Out of warranty, laptops ill?

Laptop prices are getting easier, but laptop diseases are not easy to fix. There are diseases where the cost of repairing and buying components is higher than buying new machines of the same life

Many people admit that there is a rule about "sick" time of laptops. According to many users of laptops, at the end of the warranty period (usually a laptop is covered by a one-year warranty, in which the battery is only covered by a 6-month warranty), many machines are malfunctioning, mainly hardware .

4 diseases consuming money

About the common diseases of laptops after the warranty period, engineers Dinh Tien Tuong, head of technical department of iCARE said, each month, iCARE alone received repair of 300 laptops in the form of translation service. Through the diary of iCARE, the common error of the laptops brought here is the fault in 4 main components: mainboard, hard drive, RAM and LCD screen.

With the above failures, the way to fix most is to replace. In fact, on computers with out-of-warranty terms, with these four types of laptop components, the actual new replacement in the true sense can only be two components: hard drive and RAM, and The mainboard and LCD screen are utilized from old bodies. The reason is that it is difficult to find compatible components or if so, the price is also very high.

Tuong added that although hard drives and RAM have many new items, because many older models are configured low, finding compatible components is not easy. If it is found, the cost is also higher than its true value. Not only old machines but also new machines are very difficult in finding replacement parts.

Mr. Quang Vinh, an employee of FPT warranty center, said: " There are many central models out of stock, so they have to import from abroad for a period of 1-2 months. Many models are new but because limited in some areas of use, it is not easy to find parts. Many companies have no spare parts, so they have to find sources of floating outside . " According to the quotation at iCare, the lowest cost of hardware repair is 20 USD, while replacing the LCD screen or the mainboard cost 500 USD.

Through information from laptop repair centers, Toshiba, Acer, Compaq and IBM models are easy to find replacement parts because these brands appear more on the market, more user. As for brands like NEC, Sony Vaio . because few users should find compatible components to "boil tears"!

Select "face" to fix the machine

Mr. P., had to pity at selling a computer for only one third of the price he bought a month earlier because the machine had been from "crippled buffalo to dead buffalo" when he brought it to a small shop above. Nguyen Thien Thuat street (District 3) to repair the power supply. I don't understand how the mechanic is connected but after fixing it, just plug in the power then the mainboard fire!

Mr. V., a warranty center of a warranty center until now still does not forget the anniversary of deducting the entire month's salary to pay the customer just because he did not check the customer's machine, but before that, the customer himself Take the machine to a store near your house to fix it and the machine lost the CPU before the customer delivered it to you.

According to the experience of many people, when a laptop is damaged, it requires a large computer repair place with many experienced technicians because of frequent contact with many brands, many machines. An important factor is that these places also own many components to easily replace according to customer requirements.

It should be noted that when you bring the device to any address, it is necessary to ask the staff to open the test machine as well as to identify the components to be replaced as well as the attached price to avoid any trouble later.
