We repair notebooks from all manufacturers. When something fails, we do not replace the whole assembly but repair it at chip level, which makes the repair affordable for you.

Mainboard repairs: If your notebook no longer switches on, freezes sporadically, has connectors with a loose contact or the battery no longer charges ... the cause is usually a mainboard fault. We do not replace the whole mainboard. We locate the faulty component on the board and replace only that part. We also carry out BGA chip soldering.

Graphics card repairs: Because the graphics card or graphics chip is soldered directly onto the mainboard, the entire mainboard is normally replaced. Using a special infrared soldering station, we can replace the graphics chip and fix the fault without fitting a new mainboard.

Repair process: Your old graphics chip is desoldered with the help of the infrared soldering station. The mainboard / logic board is cleaned of remaining flux and solder. Flux (ERSA No-Clean) is applied and a new graphics chip is prepared for soldering. The graphics chip is soldered in.

Cleaning the cooling system. Dust is the most common cause of overheating in IT equipment. The notebook usually becomes slow, louder or crashes. In many cases, permanent overheating from a dirty cooling system leads to mainboard failure. If the cooling system is cleaned in good time, you extend the life of your notebook.

Computer and network installation. If you are looking for a new computer network for your small business, you have come to the right place. We advise you competently, work out a suitable solution with you, integrate the system and provide comprehensive support after the project is completed.

We digitise your video tapes onto DVD. Analogue video material such as VHS or Video 8 loses quality over time. To preserve these films permanently, we can digitise them and save them to DVD or CD. They can then be played on ordinary DVD players or on a PC. The films can also be re-edited on the PC, given new sound or have effects added.
