Power faults

Fixing TVs and laptops damaged by storm power surges

TV or laptop dead after a storm? A surge usually damages the power supply or a part on the motherboard, and most of the time it can be repaired.

Sudden blackouts and heavy rains often bring dangerous electrical spikes. If your laptop or TV will not turn on after a storm, a blown fuse, power supply or motherboard component is usually the cause.

Protect your electronics

Using a quality surge protector or voltage stabiliser helps stop spikes before they reach your gear. When heavy thunder starts, unplug your devices completely from the wall socket.
