Wan Chai Graphics Card Repair
Wan Chai has no branch. Repairs take place at Room 1209, Dali Plaza, Shek Mun, Sha Tin. Wan Chai and Causeway Bay have heavy foot traffic; SF Express mail-in repair usually saves more time than crossing the harbour.
Wan Chai has no branch. The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is at Exhibition Centre Station; the East Rail to Tai Wai, then change to the Tuen Ma line, takes about 35 minutes. Wan Chai Computer Centre and Hennessy Road are at Wan Chai Station — go to Admiralty or Exhibition Centre first. Hysan Place, Times Square, Sogo and Lee Gardens are in Causeway Bay. Happy Valley and Tai Hang have no MTR — go to Causeway Bay first.
Residential and studio machines in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai often run for long periods; fan dust build-up and hardened thermal paste are both common. Crowds are heavy at night, so carrying a card on the MTR is inconvenient — SF Express to Shek Mun is what most customers do. These shopping centres and computer centres are not shops.
Room 1209, Dali Plaza, Shek Mun, Sha Tin
About a 2-minute walk from Shek Mun Station on the Tuen Ma line
Monday to Sunday 11:00–20:00
How to Get to Shek Mun
Exhibition Centre: take the East Rail to Tai Wai, change to the Tuen Ma line; or from Causeway Bay go to Admiralty, then change, to Shek Mun in about 35 minutes. Happy Valley: go to Causeway Bay first.
Wan Chai Common Card Problems
Studio cards left running: in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, fan bearings keep running even after they start making noise, and then temperatures go out of control as well. Shut down first.
Problems after buying a card at Wan Chai Computer Centre: the computer centre can handle transactions; repairs are not on Hennessy Road. Send or bring the card to Shek Mun.
Overheating in small machines around Hysan and Times Square: little cooling space. Throttling does not necessarily mean a dead core — a quote is given after diagnosis.
Do not carry a card through crowded Causeway Bay at night: SF Express to Room 1209, Dali Plaza, Shek Mun, Sha Tin is enough.

Can screen artifacts, black screen, overheating and throttling be repaired?
Diagnosis first. Overheating is mostly dust build-up, hardened thermal paste or failed thermal pads; screen artifacts and black screens on boot need the VRAM and core cold-solder joints checked.

Stop using it immediately; do not just swap the cable and keep plugging it in. Minor cases need only a connector replacement; severe cases involve a shorted power phase or even damage to the core.
