Common repairs
Screen
Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens. We fit a matching panel and test it for dead pixels, brightness and colour.
Overheating
Loud fans and slowdowns usually mean dust in the heatsink. We clean the cooling system and renew the thermal paste.
Fan
A fan that grinds, rattles or has stopped needs replacing before it overheats. We fit a new one and test under load.
Hinges
Stiff, loose or broken hinges and mounts pulling out of the case. Fixing them early protects the screen.
Charging
Not charging, or only at an angle? We test the charger, the USB-C or DC jack port and the power circuit to find the fault.
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
The G5 and G6 are Gigabyte’s value gaming laptops, and the U4 is a light everyday laptop. Charging ports, hinges and cooling are the repairs we see most on them.
