If your laptop screen is cracked, flickering or showing no picture, bring it in for us to take a look. We’ll likely need to book it in to assess the fault properly and check the screen model.

We’ll quote once we’ve confirmed what parts are needed and sourced the right screen for your device.

If your trackpad or mouse is playing up, pop in and we’ll take a quick look. We may need to book it in to check if something’s come loose underneath or if it needs replacing.

We’ll be able to quote for the repair once we’ve assessed the fault and looked into the cost of any parts needed.

If your laptop lid feels loose, stiff or isn’t closing properly, it might look like a hinge issue — but it’s not always the hinge itself. Sometimes the plastic inside the lid where the hinge screws attach has broken away.

Bring it in for a look. We’ll usually need to book it in to check what’s actually failed and whether it’s the hinge, the lid casing, or both. We’ll quote once we’ve assessed it and priced up the parts needed.

If your laptop keyboard has stopped responding, has stuck keys, or types the wrong letters, bring it in for us to check over.

We’ll likely need to book it in to test whether it’s a keyboard fault, a software issue, or a deeper problem with the motherboard.

We’ll give you a quote once we’ve diagnosed the fault and checked the cost of any replacement parts.
