Laptop Screen Replacement in Derby
A damaged laptop screen can make your device nearly unusable. Whether it's cracked glass, dead pixels, or a screen that no longer displays anything at all, I can replace it with a high-quality part that restores your laptop’s visual performance. This service covers all major brands and screen types including standard LED, OLED, full HD and 4K displays. If your screen flickers, goes black intermittently, or shows visual distortions, a replacement could be the perfect solution to bring your device back to life.
Virus, Malware & Spyware Removal
Pop-ups, strange behaviour, and performance drops can be signs of malware. I provide thorough virus removal services that eliminate hidden threats while protecting your important files. I also secure your laptop with up-to-date protection and recommend steps to prevent future infections. Whether it’s ransomware, spyware, or browser hijackers, I’ll get your system clean and stable again.
Windows Reinstallation/Repair
If your laptop is crashing, slow to boot, or riddled with errors, a Windows reinstall or repair can bring it back to full health. I’ll safely back up your data, then reinstall or repair your system so it runs smoothly again. This can fix software corruption, driver issues, and malware damage. You’ll get a clean setup with your files intact (where possible), giving your laptop a fresh start without losing everything.
Data Recovery & Backup
Lost files don’t always mean lost hope. If your laptop won’t boot or a drive has failed, I can often recover important files, photos, and documents. I also offer data transfer and full system backup services to help you avoid future loss. Recovery options range from simple software-based solutions to more in-depth hardware-level techniques — all done locally, safely, and confidentially.
Laptop Not Powering On Diagnosis
When your laptop shows no signs of life, it doesn’t always mean it’s beyond repair. I’ll perform a detailed diagnostic to uncover the root cause — whether it’s a failed power circuit, motherboard issue, faulty RAM, or simply a dead battery. Once identified, I’ll provide clear options to repair or replace the faulty parts, giving you a transparent view of your best next steps. Don’t give up on a lifeless laptop — let me take a look.
SSD Installation & Upgrade
Upgrading to a solid-state drive (SSD) can make your laptop feel like new. SSDs boot faster, load programs quicker, and are more reliable than traditional hard drives. I’ll handle the full installation, including data cloning or fresh setup depending on your needs. This upgrade is one of the best ways to breathe new life into an aging laptop and improve day-to-day performance without investing in a brand-new machine.
Slow Laptop Cleanup & Optimization
Over time, laptops slow down due to cluttered files, startup bloat, and background tasks. I offer a full performance tune-up: removing junk, disabling unnecessary services, and cleaning up your system. You’ll notice faster boot times, quicker program launches, and smoother operation overall. It’s like a spring clean for your laptop, helping it feel refreshed without the need for hardware changes.
Hard Drive Replacement/Upgrade
Upgrading to a solid-state drive (SSD) can make your laptop feel like new. SSDs boot faster, load programs quicker, and are more reliable than traditional hard drives. I’ll handle the full installation, including data cloning or fresh setup depending on your needs. This upgrade is one of the best ways to breathe new life into an aging laptop and improve day-to-day performance without investing in a brand-new machine.
Battery Replacement
If your battery no longer holds a charge or dies quickly, it may be time for a replacement. I offer high-quality battery replacements compatible with most laptop models, restoring mobility and reliability to your device. Whether your battery is swollen, completely dead, or just not lasting as long as it used to, I’ll fit a new one that helps you work untethered again, without worrying about where the next power socket is.
Motherboard Repair or Replacement
The motherboard is the heart of your laptop, and when it fails, it can cause a variety of symptoms. From no power to USB ports not working, I’ll inspect and, where viable, repair or replace your motherboard. For certain models, cost-effective replacements are available. I’ll give you honest advice about what’s possible and what’s worth doing based on your device’s age and value.
Password Removal & Login Issues
Forgot your Windows password or locked out of your laptop? I offer secure password reset services without wiping your data. If you’re stuck at the login screen or can’t access your user account, I’ll help you regain access safely. I also provide user account repairs and can set up new profiles if needed — all without losing your important files or settings.
