Generation 7

Generation 7 introduced the XBOX 360 from Microsoft, Sony Playstation 3 and the very succesful DS range of hand held consoles from Nintendo and the phenominally succesful Nintendo WII. The Nintendo WII introduced true motion control and left Microsoft and Sony playing catch up and prompted the release of the Microsoft Kinect and Sony motion controllers for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 respectively. As significant hardware advancement had been achieved by generation 7 it also introduced several problems due to the way the cpu and graphics processors were soldered to the circuit board. High failure rates of both xbox 360's (red ring of death) and Playstation 3's were encountered( Yellow light of death). the problem was that the chips got that hot that they melted the solder underneath and seperated from the mainboard neccesiating repair. There are a number of fixes for these issues from the very dubious and potentially damaging practises of wrapping the consoles in a towel to force the chips to resolder to the board to the professional and only real solution to the issue or relowing or re-balling the cpu and gpu chips using specialist equipment. We have recently invested in re-balling and re-flowing stations to offer a repair service for these issues see console repair.

	Chorley's leading computer shop for Business and home computer repair. Service and Repair of PC's and Apple Mac . When we were looking for premises for 1 Stop Tech shop we had a number of considerations. We wanted to be located in a strategic area at the centre of the motorway network that allowed PJR Micro Ltd to service our business and domestic customers easily and cost effectively. We therefore chose Chorley as this location. As we have continued expanding we quickly realised that our Chorley shop was to small for our purposes. We therefore started looking for new larger premises. There was nothing suitable within the immediate area so we expanded our search further afield, and located a building in Whelley, Wigan which was ideally suited for our purposes which we moved to in 2009. As our business is now going more and more data based we need a premises with fast backbone connection and as the fastest speeds we can obtain at Wigan is 3mb we have amalgamated all our business under one roof at our business service center at Coppull Where we have a 15mb and a 11mb backbone connection. Our Business customers range in areas from Liverpool to Wilmslow and Kendal to York and we have domestic customers all over Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Our new computer shop and premises have extensive offroad parking so short distance to carry sickly pc's.
