Wilmington NC Laptop Repair
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
We had a Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook come in this week. Our customer lives in Wilmington, NC but brought their machine to us for a second opinion. The local shop to them in Wilmington told them that their laptop motherboard needed to be replaced and that the boards were around $600. When they called we informed them that our diagnostics are free and that we would be happy to check the unit out. The unit would turn on but would shut off when they tried to access the Internet.
They dropped the machine off and we took a look at it. The laptop would shut off after being on for just a minute or two- it didn't matter if the Internet was accessed or not. The unit was simply overheating. The area where the hot air is supposed to blow out was clogged with dust. We thoroughly cleaned it out. The unit also only has 512MB RAM and it supported DDR2. DDR2 memory is very cheap right now and our customer authorized us to bump the machine up to 2GB RAM which quadrupled the amount of memory.
The laptop now runs fast and cool!It was also repaired about 75% less than what the other people quoted, and correctly repaired.