External Port Repairs (USB, HDMI, Audio Jack)
Loose or dead ports can make your laptop frustrating to use. Whether it’s a USB slot not recognizing devices, a faulty headphone jack, or an HDMI port that no longer outputs video, I can fix or replace these components. Get your peripherals, displays, and accessories working properly again without relying on adapters or workarounds.
Blue Screen (BSOD) Troubleshooting
Random blue screen errors can be frustrating and unpredictable. I’ll thoroughly check your system for failing hardware, driver conflicts, and system file errors that trigger crashes. With clear diagnostics and fixes tailored to the issue, I’ll stop the BSODs and get your laptop running smoothly again, without the guesswork.
BIOS/UEFI Issues & Password Removal
If your laptop is stuck at boot or locked out with a forgotten BIOS password, I can help. I offer password resets, BIOS updates, and repairs for corrupted firmware that stops your system from loading properly. I handle this with care to avoid data loss, and where possible, preserve your settings. Don’t let a locked-out system leave you stranded.
Driver Issues & Updates
Missing or outdated drivers can stop devices from working correctly. If your webcam, sound, display, or other features aren’t behaving, I can identify and install the correct drivers. I ensure your laptop has the latest and most stable versions, solving compatibility issues and keeping everything running as it should. This service often fixes problems other techs miss.
Laptop Hinge Repair
A broken or stiff hinge can make opening and closing your laptop risky. Left unchecked, it can cause screen or casing damage. I offer hinge repairs and replacements for most models, reinforcing the structure and allowing smooth, secure operation again. If your screen housing is separating or you hear cracking sounds when adjusting the lid, don’t wait — I can fix it properly and prevent further issues.
Wi-Fi or Network Connection Issues
Can’t connect to the internet or keep dropping out? I diagnose and fix Wi-Fi and network problems caused by hardware faults, driver errors, or system misconfigurations. Whether your signal is weak, not detected at all, or won’t connect to networks, I’ll get your laptop reliably online again. Perfect for remote working, streaming, or just browsing without interruption.
Laptop RAM Upgrade
Running out of memory can cause your laptop to slow down or struggle with multitasking. I offer RAM upgrades tailored to your system, helping it run faster and handle more applications smoothly. Whether you need extra memory for work, gaming, or general use, I’ll install compatible modules and ensure they’re configured correctly. It’s a cost-effective way to extend the useful life of your laptop.
Overheating & Fan Repair/Cleaning
An overheating laptop can crash, freeze, or even cause permanent internal damage. If your device gets hot to the touch or the fan is unusually loud, it likely needs attention. I’ll inspect the cooling system, clean out built-up dust, and replace failing fans where necessary. You’ll get a cooler, quieter machine that runs efficiently, protecting the hardware inside and giving you longer use whether you’re working, gaming, or just browsing.
Trackpad/Touchpad Repair
A faulty trackpad can make navigation difficult, especially if you rely on it instead of an external mouse. If your touchpad is skipping, freezing, or clicking erratically, I can diagnose and repair the issue quickly. Common fixes include replacing the touchpad unit, reconnecting internal cables, or addressing driver issues. I work with both traditional and modern glass touchpads and always ensure functionality is restored fully, so you can use your laptop as intended, without frustration.
Charging Port Repair
When your laptop won’t charge or only works when the cable is at a certain angle, the charging port could be damaged. I can repair or replace broken DC jacks and USB-C charging ports with precision, restoring a secure and stable connection. This fix helps prevent battery drain issues and avoids the need to constantly jiggle the cable. Don’t risk damaging your motherboard — let me sort out the port for safe, consistent charging every time.
Keyboard Replacement
Typing problems can quickly turn your laptop into a frustration. If your keys are missing, stuck, or not responding, a keyboard replacement will get you back up and running. I’ll fit a brand-new, compatible keyboard that works just like the original. Whether you’ve spilled something on it, damaged the keys, or have worn letters from heavy use, I’ll handle the swap cleanly and professionally, giving your laptop a new lease on life without the cost of replacing the whole machine.
