Laptop Computer Data Recovery and Backup at Warwick

For the last job today we are at a customers on Chesford Crescent at Warwick, We are here to repair the customers Laptop computer which is giving a hall.dll Error, To check this computer we booted to system recovery Console and attempted to read the hard drive this resulted in the error “unable to enumerate directory”, This meant the hardrive was unreadable so we had no choice but to attempt a recovery on the computer, this was successful and after being able to reboot in to windows we setup the customer with a backup system and left the machine backing up. The reasoning for this is that the data involved was critical to the customer and having had one issue it seemed quite likely another may occur.

Update as it happens 2 days later the repaired machine died and the backup of the laptop computer saved the customer from having to repay for data recovery, the only thing to note here is if your using a hard drive to backup to then you need to remember it is also a mechanical device and it is worth retiring the back up drives every 2 years to avoid failure.

Desktop Computer running slow at Warwick

This morning we are with a customer in Warwick to repair their computer system, after cleaning it up and checking its decided that the memory on the machine needs upgrading to GB to make it work well with the software being used, Typically Windows XP uses no more than 512MB unless its installed with Photoshop, Windows Vista and 7 Require 2GB just to run efficiently any thing above 4GB is good but as always more is better (The 32bit Versions are limit to a max of 3.5GB RAM).

Laptop Powering off Cubbington

We are with a customer at The Grange in Cubbington, The Problem here is a laptop that is going off a few seconds after powering on.

Update we tested the power supply unit and the battery and they came up as working fine, It was determined that the power supply side of the main board was   the fault, and cost wise was going to be to expensive to repair, So the customer has ordered a new Laptop and we will recover the data from this one then.
