replace resistors, capacitors, transistors and also work on the major
chips within your system. Our highly skilled engineers have many years of experience
and know how to fix most motherboard faults.

Power Jack Pin or Socket The laptop will not charge the battery. When
the battery power runs out the computer stops working. We repair power sockets where the power pin has broken or has become
disconnected from the motherboard. In some cases the power connector
makes a poor connection with the Latitude D500 D531 D530 D505 C640 jack. This causes arcing
which can generate enough heat to melt the Latitude D500 D531 D530 D505 C640 dc jack and the
power pin may become lose. It is best to get the Dell power socket repair before the battery is totally depleted as this can cause permanent
damage to the battery.If you get a electrical burning smell from near the power connector then disconnect the adapter immediately. The arcing is burning away the motherboard.

LCD Backlight & inverters The laptop switches on but the screen
remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the Latitude D500 D531 D530 D505 C640
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Latitude D500 D531 D530 D505 C640 fluorescent light,
inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard.
Backlights use very high voltages and it is easy to cause damage to
the system if they are not correctly handled and installed. Our
engineers can replace the backlight lamps in most TFT/LCD screens
including the new xbrite panels. We also have access to most backlight
inverters and cables. We can perform repairs on some very rare
inverters. It is very easy to destroy an expensive LCD/TFT when
removing/installing the CCFL. Our engineers are trained using broken
LCD panels before they can work on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.

BIOS
update DELL Latitude D500 D531 D530 D505 C640
Many motherboards are destroyed by incomplete or corrupted BIOS
updates. A BIOS update should only be performed if it is critically
important. Don't do a BIOS update just for the sake of having the latest
version on your computer. Ensure that your computer is stable before
performing a BIOS update. Run diagnostics to check memory, hard
drive, keyboard and video graphics. In
99% of cases a failed bios update will make the computer totally unusable
so take a backup of your software and data too. Make sure that you
have a good connection to your mains adapter and that the battery is
fully charged.
