3. If you’ve got a laptop that looks like it may
be on its last legs, all hope is not lost.
Unless you’ve got a laptop that running
Windows 95 or Windows 8 (didn’t mean
that), then you have strong chance of
giving it a new lease of life, like Johnny 5
did in Short Circuit when he nearly died at
the end! All you need is a little money and
advice, which the latter we can help you
with.

4. Please take a look at the following reasons
to help you make your mind up on whether
you should buy new or repair.

5. “Arrrgh! My laptop is so slow” /
“Suffers from bad
performance…” / “No more
space”

6.  If you’ve found yourself saying one or more of those,
breathe….there are options available.
 Depending on the age of your laptop, you can upgrade
your hard drive, RAM or generally a clean-up of old
software, temporary files etc. If you find that you cannot
play certain games or run programs how they’re shown
on adverts, then things get a little bit more complicated.
With laptops, most have integrated graphics and now
days are incorporated within the processor, meaning it’s
permanently fixed to the laptop, it’ll be worthwhile and far
more cost effective to buy a new one. (We’re also a
computer supplier and have a huge range of laptops at
www.modxpc.com)

7.  Here at Modxpc Repairs, we carry out all
types of upgrades and repairs ranging from
upgrading your RAM, Increasing hard drive
size and/or swapping you into a solid state

most cost effective way forward is to help you

8. “My laptop don’t seem to
charge or the battery runs out
much quicker than it used to”

9. Like any battery in a car or mobile, over
time it will inevitably drop in terms of
capacity thus you noticing a change in its
portable life, one DIY would be to leave the
laptop plugged in the charger all the time,
but that’s a pointless though!

10. The battery is one of the easiest parts to
change yourself, if you match up the exact
model you may notice you’re able to get a
new battery with a higher capacity! A word
to the wise, cutting back on costs and
purchasing a very cheap 3rd party
compatible battery in comparison to
leading brands can lead to you having to
replace it again much sooner than you
would have first hoped.

11. Our laptop repair technicians in Essex are
on hand to help you choose the right
model for your laptop and can replace for a
very small fixed charge, supply and fit.

12. “I’ve dropped my laptop, now
the screen has smashed”

13. If your laptop screen has been smashed
for whatever reason, all is not lost. Here at
Modxpc Repairs we’ve had customers in a
state of panic because they believed all of
their data has been lost or that they have
to fork out a fortune for a new laptop!
Thankfully that’s not the case, our laptop
repair technicians can order a new one
and replace.

14.  Sometimes you’ll find that dropping the laptop
causes other damage such as broken hinges,
broken plastic and covers, this is almost as
disturbing to see as someone dropping an
iPhone 7 when it’s first released and
smashing the screen. We’re experts at all
types of laptop repairs and will simply
disassemble your laptop and fit all new parts
giving you a brand new looking laptop. If this
was to ever happen to you, you may as well
sneak some cheeky upgrades in there at the
same time.

15.  Ok, so we have covered some of the most common reasons
to why people would question buying a new laptop or
repairing, you may not have known that certain types of
repairs or upgrades are available and we hope that you will
choose what is best for you based on that.
 As technology is changing rapidly, we would say if you’re
interested in upgrading do it as soon as you can, before you
know it your yet again behind on performance and have
maximised your laptops upgrade capabilities.
 We’re a friendly bunch and would love to help you where we
can, from advice and booking you in for a repair / upgrade!
