NoteFix: Cause of Many Laptop Repairs is Software, not Hardware

Web-based computer repair service provides information on avoiding software problems and protecting notebook computers

Bedford, MA (PRWEB) February 15, 2005

NoteFix (http://www.notefix.com), a division of Pre-Owned Electronics and a national leader in laptop repair, has repaired over 20,000 laptops, and has found that 1 of 4 supposed hardware problems is actually a problem caused by software.

It is often forgotten that most of the hardware is controlled either by the operating system or its drivers. Therefore, many perceived hardware problems are actually software in nature and require a system restore. All of this makes it even more important to regularly keep a data backup.

Software problems can be caused by installing excessive applications, not having updated antivirus software, not periodically running programs to defragment the hard drive, or not removing temp files. Problems also come from spyware, adware and other applications unknowingly downloaded onto a laptop from the Internet.

Should a user determine that their problems are indeed related to hardware, NoteFix offers an innovative, Internet-based high-speed laptop computer repair service. The company's flat-rate pricing model ensures most repairs will be completed for less than $350, with a turnaround time of 48 hours on nearly all notebook computers.
