Q&A
Will my data be safe during the power fix? Yes. DC-In board and power socket repairs are structural hardware fixes. We do not touch your SSD or software, so all your documents and photos remain safe.
Is the fix permanent? Absolutely. By replacing the faulty port with new, original-spec hardware and ensuring high-integrity connections, we eliminate the structural weakness that caused the initial failure.
