Recommend UK computer repair company please
I am looking to get my Mesh computer repaired.
It's past the warranty period.
I suspect overheating. Crashes occur which eventually lock out
windows, and the rescue disk cant find a hard drive, but it always
comes back after a period of shutdown. It is now worsening, non
intensive activity seems to make it crash.
There seems to be trouble with Mesh normal repairs service, who have
a page of complaints ending with links to Dell & HP.
Would appreciate a contact number/address for a reliable, competent
repair service. Especially one that provides a home visit.
Thanks.

You might need to mention whereabouts you are.

Thanks, I thought these firms were a nationwide operation.
I am in Merseyside.

You'll get the best service and value for money from an independant tech.
But it's vital to find someone who knows and cares what they're doing.
Word-of-mouth is the best guide. I'd suggest you ask a few friends if
they know anyone that they trust.

Open it up, check the fan is running on the CPU, give it a clean as over
time
it will gather dust. It might be the power supply ready to fail. They are
about
£20 for a 550watt which is more than enough for most people. You could
fix it yourself quite easily.
The computer should last a lot longer than 12months which is the usual
warranty period from new. You do have a legal claim against the company,
so contact them first for advice - then contact your local CAB if you're
unsure of the next step.

Yellow Pages or Google will provide many results, just phone them and ask.

If the OP was able to do this, why would he/she be asking for repair
services?
> It might be the power supply ready to fail.
Probably the least likely reason for this type of fault.

PSU's are for computers, not people.
Without knowing the machine specification, how on earth can you guess at a
rating? I have reasonably powerful machines running on 200watt supplies; a
full on gaming machine, with dual graphics cards, might need an 800watt
one.
It would be very inadvisable to fit a 20UKP PSU to a machine needing a
550watt one!

Perhaps you need to Google "mesh computer repairs" to get an idea of the
OP's dilemma...
