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 USB-C or 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
IdeaPad hinges are a common weak point. If the lid feels stiff or the case near the hinge is lifting, get it looked at before the screen is damaged.
