Stop
Do not rely on a generic range when the device has liquid damage, board damage, multiple faults, data risk or a swollen battery. Those situations need assessment first.

Risk levelMedium
Do the safe checks first, then get advice before approving parts, labour or replacement costs.

Cost Factors
What Affects Repair Cost in Melbourne?
Repair pricing in Melbourne varies based on a few key factors. Understanding these helps you interpret any estimate you receive.
Device Type & Brand
Apple parts cost significantly more than Windows equivalents. MacBook screens and keyboards often run 2–3× the price of comparable PC components.
Fault Severity
A screen replacement is straightforward. Motherboard-level faults, water damage, or data recovery from a failed drive require more time and specialist tools.
Parts Quality
OEM (original manufacturer) parts cost more than aftermarket alternatives. We always quote both where available and explain the trade-offs.
Device Age
Parts for older devices can be harder to source and may cost more. Devices over 7 years old sometimes require assessment before parts are ordered.
Common questions
Repair Cost Calculator — FAQs
Common laptop repair guides are: screen replacement $229–$549, battery replacement $149–$299, keyboard/touchpad/port repair $149–$349 and SSD upgrade/data transfer $199–$399. The exact device and fault must be confirmed before the fixed quote.
The current phone/tablet screen guide is $149–$649. The exact model, display technology and part quality must be confirmed before the fixed quote.
Data recovery is assessment-first because the storage, failure type and recovery path vary too widely for a reliable generic range. Any assessment or recovery charge is explained before paid work begins.
Pricing depends on the agreed service. Any assessment, travel or labour charge that applies is explained before paid work. The Eligible Repair Promise applies only to qualifying repair jobs and the agreed fault.
The calculators provide guide ranges only. Final pricing depends on your specific model and the exact fault — we quote before starting work.
