Start with the symptoms
What is wrong with your laptop?
You do not need to identify the failed part. These common problems help you find the right information before you enquire.
No power or charging
No lights, a loose charging socket or a laptop that only works at a certain cable angle. The charger, socket and power circuit may need separate checks.
Charging socket repairsBattery not lasting
Short battery life, unexpected shutdowns or a laptop that only works while plugged in. Ask about a compatible battery and any related charging fault.
Battery replacementSlow, freezing or low on storage
Long startup times and unresponsive apps can have several causes. Storage health, software and upgrade options should be checked before replacing parts.
Storage and SSD upgradesHot, noisy or shutting down
Constant fan noise, poor airflow or shutdowns during demanding work. Cooling may need cleaning, a fan replacement or further fault diagnosis.
Laptop cooling serviceLiquid spill or board fault
Liquid damage, repeated power failures or faults beyond a replaceable socket need careful assessment. Describe what happened and whether it has been powered on since.
Motherboard repair optionsOther problems? Explore keyboard replacement, fan replacement, malware removal, data recovery or BIOS lock enquiries. For a spill, see liquid damage repair.
The model makes a difference
Everyday laptops, work machines and gaming laptops
Enquire about makes including Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and MSI. Repair suitability depends on the model, fault and available parts.
Home and work laptops
Tell us which everyday tasks have stopped working, such as signing in, joining meetings or opening files. For a work-managed laptop, check with your IT team before arranging third-party repair.
Gaming and performance laptops
Mention whether the problem appears while gaming, charging or under other heavy use. Cooling layout, graphics hardware and the power adapter can all affect the assessment.
Thin laptops, 2-in-1s and Chromebooks
Touchscreens, hinges, built-in memory and battery access vary by model. An upgrade available on one laptop may not be possible on another. For an Apple laptop, use our MacBook repair page.
Know what to expect
What will the repair cost?
The useful answer is a quote for your laptop and its fault. A screen replacement, software problem and damaged motherboard need different parts, testing and time.
- Assessment: an enquiry is free. Confirm any diagnostic charge before booking and whether it is included in the repair price.
- Parts and labour: ask what the quote covers, the proposed part specification and the warranty terms for that repair.
- Repair or replace: compare the total cost with the laptop’s condition, age and usefulness. Discuss your files before deciding to replace it.
Before you enquire
A few details help us assess it
- Make and model, plus the symptoms. Use our model number guide if needed.
- When it started, any error message, and whether there was a spill, drop or recent repair.
- Your postcode, whether it turns on and whether important files are backed up.
- If a visit or handover is arranged, ask whether to include the charger and any affected accessories.
Do not include passwords or recovery keys in the enquiry form.
A clear next step
From a fault to a repair plan
Start with what you can see. The assessment should explain the cause and your options before repair work goes ahead.
Tell us what happens
Send your model, symptoms and postcode using the form. Mention any deadline and files you need to keep.
Discuss the assessment
Suitable repair help is checked for your area. Confirm the service arrangement, any assessment fee and the expected next update.
Agree the work
Review the findings, price, parts and likely timing. Agree any extra work before it proceeds and ask what will be tested afterwards.
Enquire about a repair
Free enquiry. No obligation to book.
Choose a suitable arrangement
At home, remotely or in a workshop?
The fault determines the most practical option. Availability and arrangements are discussed for your postcode.
Home or office visit
Useful when the problem involves your setup, printer or connection. Some laptop work may be suitable on site; confirm this before booking a visit.
Workshop assessment
Screen assemblies, liquid damage and board-level work may need specialist equipment and testing. Confirm any handover, collection or return arrangement first.
Remote support
An option for some software problems if the laptop starts and has a reliable internet connection. It cannot replace a broken screen, battery or charging socket.
After a spill, switch off and unplug the laptop if safe, and avoid repeated attempts to start it. If the case is bulging, stop using and charging it. Mention either issue when you enquire so the handling arrangements can be discussed.

Local help, checked first
Laptop repair near you
Enquire from London or elsewhere in the UK. Your postcode helps us check whether a suitable engineer can help.
A coverage page is a starting point, not a confirmed appointment. Local availability, the fault and the parts needed determine the service options. We will discuss those before a booking is arranged.

Laptop repair questions
Practical answers before you arrange an assessment.
Can my laptop be repaired if it will not turn on?
Possibly. No power can involve the charger, battery, socket or internal circuitry. Tell us whether any lights appear, whether the fan runs and whether anything happened immediately before the failure. An assessment is needed to identify the cause.
How long will a repair take?
Timing depends on diagnosis, parts availability and the testing required. Share your deadline when enquiring, then confirm an estimate with the engineer. Sending an enquiry does not confirm a same-day repair.
Will I lose my files?
A repair does not always require erasing files, but their preservation cannot be guaranteed. Back up accessible files if it is safe to do so and explain what must be kept. Do not agree to a reset or reinstall until the data implications are clear.
Is a screen replacement worth it?
Compare the quote with the laptop’s age, condition and replacement cost. Touchscreens and complete display assemblies can cost differently from standard panels. The exact model is needed to identify the correct part.
Can you repair a laptop with liquid damage?
You can enquire about an assessment, but recovery is not guaranteed. Tell us the type of liquid, when it happened and whether the laptop has been powered since. Avoid further charging or startup attempts.
Can I bring my laptop straight to a repair shop?
Confirm the service arrangement and address first. This form checks suitable repair help; it does not reserve a walk-in slot or confirm that a particular workshop can accept your laptop.
