Windows, BitLocker and software
Boot loops, blue screens and failed updates aren't always hardware faults. We repair or reinstall Windows on the Dell Vostro 1088, keep your files safe, and help with BitLocker recovery keys so encrypted drives stay accessible.
Overheating and fan noise
A Dell Vostro 1088 that runs hot, throttles or shuts down under load usually needs a deep clean, new thermal paste and, sometimes, a replacement fan. It's a quick job that restores performance and protects the motherboard.
Won't turn on: board-level repair
No lights, no fans, nothing: on the Dell Vostro 1088, this is often a single failed component on the motherboard. We diagnose power faults at component level and repair the board rather than replacing it, which is usually much cheaper.
