REPAIR NOTEBOOKS YOURSELF WITH A SCREWDRIVER AND SOME PATIENCE

When it’s time to replace a screen or a noisy fan, or add more memory or hard drive space, don’t automatically race to the professionals with your laptop. With the proper instructions, it’s possible to do a lot of this kind of work yourself. Websites like www.insidemylaptop.com or www.ifixit.com provide step-by-step descriptions with photos that can help anyone figure out their computer. The sites also include notes on special projects, like how to turn an old notebook display into a digital picture frame.

5 Reasons Why you should do it yourself..?

1. COST:  Save some cash! Repairing your laptop yourself is far less expensive versus taking it to a repair shop or buying a new laptop. 

2. EFFICIENT: It is really easy to repair your laptop – Especially with online available step-by-step guides and videos

3. TIME: Your time is worth money, without a functioning laptop you’re probably losing that valuable time due to inconvenience. Sending your laptop for repairs can take days, even weeks! You’ll have the old part out and the new part installed in under 20 minutes. 

4. STREET CRED: It is really impressive. All of your friends will be in awe of your computer repair mastery. (Until they realize they can do it, too!) 

5. TRUST: You don’t want an unreliable repair man tinkering around your laptop. We've heard a lot of horror stories of customers taking their laptops in just to have the part repaired and getting their laptops back completely wiped of everything. These are just a few reasons why you should replace your broken, cracked or damaged laptop part yourself!
