Professional Laptop Repair Service
Expert hardware diagnostics and component-level repair for Windows laptops, MacBooks, and Chromebooks. We specialise in complex motherboard rework, liquid damage recovery, and structural chassis repairs.
Our service provides a technical alternative to manufacturer service centres, specifically for out-of-warranty laptops and complex hardware failures that standard “module-swapping” shops cannot resolve.
Secure nationwide mail-in service or drop-off at over 24,000 Service Points across the UK.
Advanced Laptop Diagnostics & Motherboard Rework
Laptops are subject to significant thermal and mechanical stress. Our diagnostic methodology goes beyond simple part replacement, utilizing schematic analysis and precision micro-soldering to repair logic boards at the component level.
⚙️ Component-Level Rework
We repair failed power rails, shorted capacitors, and failed ICs on the motherboard, often saving customers the high cost of a full board replacement.
📊 Fixed-Price Quotes
Following our diagnostic phase, you receive a binding, fixed-price quote. We ensure full transparency regarding parts and labour before you commit.
🛠️ Structural Integrity
We perform precision repairs on failed hinges and reinforced chassis mounts, preventing further damage to the display and internal cables.
Laptop Brands We Commonly Repair
Our technicians are experienced in the specific architecture and thermal management systems of all major laptop manufacturers, from ultra-portables to high-end gaming rigs.
- Apple MacBook (Pro, Air, Retina)
- Dell (XPS, Inspiron, Latitude)
- HP (Spectre, Envy, Pavilion)
- Lenovo (ThinkPad, Yoga, Legion)
- ASUS (ZenBook, ROG, VivoBook)
- Acer (Swift, Aspire, Predator)
- Microsoft Surface Laptop
- Razer Blade
- MSI Gaming
- Samsung Galaxy Book
- Google Chromebook
This list is not exhaustive. We assess repairability based on part availability, circuit design, and the economic viability of the repair.
Common Laptop Failure Vectors
Laptop faults typically manifest through environmental accidents or long-term thermal degradation:
💧 Liquid Ingress Recovery
Spills initiate immediate electrochemical corrosion. We perform ultrasonic cleaning and trace repair to neutralise corrosion and restore board functionality.
🔥 Thermal & Power Failures
Failed cooling systems lead to GPU/CPU overheating. We also resolve “no power” issues caused by failed DC jacks or internal charging circuitry.
View Advanced Faults (Display & Data)
🖥️ Display & Backlight Faults
We resolve flickering screens, dead pixels, and failed backlight circuits (often caused by blown fuses on the logic board).
💾 Data Recovery & Storage
If your laptop is non-functional, we can often perform direct data extraction from the SSD or HDD to ensure your critical files are preserved.
Repair vs Replace: The Engineering Perspective
✅ When Repair Makes Sense
- High-End Workstations: MacBooks, XPS, or Gaming laptops where the residual value remains high.
- Specific Component Failure: When the fault is isolated to a repairable circuit or modular part (Keyboard, Screen, Port).
- Data Access: When the primary goal is to restore the device to a state where data can be retrieved.
❌ When Replacement is Better
- Severe Liquid Damage: When corrosion has compromised the structural integrity of the multi-layer PCB.
- Economic Obsolescence: When the device is over 6-7 years old and repair costs exceed its market value.
- Catastrophic CPU/GPU Failure: On older models where the cost of a replacement chip and BGA rework is prohibitive.
Service Logistics & Frequently Asked Questions
The Repair Pathway: How it Works
How long does a laptop repair take?
Standard diagnostics take 2-4 working days. Repair times vary based on part availability and fault complexity. We provide an estimated completion date with your quote.
Do you repair MacBook logic boards?
Yes, we specialise in MacBook logic board repair, including liquid damage and failed power rails. This is often a significantly cheaper alternative to an Apple Store board replacement.
Can you fix broken laptop hinges?
Yes, we perform structural repairs on hinges and chassis mounts. We often reinforce the area to ensure the repair is stronger than the original factory design.
