Frequently asked questions
Can you help if my laptop is very slow?
Yes. Potent can check for storage problems, low memory, Windows issues, background software, malware, overheating, and aging hardware to identify what is actually causing the slowdown.
Do you replace or upgrade laptop SSDs?
Potent can diagnose storage issues and help with compatible SSD upgrades when the laptop design and condition make the upgrade practical. Any part purchase and repair scope are confirmed before paid work begins.
Can you diagnose battery or charging problems?
Yes. Potent can troubleshoot whether a charging or battery symptom is more likely related to the battery, charger, Windows power behavior, or another hardware issue. Specialized board-level repair is not assumed and would be discussed separately if needed.
Can you move my files to a new laptop?
Yes. Potent can help transfer accessible customer files from an old laptop to a replacement system and can discuss backup options before the transfer starts.
Is a broken laptop always worth repairing?
No. Age, overall condition, performance needs, repair cost, and the price of a suitable replacement all matter. Potent can help compare the repair path with replacement before you spend money on parts.
Do you work on malware and pop-up problems?
Yes. Potent can investigate suspicious pop-ups, browser redirects, unwanted software, malware warnings, and related performance or security symptoms.
