Pricing and how repairs work
Diagnosis and repair costs
$150/hour including GST
For standalone diagnosis and troubleshooting. Hardware parts and repairs are quoted separately for the exact model and diagnosed fault.
If an approved repair quote explicitly includes diagnosis, that included work is not charged again. We confirm the scope and price before paid work begins.
Arrange the right help for your laptop
Software and troubleshooting: remote or onsite support may suit the task. Hardware faults: physical damage, intermittent power or storage problems may need inspection.
- Describe the problem. Send the model if known, symptoms, suburb and useful photos. Mention important files.
- We review the options. A local person checks safety, data risk, parts and repair value, then confirms the service arrangement.
- Approve the scope and price. Paid work starts after approval. Follow messages and updates in My Tech Help.

HP, Dell, Lenovo and ASUS repair questions
HP, Dell, Lenovo and ASUS laptop repair questions in Epping
HP battery replacement: A short battery life, swelling or unexpected shutdown can have different causes. Check the exact HP model and battery condition before deciding on a replacement. If a battery looks swollen, stop using or charging the laptop and seek advice.
Dell laptop not charging: A damaged cable, USB-C or barrel connector, charging port or internal power fault may look similar. Avoid forcing a loose connector. Record the model and charger symptoms so the correct assessment can be arranged.
Lenovo and ASUS laptop repairs: Slow startup, damaged screens, overheating and charging problems depend on the specific model and fault. Parts availability and repair costs need confirmation before work.

Hinge, lid and casing damage
What the damage may involve
A broken corner near the hinge can involve the hinge itself, the hinge mounting points, lid/back cover, screen bezel, palm-rest/top case, bottom cover or more than one part. You do not need to identify the technical part before asking for help.
What to tell us
Tell us whether the case lifts or separates when the lid moves, whether the screen flickers, and whether the laptop still opens and closes safely. If movement makes the damage worse, stop forcing the lid.

How much does laptop repair in Epping cost?
Standalone laptop diagnosis and troubleshooting is $150/hour including GST. The current indicative laptop screen replacement range is $229–$549 including GST, depending on the model, screen type and required parts. Battery, charging-port and hinge repairs also require a fault-specific quote. If an approved repair quote expressly includes diagnosis, that work is not charged again. Check our current pricing guide before approving a repair.
How long will a laptop screen or battery repair take?
Timing depends on diagnosis, compatible-part availability and the current workload. Provide the laptop model and a photo of visible damage so the next step can be assessed. An enquiry does not reserve a repair slot; the repair scope and timing need confirmation.
Can you help with a broken hinge or separating laptop case?
Yes, we can assess the hinge, mounting points, casing and nearby cables. A stiff hinge or cracked mount may need more than a screen replacement. Avoid repeatedly opening and closing the lid or forcing it shut; explain where the case is separating and provide photos without personal information.
Can you help with school laptops and protect schoolwork?
We can assess slow startup, Wi-Fi, charging and common school-laptop problems. Tell us which files are important and whether the device is managed by a school. School-managed accounts or settings may require the school’s IT team. Back up files only if the laptop is stable; do not send passwords or account codes. Read the school laptop guide. For a stable personal Windows laptop, Microsoft’s Windows Backup guide explains supported backup options; the Windows Backup app does not support work or school accounts.
What if the laptop charges only when the cable is held at an angle?
The charger, cable, port and battery need separate checks; the symptom alone does not confirm a faulty port. Stop bending the plug to make it work. The Lalor charging example explains why charger checks, port inspection and battery health all matter. If you notice swelling, stop using or charging the laptop and seek assessment. Dell owners can read Dell’s guidance on handling swollen batteries; do not press, puncture or attempt to remove a swollen battery yourself.
Should I repair an older laptop or replace it?
Compare the total repair quote with the laptop’s age, performance, battery condition and the cost of a suitable replacement. Protecting files may be a separate priority from repairing the hardware. The South Morang repair-or-replace example shows the factors considered, rather than a universal age limit.
Can lost laptop files always be recovered?
No. Recovery depends on storage condition, damage and what has happened since the fault. If files matter, avoid resets, reinstalls and repeated restarts until the risk is assessed. Read laptop data-recovery guidance.
What should I include in an Epping laptop repair enquiry?
Include your suburb, brand, exact model if known, what happened, any visible damage and whether important files are backed up. Use QuoteMe below to describe the problem. Keep serial numbers, passwords and private account screenshots out of public messages. For Apple laptops, use the Epping MacBook repair page.
Ready to explain the problem?
Tell us the laptop model if known, the symptoms and whether important files need protecting. You can review the request before sending it.
An enquiry does not confirm a booking or approve paid work.
