Straight answers before you book.
How much does a laptop screen replacement cost?
Fitting labour starts at £99. The total repair price is this labour fee plus the exact cost of the replacement display panel required for your specific model. We always give a fixed quote before ordering any parts.
My laptop refuses to charge — can it be fixed?
Often, yes. On the bench this is usually a worn power brick, an ageing battery, or a damaged DC jack or USB-C port. The free diagnostic shows which one it is before we quote.
Can you recover files if my laptop won't turn on?
Often, if the drive itself is still readable. Files sit on the internal drive, not on the screen or the power circuit. If the motherboard is dead we can still try to copy documents and photos from a healthy drive, from £79, onto an external drive. A clicking or failed drive is a different job, and we cannot promise every file will come back.
