Repairing older Dell laptops
Dell laptops are among the easiest to service: bottom panels come off with screws, batteries and SSDs are replaceable on nearly every model, and Dell publishes part numbers that make ordering exact. XPS screens are bonded and pricier; Inspiron screens are inexpensive and often stocked. DC jacks on older Inspirons wear and are on their own cable. Alienware and G series run hot and need thermal paste and fan service after a few years.
Models covered
Inspiron, XPS, Latitude, Vostro, Precision, Alienware and G series. If yours is not named here, bring it in anyway; if it has a circuit board, we work on it.
What usually fails at this age
Batteries first: anything more than two years old that will not hold a charge, shuts off early or has started to swell needs a new cell. Then hinges, ports and drives, all of which are quick, inexpensive repairs on older laptops. Screens for the common models are stocked; the rest are ordered.
Turnaround
Same day on stocked parts, 3 to 5 business days when ordered. We check parts availability and give you the price before you commit.
