F.A.Q. about Gaming Laptop Repair
Over the years, we have faced and successfully solved every type of gaming laptop issue.
Here is just a short list of the most common problems we deal with every day:
Laptop won’t turn on
Most often the problem is related to the power supply or motherboard.
Professional diagnostics is required, and our specialists in Lisbon are ready to help.
Black screen
If the laptop shows lights but the screen stays black, this usually means the board didn’t start or the screen backlight is missing.
We will diagnose the root cause and repair the motherboard.
Laptop overheating
Overheating leads to FPS drops and in some cases permanent hardware damage.
We perform thorough cleaning, use only high-quality thermal interfaces, and stress-test the laptop to ensure reliable operation.
FPS drops in games
This usually comes from overheating, unstable power, or GPU problems.
We test performance and restore stable gaming operation.
Keyboard not working
Most often caused by liquid damage or a damaged ribbon cable. In rare cases the keyboard controller fails.
We replace keyboards (even if built into top-cases) and repair embedded controllers.
Dead pixels on screen
Dead pixels are defects in the display matrix that are rarely repairable.
We provide original screen replacements with identical or even better specifications.
Laptop not charging
The issue may be in the charger, power jack, motherboard, or a worn-out battery.
We run full diagnostics and restore proper charging.
Some keys not working
Usually caused by liquid spill that breaks one of the keyboard lines. In this case the whole keyboard needs replacement.
We do this quickly if the part is in stock.
Error Code 43 on GPU
A common Windows error linked to drivers or GPU hardware faults (chip, VRAM, or power circuits).
We repair or replace defective GPU components.
GPU not detected
If the graphics card disappears from Device Manager, it usually indicates GPU or power issues.
We carry out diagnostics and restore discrete graphics.
Liquid damage
Spilled water or coffee is extremely dangerous. It causes corrosion and short circuits.
Disconnect the power immediately and bring the laptop to us for full board cleaning and repair.
Laptop freezing
Freezes are often related to CPU/GPU overheating, faulty SSD, or RAM.
We test all components to identify and fix the cause.
Laptop keeps rebooting
Usually caused by CPU or GPU faults, sometimes by RAM or damaged power circuits.
We perform complex repairs including CPU replacement if needed.
Laptop not working on battery
If it works only on AC, the problem may be with the charge controller or the battery itself.
We replace original batteries or repair the charging circuits.
Loud fan noise
Loud fans and heat indicate clogged cooling or worn-out coolers.
We clean the system, replace fans if necessary, and renew thermal paste.
