Services

Everything your laptop throws at us

Nine common problems, from the cosmetic to the critical. Each starts with a diagnostic, so you understand what's wrong and the likely next steps.

S-01

Screen replacement

Cracked, flickering, or completely dark. We fit panels matched to your model and test them before you pick the laptop up.

S-02

Battery replacement

Swollen, drained, or no longer holding a charge. We replace the battery and verify the new one under load.

S-03

Keyboard & trackpad repair

Stuck keys, missing keycaps, and unresponsive trackpads fixed or replaced — including water-damage cleanup.

S-04

SSD & storage upgrades

Swap a slow mechanical drive for a solid-state drive and watch boot times drop. We clone your files and settings over where possible.

S-05

Virus & malware removal

Pop-ups, lock screens, and 'infected' warnings. We remove the infection, close the entry point, and verify the machine is clean.

S-06

Data recovery

Failing drives, deleted files, unreadable sticks. We assess the media first and give you an honest read on what's recoverable.

S-07

Hardware diagnostics

A full check of display, battery, drive, fans, and board — so you know exactly what is failing before you commit to a repair.

S-08

OS reinstall & setup

A clean operating-system install with drivers, updates, and your files restored — the fastest cure for a machine that has simply fallen apart.

S-09

Performance optimization

Startup bloat, overheating, and storage clutter cleared out, with thermal-paste and fan service when the heat is the problem.

Process

How a repair works

Four steps, no surprises. You know what's wrong, what it costs, and what happens next at every point.

  1. Bring it in or call

    Drop the laptop at 814 Elm St, or call 603-645-0101 and describe the symptoms first.

  2. We diagnose

    A full hardware check tells us exactly what's failing — screen, battery, drive, board, or software.

  3. You approve

    You get a clear estimate and a timeline. Nothing is ordered until you say go.

  4. We repair and test

    Parts go in, the system is stress-tested, and the laptop goes home ready for work.

FAQ

Straight answers to common questions

Do I need to back up my files before a repair?

Yes. We always recommend keeping a current backup of your important data, ideally before your computer ever needs repair. In some cases, the problem that caused your computer to need service may have already damaged or put your data at risk.

While we take care to protect your files during the repair process, unexpected issues can occur. If you don’t have a current backup, we can create an image of your drive before beginning any repair work for $49.95. Provided the drive and file system are in good condition, this gives us a copy of your data as it existed when the computer was brought in.

For the best protection, however, nothing replaces having a current backup in place before a problem occurs.

What laptop brands and models do you repair?

Most consumer and business laptops that come in. If we can't service your machine, or it isn't worth repairing, we'll tell you honestly before you commit.

Can you really get my files back?

When the hardware allows it, yes. Data recovery starts with a careful assessment of the drive or board, and you get a straight answer about what's recoverable before any work begins.

Do you install upgrades like SSDs?

Yes — swapping a slow mechanical drive for a solid-state drive is one of our most common upgrades, and we can usually clone your existing files and settings over in the process.

How long does a typical repair take?

It depends on the fault and whether parts need to be ordered. We give you a timeline with your estimate, and you can call 603-645-0101 for status checks.

What if the laptop isn't worth fixing?

We'll say so. You get an honest cost-versus-replacement answer, and your hardware comes back with you either way.
