+1 for RapidPcs.  They did a good job on one work laptop, and put a 
lot of time into another one with no success (motherboard dead) 
without charging for it.  Paul Hogg is your man.  Only complaint: they 
are hard to get on the phone sometimes.  Might be easier to go down 
there if you are near. 


+1 These guys are great and put the repair centre at nearby PC World to 
shame.

Peter

It's an Inspiron 1525 bought in 2008.
Had a quote for about £40 including replacement screen frame.
Will await if anyone else replies as I thought someone on the list does 
repairs but can't remember who.

I now need to get it fixed locally if possible.
I live in Wimborne but am willing to travel a bit especially if it's a
quick fix.


Which Model Dell is it? My neighbour has a defunct Dell laptop with a
good screen, probably about 5 or 6 years old. I cannot remember the
model number. And cannot find the search for it in Firefox history.

Replacement screens might  only be about £30 on e-bay.

[Dorset] Dell Laptop repair (urgent if possible)

2011-09-07 Thread C A Wills

Does anyone know of a good repairer for my Dell laptop please.
The screen surround has cracked on the left hand side and it's difficult 
to closed the lid.

I now need to get it fixed locally if possible.
I live in Wimborne but am willing to travel a bit especially if it's a 
quick fix.
