Signs your Toshiba Tecra A8 needs this repair

  • Lines, stripes or coloured blocks on screen

  • Black screen, but the laptop sounds like it's running
  • The same fault on an external monitor, which rules out the screen
  • Freezes when gaming or playing video

Graphics chip repair on the Toshiba Tecra A8

The Toshiba Tecra A8 has either integrated graphics or a separate graphics chip, depending on the configuration. We confirm which graphics hardware your version has before quoting, because the repair differs.

What we do

We confirm the fault is the chip and not the screen or its cable. Then we remove the chip, clean the pads and refit it with new solder balls (reballing), or fit a new chip.

We also clean the cooling system and replace the thermal paste, because overheating is what caused the failure in the first place.

How long it takes. Graphics chip work takes longer than most repairs because we test under load afterwards. We give you a timescale with the quote.

Warranty

This Toshiba Tecra A8 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
