🔧 What Each Repair Involves

Screen replacement (from $150)

A cracked panel, lines across the display or a black screen with a working backlight usually means a new LCD. Standard 15.6-inch panels sit at the low end. Touchscreens, OLED and MacBook displays cost more because the glass and panel come as one part. See screen repair.

Battery replacement ($80–$200)

The range depends on whether the battery is a removable pack or glued inside the chassis. MacBooks and thin ultrabooks are at the top of the range. See battery replacement.

Keyboard repair (from $60)

A few dead keys after a spill can sometimes be cleaned. Many modern laptops rivet the keyboard to the top case, so the whole palm-rest assembly is replaced, which raises the cost. See keyboard repair.

Hinge repair (from $80)

A loose or cracked hinge often breaks the screw mounts in the plastic casing. Fixing it early is cheaper than waiting for it to tear the screen cable. See hinge repair.

Overheating (from $50)

Most overheating is dust in the fan and dried thermal paste. A clean and repaste is the cheapest repair on this list and often restores lost performance. See fan cleaning.

Motherboard repair ($150–$500)

Simple fixes such as a failed power chip or charging circuit sit at $150–$300. Replacing a GPU chip or major component runs $300–$500. A full board swap can pass $1,000, which is when replacing the laptop usually makes more sense. See motherboard repair.

Water damage (from $100)

The price depends on how far liquid reached. Bring it in switched off and as soon as possible; corrosion keeps spreading for days. See water damage repair.

Upgrades (from $60)

Not a repair, but often the fix for a “slow” laptop. A RAM upgrade starts at $60 and an SSD upgrade at $80.

📈 What Makes a Repair Cost More

  • Brand and model. MacBook, Surface and gaming laptop parts cost more than mainstream Acer, HP or Lenovo parts.
  • Part availability. Older or rare models may need parts ordered in, adding a day or two and sometimes cost.
  • Integrated parts. Glued batteries and keyboards fused to the top case mean replacing a bigger assembly.
  • Hidden damage. A drop can crack a screen and a hinge mount at once. A proper diagnosis catches this before you pay.
  • Data recovery needs. If the drive itself has failed, recovery is quoted separately from the repair.

💡 How to Avoid Overpaying

  1. Get a written quote after diagnosis, not a phone estimate. Ours is free.
  2. Ask whether the part is OEM or compatible, and what the warranty covers.
  3. Ask if a cheaper fix exists. A slow laptop often needs an SSD, not a new laptop.
  4. Compare the quote to the laptop’s value. If a repair costs more than half the price of a comparable replacement, read our guide on whether to repair or replace your laptop.
⚠ Water spill?

Switch the laptop off, don’t try to charge it, and bring it in the same day. The cost of a water damage repair climbs the longer corrosion is left to spread.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is laptop diagnosis free?

Yes, at all four of our outlets. You only pay if you approve the repair.

Is it cheaper than the official service centre?

Usually, especially out of warranty. Official centres tend to replace whole assemblies; we repair at component level where possible.

Will I lose my data?

Most repairs don’t touch your drive. For anything involving the storage or motherboard, we’ll tell you first and can back up your data.

How long does a laptop repair take?

Batteries and screens are often done in 1–2 hours. Motherboard work takes 2–3 business days.
