If you own a desk­top com­puter and it is out of its war­ranty period, it is likely that it has faults with var­i­ous hard­ware. If it cur­rently does not have any faults it is likely that it will even­tu­ally develop faults with var­i­ous hard­ware parts. Had­ware faults that are com­mon include

• The hard­drive disk. You are likely to need to replace your hard­drive in your com­put­ers life time.
• RAM. Most com­put­ers have mul­ti­ple RAM sticks. If one stick goes faulty it can pre­vent your com­puter from working.

It is unlikely that your moth­er­board will sim­ply break. If it does though there is a chance that a replace­ment will not be pos­si­ble depend­ing on the age of your com­puter. Hard­ware faults in moth­er­boards are often caused by sta­tic or from long term dust expo­sure. If we can replace a moth­er­board, we will. It is also unlikely that your CPU will break. You should how­ever have the paste that is on your CPU replaced every other year to pre­vent overheating.

We can replace hard­ware faults in under 30 min­utes in most cases. Pre­ven­tive steps such as clean­ing the parts and replac­ing the paste can also be com­pleted in under 30 min­utes. If we do not have the hard­ware onsite we may need to take the com­puter back to the workshop.

We will always con­sult the cus­tomer before pro­ceed­ing with repair­ing any hard­ware faults on their computer.
