DELL REPAIR FAQ:

Dell Vostro A860 Motherboard
The computer won't switch on or will crash intermittently. Some video problems also require a motherboard repair as most video chips are soldered onto the system board. Our engineers perform component level repairs on most Dell motherboards. We can replace resistors, capacitors, transistors and also work on the major chips within your system. Our engineers have many years of experience and know how to fix most systemboard faults.

Dell Vostro A860 VGA Video Graphics faults
The system starts up with dots or lines on the bios or intro screen. Graphics are distorted, blocked or pixilated. In some cases the system refuses to boot. Strange effects when windows or mouse are moved on the screen. All these effects can be caused by a faults related to the graphics chips. About 90% of faults can be repaired, the rest are caused by cracks on the motherboard and impossible to repair. Our Advanced Video Repair Technology enables us to restore full function to your laptop in most cases. Manufacturers and their tech support always recommend that you spend hundreds on a new motherboards - we've got a cheaper alternative. Examples: VGA Video Graphics Repair

Dell Vostro A860 Power Jack Pin or Socket
The laptop will not charge the battery. When the battery power runs out the computer stops working. We repair or replace 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 Vostro A860 jack. This causes arcing which can generate enough heat to melt the Vostro A860 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.

Dell Vostro A860 LCD Backlight & inverters
The laptop switches on but the screen remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the Vostro A860 screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Vostro A860 fluorescent light, inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard. Specialist tools are required to determine the exact cause of the fault. 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.

Dell Vostro A860 LCD Screen
We can supply original Dell and compatible replacement LCD screens. In some cases only refurbished screens are available. We don't charge extra for installing and testing screens. Screens come in various sizes (measured diagonally in inches) and resolutions(XGA, SXGA, SXGA+, UXGA...) We need the correct size and resolution to provide you with an accurate quote. While-U-Wait installation at Vostro A860 LCD Screen Dell London at very reasonable prices and risk-free.

Dell Vostro A860 Keyboard
Most Dell keyboards are damaged by liquid spills and general wear. We can supply or install keyboards for most Dell laptops. We also repair keyboard connectors on the system board.

Dell Vostro A860 CPU problems
Intel CPUs hardly ever go wrong, but are very difficult to diagnose. Some will crash on rarely used instructions and at certain temperatures. Unfortunately, hours of testing can be in vain if the problem instruction isn't executed. Overclocking a Vostro A860 CPU in a laptop is not recommended as the cooling systems are designed to dissipate heat at normal speed.

Dell Vostro A860 Overheating
We can install replacement Dell fans and heat sink parts. In cases where the original fan is not available, we can install substitute fans which will be equivalent or surpass the performance of the original Vostro A860 fan.

Dell Vostro A860 Hinge
Some laptops have a problem with the hinge becoming stiff. It becomes difficult to open and close the laptop lid. The plastics may also be damaged by a defective hinge.

Vostro A860 CD/DVD and floppy drives
Our engineers can repair or replace these drives. We have a lot of drives in stock and the work can be carried out very quickly.

Dell Vostro A860 Hard Drive
Faulty hard drives can cause data loss and stop your laptop from booting into Windows. We can replace faulty hard drive and attempt to recover your data. After installing the new drive, our engineers perform a thorough disk test to ensure that your data is as secure as possible.

Dell Vostro A860 Software and Drivers
Viruses and improper shutdowns can lead to the Windows XP operating system or the file system becoming corrupted. We can recover your data and install a fresh operating system or drivers to prevent crashes. We can also recover your data from totally dead or unusable computers.

Dell Vostro A860 Charging problem
Charging problems can be due to batteries nearing their end of life, power supply problems or failed components on the motherboard (FET, MOSFET, Transistor, Diode or Capacitor).

Secondhand or Used DELL Vostro A860
Buying a used laptop is a risk. You may find that the battery does not accept a full charge or the laptop is unstable. Most secondhand sellers consider any laptop that boots into Windows as a working machine, even if it keeps crashing every five minutes. We strongly advise customers against buying used laptops with a DOA warranty as some faults are not immediately apparent.

BIOS update DELL Vostro A860
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. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER interrupt a BIOS update. Let it finish, even if it seems stuck and takes a long time.

Excellent service for Dell laptops. Professional knowledge of the Vostro A860 range of notebooks and high-speed spares availability mean a faster and more dependable laptop repair.
Large stock of rare computer parts - I've had Compaq, Acer and HP keyboards from LaptopRepair1.co.uk... My daughter smashed the display on my new Compaq notebook. LaptopRepair1.co.uk charged less than any other repair shop.... It was a dark day when my backlight failed - Thank you for bringing the light back into my life... Maker wanted to send my laptop to Europe and charge me £200+, LaptopRepair1.co.uk fixed my backlight for £39+VAT - Thank you very much.... I spilled a large rum & coke on my keyboard. LaptopRepair1.co.uk changed the keyboard while I waited – a very expensive rum & coke, but at least my laptop is working – thanks.
