Laptop Repairs Darwin

Cracked screens, dead batteries, loose charging ports, coffee spills and laptops that won’t turn on. Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and MacBook, at our Winnellie workshop.

Where the failure is a part, we replace it. Where it’s the board, we fix the board. A blown two-dollar component on a working fifteen-hundred-dollar laptop is worth chasing.

What we fix

The whole laptop, not just the easy bits.

Screens and hinges

Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens replaced, and the common cracked-lid-near-the-hinge failure repaired properly. Touchscreens on 2-in-1s too.

Charging ports

USB-C and barrel ports that only work at an angle, or not at all. Re-soldered to the board, not glued, with the charging circuit checked while we’re in there.

Batteries

Batteries that die in ten minutes or swell and push the trackpad up. Replaced with quality cells, not the cheapest pack online.

Won’t turn on

No lights, no fans, or a charge light with nothing else. We trace the power-up sequence on the board and find where it stops.

Liquid damage

Coffee, water, beer, rain. Boards are cleaned, corrosion removed and damaged parts replaced. Bring it in switched off, as soon as you can.

Keyboards and touchpads

Dead keys, sticky keys after a spill, worn touchpads and palmrests replaced.

Slow laptops

An SSD upgrade and a clean Windows install with your files kept is usually the biggest speed-up an older laptop can get. Memory upgrades where the machine allows.

Overheating

Thermal paste replaced, fans cleaned or swapped, and the heatsink seated properly. Common on laptops that have spent a wet season in Darwin.

MacBooks

Batteries, screens, keyboards, charging circuits and storage on MacBook Air and Pro, within the limits of parts availability.

Data and migration

Files rescued from failing drives, and everything moved across to the repaired or replacement machine. See data recovery.

Questions

Common questions

How much is a laptop screen replacement?

It depends on the panel. We identify the exact part for your model and quote it with labour before you commit. Common panels are a few days away; unusual ones can take longer.

My laptop is plugged in but not charging. Is it the charger?

Sometimes. We test the charger first because it’s the cheap answer. If it’s the port or the charging circuit on the board, we repair that.

Is a five-year-old laptop worth fixing?

Often, yes. If the screen, keyboard and case are fine, a new battery or an SSD makes it feel new for far less than replacing it. We tell you honestly when it isn’t.

Will my files be safe?

Yes. We don’t wipe anything without asking, and if the drive is failing we copy your data off first.

How long does it take?

Batteries, SSD upgrades and cleanups are often same or next day. Screens and ports depend on parts. Board repairs take longer and we tell you up front.

Do you fix MacBooks?

Yes, within parts availability: batteries, screens, keyboards, charging circuits and storage.

Where we work

Darwin, Palmerston and the rural area.

Drop-off at the Winnellie workshop is quickest. The tools for board work don’t fit in a van.

Before you come in

If liquid got in, leave it off and don’t charge it. Every attempt to power it on pushes current through a wet board.

Diagnosis is free. You get the quote in writing before any chargeable work starts.
