Common repairs
Screen
Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens. We fit a matching panel and test it for dead pixels, brightness and colour.
Hinges
Stiff, loose or broken hinges and mounts pulling out of the case. Fixing them early protects the screen.
Battery
Drains fast, shuts down with charge left or shows a service warning? We fit a new battery and check the charging circuit.
Keyboard
Missing, sticking or dead keys and spill damage. On some models the keyboard is fixed to the top case, and we tell you before starting.
Charging
Not charging, or only at an angle? We test the charger, the Round DC jack port and the power circuit to find the fault.
Slow laptop
Long start-ups and freezing are usually an old drive, too little memory or unwanted software. An SSD and a clean-up often fix it.
SSD and storage
On most models the SSD is a standard M.2 drive, so it can be upgraded or replaced and your files copied across.
Good to know
Aspires are great value but the plastic hinge mounts can break with daily use. An SSD and extra memory make a big difference to older Aspire 3 and 5 models.

Is it worth repairing my Acer Aspire 5 A515-57?
Often, yes, especially screens, hinges, batteries and SSD upgrades. If it is not worth it, we will say so.
