PC Laptops

Repairs & upgrades

If it still has a good board, Dan can usually save it.

Bring the laptop, the charger, and a short note about what failed. Dan runs a diagnostic, prices parts, and waits for your yes before opening the chassis.

01

Diagnose

Boot, battery, storage, display, ports, and thermals. You get a written finding, not a shrug.

02

Approve

Parts and labor quoted first. Approximate and unsupported work stays off the bench until you say go.

03

Return tested

We boot it, stress the fix, and show you the result. Data stays yours unless you asked for a wipe.

Common jobs

The work that comes in every week.

Screen & hinge

Cracked lids, flicker, and hinges that will not stay open.

Battery & power

Swollen cells, no-charge, and DC jacks that only work at an angle.

SSD & RAM

Clone to a faster drive, add memory, and stop the swap-file crawl.

Keyboard, trackpad, ports

Spills, missing keys, USB that died, and HDMI that never quite connected.

OS refresh

Clean install, driver pass, and a backup first when the drive still reads.

Data transfer

Move files to a new laptop or an external drive before the old one is wiped.
