What we check
Understand the cause before replacing parts.

We inspect the hinges and their mounting points. Repair options depend on the damage and replacement-part availability.
Ports & connectors
Charging, USB, audio and display connections may need cleaning, a replacement module or board-level work. We quote the appropriate route.
Before you start
Useful details for your estimate.
Note the exact model and when the fault began. Include any recent drops, liquid exposure, upgrades or error messages. A photograph of the symptom can be useful at the assessment stage, but do not share passwords or private files.
Received by 2 p.m. on an open business day, estimated by the end of that business day. Later receipts are estimated by the end of the next open business day. Estimated within 2 business hours after receipt and the required information. Both paid options are available online or by arranged drop-off. An estimate explains the next step. Parts and labour are approved separately after the fault and repair options are understood.
If your files are at risk, say so before a reinstall or storage replacement is considered.
Symptoms and useful observations
Describe what the computer is doing.
- Missing or repeating keysState which keys fail and whether the issue occurs in every application. External keyboards, internal connectors and the keyboard assembly help narrow the fault.
- Trackpad and pointer problemsDescribe clicks, movement, gestures and whether the case is lifting. Physical distortion or swelling should be mentioned before arranging a handover.
- Broken hinges or cracked housingsA hinge can pull mounting points out of the enclosure or damage display wiring. Keep the lid in a safe position and avoid forcing it open or closed.
- USB, audio and display portsName each affected port and what you have tried connecting. The repair may involve a replaceable module or the motherboard, depending on the design.

The proposed work is explained before it is approved. Tell us which files must be preserved and ask about any data-affecting steps before proceeding.
