Common Dell Problems We Fix
Real problems real customers bring to us — and what's actually causing them.
Dell XPS won't turn on
Press the power button — nothing. No lights, no fan, no POST. Common on XPS 13 and XPS 15, often caused by a failed MOSFET on the motherboard or a short on the 3.3V rail. We repair at component level.
Dell laptop screen flickering
Screen flickers, goes black, or shows horizontal lines. Very common on XPS models with the InfinityEdge display — often caused by a failing eDP cable or a loose display connector. We replace cables and screens.
Dell laptop overheating
Dell XPS and Inspiron models run hot — especially the 15" and 17" variants. Thermal paste dries out, fans get clogged, and the laptop throttles or shuts down. We clean, repaste, and test under load.
Dell laptop keyboard issues
Keys repeating, not registering, or stuck. XPS models with the carbon-fibre palm rest need the entire deck replaced. Inspiron keyboards are more straightforward. We handle both.
Dell laptop battery swelling
XPS and Inspiron batteries can swell — pushing up the trackpad or even the keyboard. Stop using it immediately and bring it in. We replace swollen batteries and repair any trackpad damage.
Dell Latitude power issues
Latitude laptops used in offices are prone to charging port failures and power circuit damage. We replace DC jacks and repair charging circuits on all Latitude models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair all Dell models?
Yes. We repair Dell Inspiron, XPS, Latitude, Precision, Vostro, and G Series models — laptops and desktops. If it's made by Dell, we can fix it.
My Dell XPS won't turn on — is it the motherboard?
Probably, but it's usually a single component — not the whole board. XPS models commonly fail on the 3.3V or 5V power rails. We find and replace the specific failed part for a fraction of a board replacement cost.
Can you replace the screen on a Dell XPS 13?
Yes. XPS 13 screens are one of our most common repairs. We replace the 4K InfinityEdge and FHD panels — and we know how to handle the fragile display assembly properly.
How much does a Dell keyboard replacement cost?
It depends on the model. Inspiron keyboards are straightforward — £80–120 fitted. XPS carbon-fibre deck replacements are more involved. We'll give you an exact quote before we start.
My Dell laptop is running slow — can you help?
Almost always. Most slow Dell laptops just need an SSD upgrade and more RAM. We clone your existing drive to a fast SSD — the speed improvement is dramatic. Often same-day service.
Do you offer a warranty on Dell repairs?
All repairs come with a 6-month labour warranty and 12-month manufacturer warranty on new parts. If the same fault comes back, we fix it at no extra cost.
Why Choose Our Dell Repair?
Dell laptops are built tough — but they're not immune to faults. XPS models are notorious for coil whine, screen flicker, and motherboard failures. Latitude laptops get hammered in offices. Inspiron hinges crack and batteries swell. We've seen every common Dell fault hundreds of times.
Our technicians do component-level motherboard repair that most shops can't — finding and replacing the single failed component rather than quoting you for a full board swap. That often means the difference between a £150 repair and a £500+ replacement. Student and NHS discount available on all Dell repairs.
