Laptop repair in Alexandria, VA area
April 25, 2017 1:46 PM

My Dell laptop seems to have a bad video cable - any suggestions for a reputable repair shop? Prefer the Alexandria/Springfield, VA area if possible

Computer in question is a Dell Inspiron 5000 14" laptop. The monitor flickers intermittently if I move it (open/close the top). Totally usable but definitely annoying - I suspect either something's come unseated or the video cable is damaged. I'd repair it myself but I don't have the time or tools at the moment, not to mention I'm not sure where to get a replacement part. Would prefer somewhere local that doesn't require shipping the computer offsite (e.g. no GeekSquad).

The laptop's only three years old and otherwise pretty reliable (particularly since I upgraded to Windows 10), so I'd prefer to get the issue fixed instead of upgrading. Thanks!

MicroCenter in Fairfax is pretty great and they do in-store repair.

Yep, microcenter. They also do warranty repairs.
