// WHAT WE FIX
Dell laptop faults we repair every week
Whatever’s gone wrong with your Dell Latitude, Inspiron, XPS or Precision laptop, there’s a good chance we’ve fixed it many times before. The Dell laptop repairs we carry out for Poole customers most weeks include:
- Cracked or dim screens — smashed panels, a black display, flickering or a dead backlight. A screen swap is fiddly on modern slim Dells, so this is one to leave to the techies rather than risk snapping the display cable.
- Worn-out batteries — won’t hold charge, swelling, or “plugged in, not charging”. More on Dell battery replacement.
- Charging & DC power ports — loose, wobbly or dead charging sockets that need re-soldering or replacing.
- Keyboards & trackpads — sticky, missing or unresponsive keys.
- Noisy fans & overheating — loud whirring, sudden shutdowns and thermal throttling from clogged fans or tired thermal paste; often cured by a proper clean-out and service.
- SSD upgrades & slow performance — swap a failing hard drive for a fast SSD; see laptop SSD upgrades.
- Won’t turn on / no-boot diagnosis — no lights, blinking caps-lock codes, blue screens or Windows that won’t load.
- Liquid damage — coffee, tea or water spills; we clean, assess and quote honestly.
- Data recovery — retrieving photos and documents from a failing or dead Dell.
Plenty of Windows and software faults never need to leave your desk at all — we can often sort those the same day over secure remote support instead of a workshop visit.
// 30 YEARS OF DELL
A genuinely independent Dell specialist — not a middleman
365 Techies is a family-run Dorset firm that has worked with Dell hardware since 1995. To be completely straight with you: we are an independent Dell specialist, not a Dell Authorised Service Provider. That independence is the point — it means we can give you an unbiased verdict, fix machines Dell would rather you replaced, and charge fair, transparent prices with no manufacturer mark-up.
Three decades on Latitude, OptiPlex, Inspiron and Precision machines means we know their common weak spots — the hinges that crack, the ports that wear, the models worth saving and the ones that aren’t. Poole customers deal with the same familiar faces from drop-off to collection, and we’re rated 4.9 on Google by local people.
Not sure your model is worth the outlay? Read are Dell Latitude laptops good? or our Latitude series explained guide before you commit to a repair — and if it turns out your machine isn’t a keeper, we’ll say so honestly.
// HOW IT WORKS
On-site, workshop or remote — and always no-fix-no-fee
We repair Dell laptops three ways, so Poole customers can pick whatever’s easiest:
- On-site — for quick fixes and set-ups, we come to you across Poole and the surrounding area.
- Free collection & return — screen, battery, port and internal repairs are done at our Bournemouth team (BH10 7LH), and we collect from Poole free of charge.
- Remotely — for Windows, email, software and set-up problems, remote support can often fix things the same day without your laptop leaving the house.
Every repair comes with our promises: no call-out fee, no-fix-no-fee (if we can’t fix it, you don’t pay for the labour), and a 12-month warranty on the work. In a real hurry? Ask about same-day Dell support — we offer same-day response and remote diagnosis where we can, though physical parts can take a little longer, so we’ll always be honest about timing. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm — call 01202 775566 or text 07520 615332 to book.
// HONEST ADVICE
Is your Dell worth repairing — or better replaced?
Sometimes the honest answer is that a repair isn’t the smart money, and we’ll always tell you before you spend a penny. As a rough guide, a repair is usually worth it when:
- The laptop is a business-grade Dell (Latitude or Precision) that’s only a few years old.
- The fault is a single, well-understood part — a screen, battery, port or SSD.
- The repair costs comfortably less than a good replacement.
When a machine is very old, has multiple faults, or the repair cost creeps towards the price of something far better, we’ll suggest a tested refurbished business-grade Dell from £510 instead. Each one gets a brand-new Samsung Pro SSD, a clean licensed copy of Windows, and our own 5-year guarantee on a 365 support plan — often a better bet than pouring money into a dying laptop. After a desktop rather than a laptop? See refurbished Dell desktops. Either way the diagnosis and advice are free and there’s no pressure — we’d rather keep you as a Poole customer for another 30 years.

// GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Do you repair Dell laptops in Poole?
Yes. 365 Techies is an independent Dell specialist based in Kinson, just a few minutes from Poole, and we repair Dell laptops at your home or business, in the van, or remotely right across Poole — from Parkstone and Broadstone to Hamworthy and Canford Heath. Call 01202 775566 to book.
How much does a Dell laptop repair cost?
It depends on the fault and the parts, but every job is quoted up front and backed by our no-fix-no-fee promise — if we can’t fix it, you don’t pay for the labour. There’s no call-out fee and no charge for the initial diagnosis.
Are you a Dell authorised repair centre?
No — and we’re upfront about that. We’re a genuinely independent Dell specialist with 30+ years’ experience, not a Dell Authorised Service Provider. That independence lets us give unbiased advice, fair prices, and repair machines Dell might simply replace.
Do you offer free collection for Dell laptop repairs in Poole?
Yes — we collect and return free of charge across Poole, covering BH12 to BH17 including Parkstone, Broadstone, Hamworthy and Canford Cliffs. For Windows and software issues we can often fix your Dell the same day over a secure remote session instead. Call 01202 775566 to arrange.
Can you fix a Dell laptop that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. No-boot faults range from a dead battery or charging port to a failed drive or board fault. We run a free diagnosis first, then quote before doing any work — and our blinking caps-lock guide can help you spot the cause beforehand.
Is my old Dell worth repairing or should I replace it?
We’ll tell you honestly. A single fault on a fairly recent business-grade Dell is usually worth fixing; a very old machine with several faults often isn’t. In that case we can supply a tested refurbished business Dell from £510 with a 5-year guarantee (with a support plan), collected or delivered anywhere in Poole.
