As of 2015 many laptop motherboards need to be replaced rather than repaired. There are exceptions.
Motherboards are also known as the system board, main board, or logic board.
We repair/replace motherboards for laptop and notebook computers which are shipped to us or dropped off from Raleigh area residents at our location in Cary, NC.
Motherboards we repair
If you have a Macbook with spill damage which needs a $900+ motherboard we may be able to repair it or have a partner repair it for half that. This type of repair takes a couple of weeks.
If you ave a bad power jack, USB port, or other port which has been damaged, we can repair that in house with our soldering equipment.
Motherboards we replace
- In warranty systems (there are exceptions)
- Out of warranty laptops
- Aple Macbook, Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Inspiron / Latitude / etc, and many others we can get our hands on.
- Panasonic toughbook
- Fujitsu
We use new boards whenever possible. Sometimes used are available.
Motherboards we do not replace
Not all motherboards are worth replacing. We do not replace:
- Problematic boards (if you have a system prone to premature failure, overheating, manufacturer defects, etc, we will inform you that we will not fix it)
- Acer motherboards
- ASUS motherboards (usually impossible to get)
- HP/Compaq – consumer class models are usually not worth the $
- Toshiba – these are 50/50. Cheap Satellite consumer class are often disposable
When it comes to system boards, each case is unique. Feel free to contact us about your laptop issues today.
