Identify the device
Note the make, model and the affected component if known. A full serial number or account password is not needed for an initial enquiry.
Describe the symptoms
Say what happens when you try to use it, when the fault began and whether there was damage, liquid exposure or earlier work. Separate what you observed from what you think caused it.
Explain the data situation
Say whether important files are backed up and whether you need transfer or backup work considered. Do not send private files as an example. Data work and repair work should be clearly scoped.
Agree the arrangements first
Ask about suitability, any diagnostic charge, parts, labour, testing and the equipment handover. Do not post or drop off a device before Leighton confirms the arrangements. A request is not a repair authorisation.
