Common laptop problems we fix
Start with what your laptop is doing. Find the symptom below and here’s what the fix looks like.
Cracked or black screen
A dropped laptop or a busted panel gets a new screen for your exact model. Cracked, black, or flickering, we swap it and test it before it goes back.
Won’t turn on
Nothing when you hit the power button, or it lights up and won’t boot. We diagnose the cause and get it powered on again.
Spilled liquid
Coffee, water, anything. Bring it in and we’ll assess the damage and get it working again. Don’t keep trying to power it on in the meantime.
Slow or infected
Running slow or acting up? We clean out viruses and malware and get Windows back in shape. Faster storage and more memory help too.
Dead battery
A laptop that dies fast or won’t hold a charge gets a fresh battery. We also fix charging ports that only work at the right angle.
Broken hinge / loose screen
A hinge that cracks the case or a lid that won’t stay up. We repair the hinge so the screen holds its position again.
We also handle the smaller stuff.
Keyboard & trackpad
Dead keys, a mushy trackpad, or an input that stopped responding.
Charging port repair
A port that won’t charge or only charges when you hold the cable just so.
SSD & RAM upgrades
A slow machine gets faster storage and more memory so it keeps up again.
OS reinstall
A clean Windows reinstall to get a machine that’s bogged down running right.
Not sure what’s wrong? Bring it in and we’ll find out.

Once we know what’s wrong, you get a firm price. The $79 diagnostic fee goes directly toward the cost of your repair, so if you proceed with the fix, you’re not paying extra for the diagnosis.
Repair
3–5 business days totalFor straightforward part replacements, we order the part the same day and usually finish once it arrives. Most laptop repairs run 3 to 5 business days total, and that window includes the 1 to 2 day diagnostic — it is not added on top. Some common parts are available sooner.
Need files off a laptop that won’t boot?
We recommend backing up your data before any repair if possible. While we take care to protect your files, some repairs carry a risk of data loss. If your laptop won’t turn on and you need files recovered, ask us about our data recovery services.
