MYTHS ABOUT REFURBISHED LAPTOPS AND REFURBISHED COMPUTERS BUSTED

People often confuse repaired/used with refurbished -In reality there lies a huge difference between the two.

In repaired models, a technician uses diagnostic tools to locate the faulty part and replace it with a good one. Thanks to the proliferation of the internet, there is no dearth of one-man online stores run by individuals who rarely have knowledge about computers. Often purchasing old models, replacing faulty parts with cheap imported spares and cases, then they sell it to gullible customers as second hand and high-performance PCs.

Since there is no warranty or receipt given, there is nothing the customer can do after finding that they have been taken for a ride.

At gigarefurb.co.uk we refurbish instead of repair. This involves

• Disassembling the PC
• Checking all its hardware for optimum performance using state of the art diagnostic tools and replacing faulty ones with original spares
• Testing connectors and cables
• USB, ethernet ports, line in and out ports
• SMPS (switch mode power supply)
• Formatting the hard disk drive
• Fixing any major bump marks on the cabinet
• Inspecting the base of the cabinet for stability
• Assembling the PC
• Installing OEM operating system
• Subjecting the PC to a burn in test: (we typically run the computer continuously for two days to ensure that it functions properly... any problems with the PCs parts surface during this test)

THE QUALITY OF OUR COMPUTERS

We purchase the majority of the PC's we sell from large corporations and institutions. These PC’s might have some blemishes such as dents on the cabinet or worn-out characters on the keyboard, but their users have maintained them properly even before the full overhaul by the expert technical team of Giga Refurb.

Due to the nature of these institutions and corporations work, they demand ever-increasing processing power and need to update their computers regularly. We scan classified ads on online portals and newspapers for their ads and purchase their used computers from them at rock bottom prices.

Since most of these PCs are in perfect working condition, we only need to clean them, replace faulty parts when required and quality test. The quality is so good that you often wouldn’t be able to differentiate between a brand-new PC and a refurbished one.

Since we stock both low end and high-performance number crunching desktops, you can rest assured that you will find one that meets your specifications. Our refurbished laptops and refurbished computers might be cheap, but they offer unmatched reliability and performance.

Grade 2 Refurbished. These are as good as `A' but with more signs of wear and tear on the case. However, there are no compromises on the components and functionality. This grade also includes a 12 months' RTB warranty.

MONITOR CONKED OUT?

Chances are that your computer is working fine but the TFT (thin film transistor... a variant of the liquid display monitor that makes use of active matrix addressing) monitor has broken down or has patches in certain parts of the display.

This can be a real issue if you use your computer for graphic designing. Trying to get a replacement can be a tedious and monotonous task. Thanks to the rapid advances in technology, more and more companies are nowadays only manufacturing LED (light emitting diode) display units.

Apart from these, we also offer wireless keyboards... useful if you plan to keep the keyboard a distance away from the computer or do not like wires running all over the place.

We stock a wide range of mice at different price ranges manufactured by reputable brands. You can opt for a low cost wired mouse or a costly wireless one.
