Honestly, Dell makes some decent workhorses, but they have their quirks. The main problems we see are swollen batteries on the XPS 13s – a classic – and broken DC power jacks on the Inspiron range where the plastic mounts just give up. Last week, we sorted a puffy XPS 13 9360 battery (£89) and properly re-secured an Inspiron 15 5000 DC jack (£79), both done the same day. We'll have a quick look for free; a deep dive onto the motherboard is £30, which we knock off the bill if you go ahead. All our hardware fixes get a 12-month warranty. We cover Woolwich, Thamesmead, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, and Charlton. Find our workshop at 123 Plumstead High Street, SE18 1SB. Just walk in, Mon–Sat, 9 am–6 pm.
