🔧 Need a New Motherboard? Here’s What You Should Know About Replacements
If your computer suddenly won’t turn on, is freezing randomly, or showing strange hardware errors — the issue may be deeper than a simple software bug. It could be a failing motherboard, which is one of the most critical (and complex) components in your device.
At Gary’s Computer Repair Service, we offer professional motherboard diagnosis and replacement for laptops and desktops — bringing dead systems back to life across Dublin.
💻 What Is a Motherboard (and Why It Matters)?
The motherboard is the central hub of your computer. It connects your CPU, RAM, storage, graphics, USB ports, and power supply. If it fails, your system may not boot — or function at all.
🔍 Signs You May Need a Motherboard Replacement
1️⃣ Laptop or PC Won’t Power On
No lights, no fan — even with a working charger or power supply? Your motherboard may be dead.
2️⃣ Random Restarts or Freezes
If your computer crashes with no warning or restarts during use, a failing motherboard is a common culprit.
3️⃣ USB or HDMI Ports Stop Working
Suddenly your keyboard or monitor isn’t detected? Damaged I/O circuits can indicate deeper board issues.
4️⃣ No Display (But Power Works)
Fans spin and lights flash, but no image on screen — often points to motherboard or GPU failure.
5️⃣ Burn Marks or Smell of Burning
Visible damage, swollen capacitors, or the smell of burnt electronics = time for a new board.
