PC Hardware Repairs in Brighton?

[Gilliver's Travels]

My primary laptop's power connection has been dodgy for months, and is now threatening to give up the ghost. Standard fault: power light glows intermittently, but will go off if the cable gets moved . Rotating the plug usually fixes it for a while, but looks like the internal connection to the motherboard is faulty.


Could be a DIY job, but I'd much rather take it to a reliable local hardware repairer. Your recommendations, please?

There's a PC repair place on Blatchington Road in Hove up towards the Sackville Road end on the opposite side of the road to the Co-op which I've used before when I've needed any laptop repairs. Pretty good turnaround time as a rule.

Cheers for that suggestion.
Any others people have used, and would trust ?

Carden Computers, Carden Avenue

Used a few times and never disappoints.

Yep, they've been very fair with me ..... and when they've fixed something, it's worked.

I've used the Laptop Hut in English Close ( opposite the Halfords Service Centre ) before and they were excellent. They even do free pick up and drop back if you are in a certain area.

That one along Shoreham High Street, near the doggy charity shop. Always honest and helpful I've found.

And another. When they found my laptop was beyond repair, they refused to charge me.

Robert Harding is very good

Thanks everyone. NSC at its best!

True, he's good. And we've used them before. But they declare themselves (see ad above) as solely Apple.

Adur Computers, Gary Gwynne-Smith, Shoreham. I have used him for a number of things in the past, very reliable

I think there's some confusion here.

The place I was referring to wasn't Robert Harding. It is called Southern Technology. They have a flat rate of £39 for repairs, but like Carden Computers, they don't charge if they can't fix the problem.

When I had a problem with my previous laptop (a Packard Bell), I went to Carden first, but they couldn't fix the problem as they said they couldn't get the relevant part that was needed. However, I then went to Southern and they got it all fixed within 48 hours. Great service.

Arent Southern Technology listed as official Apple repair agents

No mention there of being Apple specialists. Like I say, the laptop they repaired for me was a Packard Bell.
