Laptop repair guides
Windows laptops, every brand. Diagnosis you can run yourself, what each fault usually costs, and when a repair stops being worth it.
What these guides are for
Almost every laptop that arrives at the bench has been diagnosed once already, usually by a search engine and occasionally by a shop that wanted to sell a part. These guides exist so that you can do the first half of the diagnosis yourself, arrive knowing roughly what is wrong, and recognise a quote that does not make sense.
They cover the faults we actually see: machines that will not power on, thermal throttling and fan noise, blue screens, spills, dying batteries, and the two upgrades — SSD and RAM — that make an old laptop feel new. Where a repair is not worth doing, they say so. A workshop that never tells you to keep your money is not being straight with you.
