Why corrosion is worth catching early
Salt laden air gets into a laptop through the same vents that cool it. It settles on the board and slowly attacks solder joints and connector pins. The early symptoms are not dramatic, which is exactly the problem: a port that works only at a certain angle, a machine that wakes up sometimes, a fan that runs when nothing is happening.
At that stage cleaning the board and re-seating or replacing connectors usually fixes it for a modest amount. Once corrosion has eaten through a track, the repair becomes board level or the board becomes a replacement.
If you live near the coast and your laptop has started behaving oddly rather than failing cleanly, that is worth a free diagnosis before it becomes a quote you do not want.
Coverage across the southern districts
Walk ins come from Thoothukudi town, Tirunelveli, Kovilpatti, Sattur, Tiruchendur, Srivaikuntam, Kayalpattinam and Ettayapuram. Tenkasi and Nagercoil are a longer run but a regular one when a machine needs a proper bench.
Where travelling is difficult, we can arrange collection. A couriered machine gets exactly the same written quote as a walk in.
Warranty, and what it does not cover
If your Lenovo is in warranty, bring the invoice and we route the job through our authorised centre so the cover is unaffected. The authorised page sets out what that status means in practice.
Corrosion and liquid damage are usually not covered, because they are not manufacturing faults. We will tell you that before we start rather than after, and then quote the repair on its own merits.
