Q. Why do you offer a NO FIX - NO FEE service when most companies charge for
running diagnostics and engineer time even
when they can't repair the laptop?
A. Our aim is to only profit from successful repairs. We are confident that
our IBM trained engineers will repair 95% of the laptops we receive at the
quoted price. We give you an honest and realistic quote before you send us
the laptop. We try to prevent uneconomical and impossible repairs
being sent to us - this saves you time and carriage costs.
Q. What is the postage for sending back the computer?
A. We charge £18 delivery/insurance for laptops being returned to a
UK mainland address. You can also arrange for collections from our premises
and only pay your own courier service.
Q. Some companies try to sell you a replacement laptop because they make
bigger profits on sales than on repairs. Will you try to sell me a laptop?
A. We don't sell any laptops, so there is no
conflict of interest. Most users prefer to have their existing laptop, with all their favourite software and
data, fixed. Most new laptops are now sold with Vista
and users may need more time to learn the new operating system. Your much loved old
camera, scanner, printer or webcam might need new drivers. Some
manufacturers have no plans to developdrivers for older hardware.
Q. What is the time scale for repairs?
A. It really depends on the exact nature of the fault. Most backlights,
keyboards, LCDs and broken power socket pins can be repaired in 1-2 days, when parts are
in stock, otherwise 4-5 days. Video and motherboard faults usually take 2-5 days
because extensive testing is required after repairs. Same day repairs need
to be prearranged to ensure that engineer time and parts are allocated for the job -
please call.
Q. What happens if my computer develops the same fault during the 90 day
warranty period.
A. We have a very low returns rate, about 1 in 50 repairs. With all complex electronics there is a small chance that a fault may
recur. We
aim to give all warranty jobs top priority and fix the fault quickly. We
also reimburse the postage for warranty returns. If the
fault can't be repaired then a FULL REFUND will be given for the initial
repair and the laptop returned to you.
