Professional Laptop Repair Dundee: Your Local Computer Specialists
When your laptop breaks down, you need reliable laptop repair services that won’t break the bank from people you know you can trust. Located conveniently on Perth Road within reach of the city centre, West End and Dundee and Abertay Universities, our laptop repair service is owned and run by local people who have been in computer repair for over twenty years.
We understand how crucial their laptop is for work, studies, or just staying connected for many people, and we know the type of service customers in the area most need.
Whether you’re a student at the nearby Dundee and Abertay University, a professional living in Dundee or just someone who needs their laptop or notebook computer fixed, we’re near you!
Screen Replacement Services
Cracked notebook and laptop screens are one of the most common problems we get coming into the shop. Students and professionals both need to carry them about where they go. And it’s easy to drop yours when you’re in a rush to get to your next lecture or to accidentally close the lid with something caught underneath while you’re getting ready for your next client. Both can result in a cracked or shattered display that needs replacement- that’s where we come in!
We can also help with cases where your screen is dark, dull or completely black with only a faint display visible or nothing at all. That is more often down to internal component failure, and we know how to fix that.
We can source screens for all major brands, and typically quickly as well- if we don’t have yours in stock, we can get it in quickly, and at a price that keeps things affordable for you!
Charging Port and Power Jack Repairs
A failing charging port can make your laptop completely unusable once the battery dies. This problem can often develops gradually – first the charger needs to be positioned just right, then it stops charging completely.
It’s often assumed by people that they’ll need a new laptop, but charging port replacement is usually straightforward and much more affordable. We’ve repaired power jacks on everything from basic student laptops to high-end gaming machines, and we can do so at a price that makes this economically worthwhile for you.
However, this repair involves careful soldering work, so it’s not something you should attempt yourself.
Laptop Fan Replacement and Overheating Solutions
Overheating laptops are particularly common due to Dundee’s high student population in the Perth Road area, particularly during “dissertation season” when their machines are run constantly!
When laptop fans fail, the internal temperature rises quickly, causing performance throttling or unexpected shutdowns. (Does this sound familiar? Now you know what the problem is!)
Sometimes the issue is just dust buildup, which can be cleaned out if- like us- you know what you’re doing and can disassemble and reassemble laptops with skill. However, often the fan motor itself has worn out and needs replacement. We always test the thermal management system thoroughly after fan replacement to ensure your laptop runs cool and quiet.
Keyboard Repair and Replacement
Spilled coffee, worn-out keys, or keys that stick are daily occurrences in our store. Whether it’s a single key that’s stopped working or the entire keyboard that needs replacement, we handle both mechanical and membrane keyboard systems.
For newer laptops with backlit keyboards, we ensure the lighting functions properly after replacement. Sometimes we can repair individual keys, but full keyboard replacement is often more cost-effective and reliable long-term.
Motherboard Repair Services
Motherboard issues are among the most complex laptop problems we handle. These can range from simple component replacements to intricate circuit repairs. Common symptoms include laptops that won’t power on, random freezing and USB ports that stop working.
Our technicians are skilled and can handle the type of motherboard repairs that many other local repair places in Dundee aren’t comfortable with. (These require a high level of microsoldering skill).
However, we’re honest about whether this is worth the time and cost. Depending upon the availability of spare motherboards, it’s often more economically viable to simply replace them. These are often hard to track down for older models, but we have years of experience in this area and know where to look.
Palm Rest and Case Repairs
Cracked palm rests and damaged laptop casings might seem cosmetic, but they can affect your laptop’s structural integrity and professional appearance. This is especially important for business users who need their laptops to look presentable during meetings.
We can usually track down replacement cases, palm rests and other components. If the crack is minor, it can also often be repaired with minimal cosmetic sign of that!
Why Would I Choose a Local Laptop Repair Service in Dundee?
Why not- we’re convenient, likely better value and more honest than a typical “big business” employing a varying turnover of faceless employees!
Working with a local repair service means faster turnaround times and the ability to discuss your repair needs face-to-face, with people who don’t have a vested interest in corporate policies and upselling.
We understand the specific needs of Dundee’s student and professional population and local businesses. University students often need quick repairs during term time, while local professionals require reliable service that minimises downtime. Our Perth Road location makes us easily accessible from both universities, the West End, and the city centre.
Getting Your Laptop Repaired
If you bring your laptop in, we’ll let you know if your data should be backed up or transferred to another device for storage while it’s repaired.
We also provide honest diagnostic assessments and won’t recommend unnecessary repairs. Sometimes a simple cleaning or driver update can solve problems that initially seem serious. Our goal is getting your laptop working properly again at a fair price, whether that’s a simple repair or helping you decide if replacement makes more sense.
Our laptop repair service covers everything from quick fixes to complete rebuilds, serving residents, professionals and students throughout Dundee with reliable, affordable computer repair solutions.
