Terms of use

By using Hardware Repair Guides (https://www.hardwarerepairguides.com), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Repairs are at your own risk

The guides on this site are general information based on my own repair experience. Every computer is different, and opening or repairing a device can damage it, void its warranty, or cause injury, especially with batteries, power supplies, and anything plugged into the wall. Always unplug the device, remove the battery when you can, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you're not comfortable doing a repair, take it to a qualified technician. I'm not responsible for any damage, data loss, injury, or other loss that comes from following, or trying to follow, anything on this site.

Back up your data

Some steps, like replacing a drive, resetting Windows, or changing BIOS settings, can erase data. Back up anything important before you start.

No guarantees

I try to keep every guide accurate and up to date, but I can't guarantee that any guide is complete, correct, or right for your exact device. The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind.

Links to other sites

Guides may link to other websites, such as manufacturer support pages. I don't control those sites and I'm not responsible for their content or policies.
