Questions nerds often hear about Laptop Hardware Repair
Can I do hardware repair on my own?
Sure. But you’ll need a few tools. And it can be very time consuming or difficult if you’ve never done it before. You’ll often have to remove multiple components to get to the one you want to repair or replace. If you’d rather skip all of that and have us do it for you, give us a call
How do I tell the difference between hardware and software problems?
Trial and error. It’s best to try software fixes first, then look at hardware if you’ve already ruled out software. The exception to this is if there is obvious physical damage.
