A laptop problem does not always mean you need a new laptop. Here is what we see most often.
Cracked or flickering screen
Drops, closing the lid on a pen or earbuds, and pressure in a backpack all crack laptop screens. Lines, flickering or a dark screen can also come from a loose cable, which we check first.
Battery and charging
If the laptop only works plugged in, dies quickly, or the trackpad feels raised, the battery may be worn or swollen. A swollen battery should be replaced right away. Charging problems can also come from the charger, cable or the charging port.
Spills
If you spill something on your laptop, turn it off right away, unplug it, and do not try to dry it with heat. Bring it in as soon as you can so we can check it before corrosion sets in.
Slow or will not start
Software problems, updates that fail, and a full or failing drive can make a laptop slow or stop it from starting. We diagnose the cause and explain the options.
Back up your files
Before any laptop repair, back up important files if you can. If the laptop will not start, tell us what data matters to you.
