Norm’s Computer Services charges highly competitive prices for laptop repair in Underwood. While it is possible to find cheaper prices, those offering significantly lower prices are less likely to be providing a professional computer repair service. A slow computer can be due to a number of reasons. Often the solution is simply to speed it up using software and/or hardware upgrades.
Hardware
The hardware of a computer can be damaged in many ways, and is normally quite easy to repair. The most common issue is a slow computer, which can often be resolved by upgrading to a faster hard drive or adding more RAM. However, the problem may be more serious, and a replacement motherboard or graphics card might be needed.
Desktop tower computers are generally the easiest to work on, as their constituent parts can be easily accessed. However, laptops are more complicated as their power supply circuitry and graphics are integrated into the system board. Norm’s can normally replace failed hard drives and add more RAM, but it might not be cost-effective to laptop repair in Underwood with a bad system board. Problems with a printer or scanner are also very common. Norm’s can troubleshoot these issues and get your printer working properly again quickly. He can even help set up new equipment for you, if you’re looking to buy a new scanner or printer.
Software
Norm’s Computer Services can troubleshoot software issues on both laptops and desktop computers. While the problems encountered on these devices can be different, many are the same. Both can have problems with their operating systems, internet connectivity, email handling and printing. If your desktop tower computer is starting to slow down it may be time for an upgrade. Hardware upgrades can work wonders and will usually leave your computer running better than it ever did before.
The same is true for laptops, but with the added benefit that many of the constituent parts can be replaced if necessary. For example, if your laptop has a failed hard drive it can often be replaced with a Solid State Drive (SSD). The same is true for many of the other components such as the power supply unit and graphics card. All-in-one desktop computers are not quite as easily disassembled as conventional towers, but it is normally possible to replace the power unit and the graphics card.
Networking
Computer viruses are a fact of life and can cause a wide range of problems including slow performance, loss of data and strange behaviour. Norm can remove these from your computer and restore it to normal functionality. He can also assist with email setup and troubleshooting if you are having issues with your computer’s ability to send and receive emails.
Desktop tower computers are usually the easiest to repair as they can be disassembled and each of the constituent parts – such as the hard drive/SSD, power supply circuitry and graphics card – can normally be replaced individually. Laptop repair in Sunnybank Hills, on the other hand, are more complex as many of the constituent parts, such as the motherboard, reside in a sealed case. I can often help with a 10 year old computer by replacing the ageing hard drive with a solid state drive (SSD). This can be a fairly cheap solution and may leave your laptop in a much better condition than it was before.

All-in-one desktop computers are normally more difficult to disassemble, but it’s usually possible to replace constituent parts like the hard drive/SSD, the power supply unit or the graphics card. Laptops, however, may not be as easily repaired if the system board has failed. We can upgrade your hardware or software to make your computer faster and more capable than it ever was before. Software upgrades typically provide improved functionality whilst hardware upgrades tend to focus on speed.
Conclusion
If your laptop or computer is running slowly it can be annoying and frustrating. Software issues can be resolved by reinstalling the operating system or installing hardware upgrades. Desktop tower computers are normally the most straightforward to repair as they can be readily disassembled and any of their constituent parts replaced if necessary. This can include the hard drive/SSD, the power supply unit (PSU), the graphics card or the RAM (memory).
