Check this out, independent research by a company that provides warranty repair on laptops. It’s a failure rate of the major manufacturers in the industry, surprise surprise HP are the worst!
Laptop failure rates
The amount of HP’s I see with dodgy motherboard faults is increasing. I do like HP’s but after the amount I’ve seen in the past year I would stay away from purchasing an HP laptop. I do recommend Dell as they usually have good prices and if something should go wrong they are easily fixed.
To be fair Toshiba, Dell and Sony laptops we see the least of at Laptop Repair Birmingham. Of course these figures are not completely accurate as there are more Dell and HP laptops out in the wild compared to Leveno and Asus, also the figures are US based it seems. Computer shops here in the UK like PC World and Currys have their own brand, Packard Bell.
Hopefully this graph and the comments I’ve made make choosing a laptop an easier choice out there for someone reading this. As has been mentioned on this website, Laptop Repair Birmingham try to offer more than one solution, so it seems we recommend more than one laptop manufacturer.

Hi,
Son dropped open laptop downstairs. The Laptop still functions, but there has been major damage.
- The LCD screen is broken, but an external display (via Fn + F8 keys) works.
- There is no sound through laptop speakers or via the 3.5mm jack outlet. However, sounds works fine via USB audio.
- The hard drive appears to be completely fine. No issues were found using the disk management disk check tools.
- Some keys flew off the keyboard, but they have all snapped back securely into place and all appear to work fine.
- Wireless network and bluetooth are fine.
So how much would it costs to fix the screen and sound?
And how long would it take?
Thanks,
Richard
