Book a diagnostic checkBefore you visit
Before you bring your laptop in
- Back up what you can If it still starts, copy your documents and photos to OneDrive, Google Drive or an external drive. Most repairs don’t touch your files, but it’s worth doing first.
- Bring the charger Especially if the fault is charging or power. We test the charger and the laptop together.
- Check the warranty If your laptop is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, a repair there may cost you nothing, so check before you pay anyone, us included.
- Work laptops If it belongs to your employer, ask your IT team first. They may have a support contract that covers it.
- Tell us about drops and spills Even ones from weeks ago. They change what we look for.

More on laptops, PCs and scams
Windows laptop faultsPower, screens, batteries, keys, hinges and slow laptops
Windows laptop repairs start from £49.99. Common faults we fix:
- It won’t turn on or won’t charge. We find out whether it’s the charger, the charging port, the battery or the board, so you don’t buy a new charger you didn’t need.
- A cracked or flickering screen. We fit the right screen for your model.
- The battery dies in an hour. A new battery for your model, so it lasts away from the plug again.
- Keys that don’t work. From a few dead keys to a whole keyboard.
- A broken hinge or a cracked case. Hinges and cases are repaired in our workshop.
- It’s painfully slow. An SSD upgrade, with your files moved across, can make an older laptop much quicker.
Overheating repairs include a clean and new thermal paste. See laptop repairs for more.
Desktop and gaming PCsGraphics cards, upgrades, all-in-ones and new builds
We test graphics cards and tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense, and we upgrade graphics cards, memory and power supplies after checking they’re compatible.
We repair all-in-one PCs and water-cooled gaming PCs, and we also spec and build gaming PCs in house. Desktop PC repairs start from £69: see desktop PC repairs.
Gaming PCs have a £65 diagnostic fee, paid when you drop the PC off and taken off the bill if you go ahead.
Pop-ups, scams and virusesWhat to do after a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft or your bank
Has someone called claiming to be from your broadband company, Microsoft or your bank, and asked you to let them into your computer?
- Disconnect it from the internet.
- Call your bank if you shared any details.
- Bring the computer to us.
Never pay someone who rings out of the blue to fix a problem you didn’t know you had. Virus removal, from £69.99, removes any remote access programs the caller left behind.
