Laptop Repairs
Drop your laptop off at my Wynnum workshop for screen, battery, charging, keyboard and hinge faults. I test the likely cause before ordering parts or quoting a repair.
- Screen & Backlight
- Battery & Charging
- Keyboard & Trackpad
- Hinges, Fans & Storage
Laptop repairs need a bit more caution than desktop repairs because the parts are model-specific and tightly packed together. A laptop that will not charge might be a charger, battery, charging port or board fault. A black screen might be the panel, backlight, graphics output or a laptop that is not actually starting. A noisy or hot laptop may need cleaning, fan work or a check for heat damage. At the appointment-only Wynnum workshop, I test the likely cause before ordering anything: charger output, charging behaviour, battery condition, screen/backlight, keyboard or trackpad faults, hinges, fan operation and drive health where relevant. Some laptops are not economical to repair because parts are expensive or built into the machine; if that is the case, I will say so before you spend money chasing a poor-value repair. If the fault turns out to be Windows or software rather than laptop hardware, I will point you to the better option instead of treating it as a parts job.
My laptop won't charge — is it the battery, the charger, or something else?
It could be any of the three — a worn battery, a faulty charger or cable, or a damaged charging port on the laptop itself. I'll test each one separately rather than guessing, since replacing the wrong part won't fix it.
Can you repair a laptop with a cracked screen?
In most cases, yes. Screen costs vary a lot by model, so I'll check part availability and give you a firm price before ordering anything.
Is it worth repairing an older laptop?
It depends on the fault and the laptop. A screen or battery replacement on an otherwise healthy laptop is usually worthwhile; a major hardware failure on a very old model sometimes isn't. I'll give you an honest opinion, not just a repair quote.
