How an In-Lab Repair Works, Step by Step

The computer arrives at TN Solutions' lab in Melzo (near Milan), either dropped off in person or shipped by courier. The first step is always a diagnosis that isolates the real cause of the problem — a failing drive and a malware infection can show the same symptoms, but the fix is the opposite. Only after the diagnosis do we give a quote: the client decides whether to proceed before any component is touched. If the issue is a hardware fault covered by parts we have on hand, the repair is usually finished within the promised 24 hours; if a non-standard part is needed, the timeline is communicated upfront, not after work has already started.

What About My Data?

It's the question we get asked most before someone leaves a computer for repair. Whenever a repair involves working on the drive (reformatting, replacement, OS restore), the first step is always copying the recoverable data, not the operation that erases it. If the drive is already damaged enough to make reading difficult, the case moves to our data recovery service instead of being treated as a standard repair.

Warning Signs Worth Acting On Before the Fault Gets Worse

Some symptoms show up days or weeks before a serious failure, and catching them in time is often the difference between a quick fix and lost data. A mechanical drive that starts making repeated clicking noises (the so-called "click of death") should be powered off and brought in as soon as possible, rather than kept running in an attempt to save more files — every additional power-on lowers the odds of a clean recovery. Sudden slowdowns paired with files or folders that won't open, or spontaneous restarts during routine tasks, are more often the sign of a failing drive than a software problem. A computer that overheats, shuts itself down under load, or has its fans constantly running at full speed is almost always a sign of accumulated dust or dried-out thermal paste — a preventive cleaning costs far less than a motherboard damaged by heat.

Repair or Replace? A Practical Criterion

Not every fault justifies a repair. On an already older computer (roughly beyond 5–6 years), when the repair cost approaches that of an equivalent new device, or when the fault involves a soldered, non-replaceable component (common on many Apple laptops and ultra-thin models), replacement is usually the better call. On the other hand, an isolated fault on a recent computer — a power supply, a fan, RAM, even a motherboard on a desktop — almost always justifies repair, since the cost of the single component remains a fraction of the machine's value. That's exactly what the initial in-lab diagnosis is for: giving you that comparison in concrete terms before you decide.

Common Mistakes Before Bringing a Computer in for Repair

The first instinct when a computer starts acting up is often the wrong one. Repeatedly powering a drive that's making unusual noises on and off, hoping it will "sort itself out," is the fastest way to turn a recoverable problem into permanent data loss. Similarly, installing a second antivirus on top of one already running, to "be safer," often creates conflicts that slow the system down further instead of fixing the original issue. And putting off replacing a swelling laptop battery is never a good idea: a damaged lithium-ion battery is a fire risk, not just a runtime problem, and should be replaced as soon as the swelling is visible or the case starts to bulge, rather than waiting for the problem to get worse and become harder, slower, and more expensive to fix later on.
