Common Laptop Problems I Fix
Here are the most frequent laptop issues I help Wollongong residents with:
Cracked or broken screens: This is one of the most common laptop repairs. Whether it's a small crack or completely shattered screen, I can replace it with a quality replacement. Your display will look like new and function perfectly.
Laptop won't turn on: This could be a power issue, battery problem, charging port failure, or internal hardware fault. I'll diagnose the issue and explain your repair options clearly.
Battery not holding charge: If your laptop battery drains quickly or won't hold a charge, it's likely time for a battery replacement. I use quality replacement batteries that will restore your laptop's portable power.
Running very slow: Slow performance can be caused by too many startup programmes, malware, a failing hard drive, or insufficient RAM. I can diagnose the cause and either clean up your system, remove viruses, upgrade to an SSD, or add more memory.
Overheating and shutting down: Laptops that overheat often have dust-clogged cooling systems or failing fans. I can clean the cooling system, replace thermal paste, and repair or replace fans to keep your laptop running cool.
Keyboard not working properly: Whether it's sticky keys, missing keys, or keys that don't respond, I can repair or replace laptop keyboards.
Charging port problems: If your laptop won't charge or only charges at certain angles, the charging port may be loose or damaged. I can repair or replace faulty charging ports.
Water or liquid damage: If your laptop has been exposed to liquid, bring it in as soon as possible. The sooner I can assess and clean the damage, the better the chances of recovery.
Broken hinges: Laptop hinges can break or become loose over time. I can repair or reinforce damaged hinges so your screen opens and closes properly.
Virus and malware infections: If your laptop is showing pop-ups, running slowly, or behaving strangely, it may have a virus or malware infection. I can thoroughly clean your system and show you how to stay protected.
Hard drive failure: If your laptop won't boot or you're getting hard drive errors, the drive may be failing. I can replace it and, in many cases, recover your important data.

Is Your Laptop Worth Repairing?
Not every laptop is worth repairing, and I'll always be honest with you about this. For newer laptops with relatively minor damage, repair almost always makes financial sense. For older laptops with major damage or multiple failing components, replacement might be the better option.
I'll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice. If repair doesn't make sense, I'll tell you upfront and help you understand your options. I won't charge you for a basic assessment.
Upgrades to Improve Performance
Sometimes your laptop doesn't need repair - it just needs an upgrade. I can install:
SSD (Solid State Drive): Replacing your old hard drive with an SSD is the single best upgrade for most laptops. Your laptop will start up faster, programmes will load quicker, and overall performance will improve dramatically.
Additional RAM: If your laptop struggles with multiple programmes open, more RAM can help. I'll check if your laptop can be upgraded and install compatible memory.
These upgrades are often very affordable and can add years of life to an older laptop.
