Common repairs
Screen
Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens. We fit a matching panel and test it for dead pixels, brightness and colour.
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.
Spills
The keyboard copes with a small splash, but liquid underneath still corrodes the board. Switch off and bring it in quickly.
TrackPoint and trackpad
An erratic cursor or dead click buttons are usually fixed with a new keyboard or trackpad assembly.
Charging
Not charging, or only at an angle? We test the charger, the USB-C port and the power circuit to find the fault.
Motherboard
No power, no picture or random shutdowns often come down to one failed part. Board-level repair costs far less than a new board.
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
T-series ThinkPads are designed to be repaired. Keyboards, SSDs and batteries are all replaceable, which makes them one of the most cost-effective laptops to keep running.
Questions
Is it worth repairing my Lenovo ThinkPad T480s?
Usually, yes. Business laptops are designed to be serviced and parts are easy to find.
Will my files be safe?
Most repairs do not touch your storage, but back up anything important if you can. If it will not start, tell us and we will take extra care.
How long will it take?
Many repairs are done the same day when the part is in stock. If we need to order a part, we give you a date when you drop it off.
How do I find my exact model?
Check the label underneath, or search for “System Information” on the computer. Or bring it in and we will check.
