Computer hardware servicing refers to doing repairs and maintenance on the physical components of a computer and its peripherals, including fans, hard drives, keyboards and printers. It differs from software-related maintenance, which deals with the programs running on a computer, including eliminating malware, installing new software and updating programs for users, though some people are skilled at both.
GLOBAL COMPUTER HARDWARE SHORTAGE
Valued Customer
Please be aware that any issues revolving around computer hardware will be dependent on the availability of parts. Due to a Global shortage, hardware parts ranging from Power Supplies, Mother Boards, Graphic Cards, Processors, RAM and more have become very hard to come by. This is due to the below:
1.Corona Virus> borders, business, manufacturing closed/massive reduced
2.Scalpers> using bots to buy out hardware and sell at ridiculous margins
3.Miners> buying stock for crypto mining
4.Surge in Purchase> due to covid, people have had to stay and work from home requiring them to buy hardware that has overwhelmed the market
This will in turn affects if we are able to proceed with a repair and how quick we are able to fix hardware issues. Please bear this in mind as this is beyond our control. Feel free to visit the below links for an in-depth explanation.

Ideally, a computer will go many years without needing physical maintenance, but that’s not always the case. Moving components like hard drives, printers and cooling fans can break down over time, like any mechanical parts, and when they do, they’ll need to be repaired or replaced. Batteries on laptops and tablets don’t last forever and need to be replaced over time when they cease to hold a charge.
