How to tell when your laptop needs repair

Some laptop faults begin with minor symptoms. The sooner you arrange diagnostics, the better the chance of avoiding a more complex and expensive repair.

Watch for these signs

• The laptop does not turn on or shuts down during use.
• The screen flickers or shows lines and unusual spots.
• The device becomes very hot or makes unusual noise.
• The battery drains quickly or has become swollen.

Do not take the device apart yourself unless you have the right experience. A service technician will identify the cause and recommend the best repair option.
