays cool and dust free. Please invest a little money into caring for your laptop and it will serve you well.

Mouse/Touchpad/Trackpoint

When touchpad problems occur usually a number of things have to be looked at. Typical problems included liquid spillage, time-related events, or manufacturing issues.
If touchpad response is slow most likely the laptop is too old and simple start ups overburden the device. Most touchpads, unfortunately, live for about 3-4 years on average. If consulting our technicians, it usually takes up to 30 minutes to determine what the issues are and another 2 hours to get it back up and running.
If deciding whether it’s worth repairing an old laptop, consider the following. Though the cost of a new laptop is approximately 500 for an average performing laptop, there’s also the time put into set up for your device (such as programs and transferring data) and of course there’s always the risk of the new laptop malfunctioning at some point.
Overall, if something goes wrong with your touchpad or trackpoint, double-check the peripherals. It doesn’t hurt to perform a diagnostic on other parts as well.

Keyboard Problems

With regular laptop use, the keyboards eventually becomes grimy and the keys get stuck.
This happens if the user’s hands are dirty from eating food. Not only does the keyboard buildup grime over time but the stuck keys effect the overall performance. In some cases, this is an easy fix. However, what if you spill coffee on it?
Depending on the type of fluid and how quick the user reacts, there could be no damage to the keyboard and laptop (which is possible if it’s only water). Sugary liquids will leave a sticky residue and parts might have to be replaced.
There are spill-proof laptops on the market. While convenient, it isn’t completely safe to jostle the laptop around. Be cautious when traveling with your laptop.

Hard Drives

It’s a common scenario. One day you turn on your Laptop/MAC/PC. Instead of the familiar Operating System logo (Linux/Windows/Mac/etc) there is nothing displayed on the screen. Or even worse, you see the blue screen of death. As the realization of something terrible has happened you think “My computer’s dead!” Have you lost weeks of work, hours of free time, important files or sentimental picture? Maybe even your job?
Well the good news is that Laptop/MAC/PC isn’t dead. The bad news is, the hard drive is malfunctioning. The hard drive is the part of a Laptop/MAC/PC is constantly in use. While the Laptop/MAC/PC is running, the hard drive is continuously spinning at 5400 rotations per minutes. The hard drive is always in a state ready to fetch the necessary information when you need. Eventually the mechanical parts wear out – taking on average 3 – 5 years until the disaster strikes.
There are plenty of signs before the hard drive becomes completely disabled. Usually the Operating System like Microsoft Windows becomes very slow, unstable, crashes with blue screens, disk not found errors on a start up, etc…
Prevention is the key. However, if the problem has developed past the prevention point then there are multiple recovery options available. The hard drive is designed to handle certain amount of stress and there are multiple recovery levels. Our technicians can give 60% assurance that the data (all your important documents and pictures) can be recovered within 24 hours.
