Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.

The Dynabook Portege X40L-M takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
