Battery swelling and battery life
Lithium batteries wear out and can swell, lifting the touchpad or bending the base. If your Dell Vostro 3478 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.
Won't turn on: board-level repair
No lights, no fans, nothing: on the Dell Vostro 3478, 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.
Charging and USB-C ports
If the Dell Vostro 3478 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.
