Repairs we carry out on the Dell OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One

Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Dell OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Dell OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One, along with stand repair, no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
Known issues with the OptiPlex and Inspiron All-in-One range
- A black screen with the PC still running is often a backlight or panel fault and not a failed computer.
- All-in-one PCs use laptop-style parts behind the screen, so repairs involve removing the back cover or the display panel.
Data recovery from the Dell OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One
The SSD in the Dell OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.
