Brand new DELL I7

Customer brought this brand new baby in for a broken power jack...it only took me 5 minutes to find out the issue...spending a little time and getting your hands dirty from time to time  does wonders plus it saves u money..take a look
He was just a little aggresive with the power supply and.broke the tip off and the broken piece got stick inside...got my tweezer, pull the piece out, plugged it in and voila!!

Acer aspire

Customer brought in his laptop not working, dead, finito..he claimed that it just stopped working out the blues...of course I rarely expect customers' words to be true, so I went in n started my usual visual physical inspection..everything was in order so I pulled out the tool and went in deeper, took this thing apart and guess what I found out!!! SOMEONE HAD WORKED ON THIS BEFORE.. guess how I found out...take a look at the pictures...(sigh) amateur tech with a screwdriver..watch out!!
Put everything back together the RIGHT way and guess what.. it came back to life..duh!

HP TX1000... No video.

Everybody knows about the dreaded nvidia chip. Fix that using reflow machine, but it almost cause a major issue, as the plastic tape started shrinking during reflow process taking some chips off the board.
What's unbelievable is IT STILL WORKS!! But no video on external monitor because the chips were part of the VGA circuitry.

Dell D610... Dead. Eaaaasy fix!

Sometimes I'm just lucky and run into these easy-to-fix units.
Customer brought it in dead, no lights anywhere, with or without charger.
A quick inspections solved the issue, which was missing screws in the power panel, so it wasn't making any contact with motherboard. 2 hr job turned out to be 5 min job.

iPad screen replacement..

Ahhhh, at last, my first iPad screen job, I won't even lie, I was pretty excited when I got this baby. Took my time.. Beautifully done, edges look like nothing happened, I've seen pretty sloppy jobs for quick bucks. I always leave the protecting plastic, so the customer knows its not USED, they also look pretty happy peeling it off.

Tried many things but what made it work was a little heat to
Bios chip. Don't fry it, just 'til u see solder glistening.
I hope I helped u save money.
