If your laptop is getting slow, making weird noises, or just won’t turn on, you don’t have to toss it. We specialize in bringing old laptops back to life without breaking the bank. Our technicians know which parts can be swapped, what software tricks work, and when a repair is worth it.
First off, fixing an old laptop saves you money. A new machine can cost hundreds, while most repairs cost a fraction of that. Second, you keep your data safe. Backing up is great, but moving everything to a new PC takes time. A repair lets you keep the same drive, same settings, and the same familiarity.
Third, it’s better for the planet. Less e‑waste means a smaller carbon footprint. Many components – RAM, SSDs, batteries – can be reused. Plus, the newer parts we install are often more energy‑efficient than the originals.
1. Describe the problem clearly. Tell us exactly what you see: any error messages, strange sounds, or when the issue started. The more detail you give, the faster we can pinpoint the fault.
2. Back up your data. Even though we’re careful, any repair carries a small risk. Copy your important files to an external drive or cloud storage before we start.
3. Check the warranty. If your laptop is still under manufacturer warranty, we can help you claim it or work alongside the official service. If it’s out, we’ll give you a clear quote before any work begins.
4. Ask about part options. Older laptops sometimes have hard‑to‑find parts. We can source refurbished or compatible new parts, and we’ll explain any trade‑offs so you can decide.
5. Keep communication open. We’ll update you on progress, let you know if extra work is needed, and get your approval before any extra cost.
When you call us, we’ll schedule a same‑day or next‑day visit, depending on how urgent it is. Our techs arrive with all the tools and parts they might need, so most fixes happen on the spot.
Typical repairs include screen replacements, battery swaps, hard‑drive to SSD upgrades, keyboard fixes, and cleaning out dust that causes overheating. Even software issues – like corrupted OS files or malware – are handled quickly.
After the repair, we run a full check to make sure everything works as it should. We also give you a short guide on how to keep your laptop running smoothly, such as cleaning vents regularly and avoiding heavy multitasking on an ageing CPU.
