Common Problems
Common Laptop Problems We Fix
From cracked screens to dead batteries, most laptop faults are repairable — and usually cheaper than a new machine.
Screen Replacement
Cracked, flickering, or dead screens. We source quality replacement panels for all laptop brands — most screen repairs completed same day.
Screen damage check →Battery Replacement
A laptop that won't hold charge or only lasts 30–60 minutes needs a new battery. Replacements start from $150 including parts and fitting.
Check battery health →SSD Upgrade
The single fastest improvement for any laptop. Replacing a spinning hard drive with an SSD typically makes a laptop feel 3–5× faster. Includes data migration.
SSD upgrade check →Overheating Repair
Dust-clogged heatsinks, dried thermal paste, and failing fans cause shutdowns and permanent processor damage. We clean, re-paste, and test.
Overheating check →Keyboard & Hinge Repair
Broken keys, sticky keyboards, and snapped hinges are among the most common physical repairs. Hinge repairs prevent further cracking of the chassis or screen.
Charging Port Repair
Laptops that won't charge are often a faulty charging port, frayed cable, or failed charging circuit. We diagnose the exact cause before quoting.

Decision Guide
Should You Repair or Replace Your Laptop?
This is the most important question before spending money. Here's a clear framework.
✅ Repair is worth it when...
The laptop is under 6 years old · The repair cost is less than 50% of replacement value · The issue is isolated (battery, screen, or HDD) · Your data and preferences are set up the way you like them
Example: A 3-year-old laptop with a cracked screen. Screen replacement at $149–$189 vs. a new laptop at $800+. Repair wins easily.
❌ Consider replacing when...
The laptop is over 7 years old · Multiple components are failing at once · The repair cost exceeds 60% of replacement value · Windows 10 support ends and the device can't run Windows 11
Example: A 2016 laptop needing screen + battery + SSD. Total repair cost might exceed buying a good secondhand replacement.

Decision Guide
Is Your Laptop Worth Repairing?
Repair it if:
Single fault — screen, battery, keyboard, or charging port. Device is under 7 years old. Repair is under 50% of secondhand replacement value.
Replace it if:
Multiple concurrent failures. Laptop is over 8 years old. Manufacturer no longer provides OS security updates.
Upgrade instead:
An SSD upgrade + RAM boost can extend an ageing laptop's useful life by 3–4 years for a fraction of replacement cost. Check upgrade benefit →
