About Eaton Bray

Eaton Bray is a village in Central Bedfordshire, close to the Buckinghamshire border and next to Edlesborough. St Mary's Church dates from the early 13th century. The scrolled ironwork on the south door is attributed to Thomas of Leighton, the smith who made the grille for the tomb of Queen Eleanor in Westminster Abbey.

The village was once known for plum orchards and carnation nurseries. Dunstable Downs and the chalk figure of the Whipsnade White Lion overlook the area.

What we do for customers in Eaton Bray

Liquid spills

Switch the laptop off, unplug the charger and leave the machine off. Tell us what was spilled and when. Sugary and salty liquids do more damage than water. The sooner the inside is cleaned, the better the chance of a repair.

Computer and laptop repairs

Drop and impact damage

A drop can crack the screen, bend the case and loosen the drive in one go. We check each part and give one quote for the whole repair. Back up your files first if the laptop still starts.

Laptop screen repairs

Routine maintenance

Dust in the fans and a full drive slow a computer down over the years. We clean the cooling system, check the drive and remove programs you no longer use.

Maintenance and upgrades

A common problem: a laptop has had liquid spilled on the keyboard

Switch off if safe to do so and disconnect the charger. Leave the laptop off. Tell us what was spilled and when. Avoid hairdryers, radiators and bags of rice, because heat and delay both make the damage worse.

Questions from Eaton Bray

Have a different question?
Ask us

My laptop works after a spill. Should I still have the machine checked?

Yes. Liquid left inside corrodes the board over days or weeks. A laptop working today can fail later, and early cleaning costs less than a new board.

Do you cover Edlesborough as well?

Yes. Edlesborough adjoins Eaton Bray across the county boundary, and we cover both villages.
