How much does laptop screen replacement cost in Melbourne?

Screen replacement for most 15-inch laptops costs $149–$249. MacBook screens are higher — typically $249–$349. We source quality replacement panels and complete most screen repairs on the same day.

Is it worth repairing a 5-year-old laptop?

Usually yes, if the repair is isolated (e.g. battery or screen only) and costs less than 50% of replacement value. A 5-year-old laptop with an SSD upgrade and battery replacement can perform like a new machine. Use our repair or replace calculator for a personalised assessment.

Can you fix a laptop that won't turn on?

Yes. A laptop that won't power on may have a failed battery, faulty power circuit, or corrupted OS. We diagnose the exact cause before quoting. In many cases this is a simple and affordable fix.

Do you repair all laptop brands?

Yes — we repair Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Samsung, and more. MacBook repairs are available — see our MacBook repairs page for Apple-specific pricing.

Can you upgrade RAM in my laptop?

It depends on the model. Many modern laptops have soldered RAM that cannot be upgraded. We check compatibility before recommending. An SSD upgrade often delivers more performance improvement than RAM in an older laptop.

What is the no fix no fee guarantee?

If we cannot fix the agreed fault on your laptop, you pay nothing — not even for the diagnostic. This applies to every job across all service areas.

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.

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 $89 including fitting and testing.

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.

Common questions

Laptop Repairs Melbourne FAQs

How much does laptop screen replacement cost?

Laptop screen replacements typically range from $120–$280 depending on the screen size, resolution, and laptop model. We provide an exact quote after assessing the screen type.

Can you repair a laptop that won't turn on?

Yes. A laptop that won't power on is one of the most common faults we see. Causes range from a dead battery to a faulty power board — we diagnose on-site and quote before touching anything.

Do you upgrade laptop RAM and storage?

Yes. We upgrade RAM and install SSDs for most laptops. An SSD upgrade is the single most impactful improvement for older machines — often making a 6-year-old laptop run like new.

Which laptop brands do you repair?

We repair Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, Samsung, Microsoft Surface, and all Apple MacBook models. If your brand isn't listed, contact us — we handle most makes.

How long does a laptop repair take?

Most screen and battery repairs are completed same-day or next-day. SSD upgrades typically take 2–4 hours. Complex hardware faults may take 1–3 days if specialist parts are needed.

Do you offer a warranty on laptop repairs?

Yes. All parts and labour carry a 90-day warranty. If the same fault recurs within 90 days of repair, we fix it at no additional cost.

Can you fix a laptop with water damage?

Yes — we handle water-damaged laptops. Success rates depend on how quickly the device was powered off and how long it sat wet. Use our water damage first response guide immediately.
