The Dell Studio range (2008–2011) was a consumer laptop line with swappable coloured lids. At this age, failing hard drives, worn DC jacks and tired batteries are the usual faults.
Common Studio repairs
- DC jack repair
- Hard drive to SSD upgrade
- Battery
- Data recovery
Charging and USB-C ports
If the Dell Studio 1457 only charges at a certain angle, or not at all, the charging port or the power circuit behind it is usually the cause. We replace worn ports and test the charging circuit so the problem doesn't come back.
SSD, upgrades and data
Running out of space or slowing down? Where the Dell Studio 1457 allows it, we fit a larger SSD or more memory and clone your system across. If the drive has failed, our data recovery service tries to save your files before anything else.
Battery swelling and battery life
Lithium batteries wear out and can swell, lifting the touchpad or bending the base. If your Dell Studio 1457 has a bulging case or a touchpad that won't click, stop using it on charge and bring it in: we replace the battery and check nothing else was damaged.
