Google Review · Kepong BranchMy laptop model is Asus GA401I, was unable to switched on. Found Dotronix from google review actually, lot of people were satisfied with the service so I immediately reached out to ask about my laptop. Customer service is really good, Mr Ash keep me updated frequently. Highly recommend this place if anyone looking to repair their laptop. The price is very affordable too since my laptop have issue with motherboard (cheap compared to other repair shops that I visited). Plus point, they provided delivery service since I couldnt come to pick up. Thank you so much Mr Ash :)
Google Review · Kepong BranchHp probook 440 g Problem : laptop cant be on, problem with power source. Sent to hp service centre, they give quotation for rm3800, which is huge amount. Then found dotronix by google search. And they were really helpful and helped to solved the problem within few days and for a fraction of the cost from the hp center. Additionally gave 3 months warranty for the repair as well. Not to mention they give me a free service for cooling system and free thermal paste

Google Review · Kepong BranchWhat's going on
A failing PSU rarely announces itself clearly. It can cause the machine to not turn on at all, shut down randomly under load, or make other components behave erratically as voltage delivery becomes unstable — symptoms that get mistaken for a motherboard or CPU fault more often than they should. We test PSU output under load before replacing any other, more expensive component.
Common signs to look out for
- Computer won't turn on despite other components appearing fine
- Random shutdowns under load, especially during gaming
- A burning smell or clicking sound from the PSU
- Unexpected restarts during normal use
- PC turns on then immediately powers off
What usually causes it
- Capacitor degradation with age
- Power surges without adequate surge protection
- A PSU underpowered for the components installed
- Dust buildup causing internal overheating and shutdown
How we diagnose this
PSU output test under load
We test actual voltage delivery under load, not just whether the unit powers on.
Visual capacitor inspection
We check for bulging or leaking capacitors, a clear sign of PSU failure.
Swap test
A known-good PSU is swapped in to confirm the fault before ordering a replacement.
Wattage & compatibility check
If replacing, we confirm the new unit is correctly rated for your current components.
