Computer repair

Laptop or computer broken?
We know who can fix it.

A laptop that won't boot, a MacBook running scorching hot, an iMac with lines across the screen. We don't turn the screws ourselves — we send you to the workshop that knows this work, close to you. Price and warranty clear up front.

What we see most

A laptop or desktop has far more that can fail than a phone. Which is exactly why the gap is wide between someone who does it on the side and someone who is inside these daily.

Is repairing still worth it?

With computers it pays off more often than people expect — but not always. What we weigh:

  1. 01

    What exactly failed?

    Replacing a drive or a battery is nearly always worth it. A board on an eight-year-old laptop usually is not.

  2. 02

    Cost against a replacement

    If the repair costs more than half of a comparable refurbished machine, we will say so plainly.

  3. 03

    Does it still get updates?

    A machine no longer receiving security updates is a repair with an expiry date. Worth knowing beforehand.

Roughly what does it cost?

It varies a lot: dust and thermal paste is a different job from a mainboard. The workshop establishes what is actually wrong and then gives you an exact price — you decide after that.

Where can you go?

Frequently asked

Do you handle Windows laptops, or only Apple?+

Both. Give us the make and model in your request and we will find a workshop that works on it — for MacBooks and iMacs we point you to someone with Apple experience.

Do my files survive?+

For most repairs, yes. When the drive itself is the fault that is precisely the question, which is why we say up front what the odds are. If you can back up, back up.

How long does it take?+

An SSD or battery is often same-day. Liquid damage and data recovery take longer, because of the cleaning, drying and testing involved.

What if it cannot be fixed?+

You hear that, with the reason. Many workshops then charge only a diagnostic fee or nothing at all — agree that with them beforehand.

Do you repair it yourselves?+

No. We were at the bench from 2012, but these days we refer you on. That gets you a specialist rather than a generalist.
