I need to repair my
laptop. What should I do? If your notebook requires
repair you will need to send it to us. If you live in South London
area you can arrange the collection. Please call us on 0208
77 33 567 or fill the form.
If
you need to send the laptop by post please print and complete our
Repair Authorization Form and send it with the machine to us. Please
ensure your laptop is well packaged, in a strong box with at least
three inches of clearance all around it and plenty of packing.
Please also ensure that you use an insured courier service,
as we are not liable for any machine that does not reach us intact!
Many customers use Parcel 2
Go.
If you decide not to go ahead with the repair once we
have estimated the cost or we are unable to repair it we will charge
a £29 diagnostic and handling
fee. Please read the Repair Terms and Conditions below
before sending your laptop to us.
How long is it going to
take? Most laptop repairs do not take very long, so we
aim to return machines as quickly as possible to our customers.
Providing we have parts in stock most machines are repaired within
three to five working days. Where we need to order parts in they
usually are with us the next working day, so allow an extra day or
two. For various reasons a few repairs take longer. The most common
reasons are that parts are not available quickly, or that the machine
has multiple faults. If this happens we will try and keep you
advised, but please give us a call or email to check progress.
Software installation We can reinstall
your operating system and drivers for you. Most commonly we would do
this after a new hard drive has been fitted, but for various reasons
you may wish to take advantage of this at other times. We will not
normally install other software, and we will require you to supply us
with evidence that you hold an appropriate license. If required we
will download drivers as part of this service. There is a standard
charge for this, depending on whether you have a CD with your laptop
or not. Please note this process will destroy any existing data on
the laptop.
What if I need to upgrade my laptop? If
you send your laptop for repair and you also wish to upgrade your
laptop's memory and (or) hard drive we will charge you additional £20
(parts are not included). But if you only upgrading your laptop we
will charge you £29 (parts are not included).
What
with my data? You need to
back up your data - we cannot accept responsibility for it's loss!
We can back up your data for you for an extra £35. Please
remember to specify the name of all files you want back up (save). We
will not be able to save any programs such as Photoshop etc. We can
save, pictures, music, document files only!
Repair

the terms and conditions, so please read them!
If the cost of
a repair, fix or workaround does not exceed the Minimum Charge
(currently £79) you agree we can go ahead and that you will pay
this charge.
If the cost would exceed the Minimum Charge we
will provide you with an estimate for repair. If you decide not to
accept this estimate then we will make a £29 handling charge to
cover labour, postage and packaging to return the laptop to you will
cost an extra £20. If you decide not to pay this charge or will
not collect your laptop in 30 days after we have noticed you to
collect it we will dispose of the laptop for you.
You are
agreeing to pay for any work we have carried out on your behalf,
whether you have instructed us verbally, by phone, by fax, by email,
in writing or via any other medium or via a third party. We will not
charge you more than the Minimum Charge without your agreement.
It
is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that charges are paid
for and return arranged. We will not normally release repairs until
payment has been received. We may insist on payment being made by
cleared funds. We reserve the right to dispose of machines after one
month where payment has not been made, to minimize costs.
These
Terms and Condition apply regardless of whether a signed Repair
Authorisation Form is submitted with the laptop.
