How we fix your Dell Inspiron Mini 1011
We test the drive's health first. If it's failing, we copy your files off before it gets any worse, then fit the new drive.
Most customers choose an SSD. It makes an older Dell Inspiron Mini 1011 start and run noticeably faster, uses less power and has no moving parts to fail. We install your operating system and copy your files back.
How long it takes
Drive replacements are usually finished the same day or the next day. Recovering files from a badly failing drive can take longer.
Good to know: If your drive is clicking, switch the laptop off. Every restart can make recovering your files harder.
