Typical laptop jobs at our counter include a cracked display on a student MacBook, a battery that won’t last a lecture, a fan that sounds like a jet engine, or a keyboard with dead keys after a coffee spill. At FoneTech Aberdeen we diagnose first, then give you a fixed price.
Our Expertise
We repair Windows laptops and Apple MacBooks from most major makers, including HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Samsung and Toshiba. Whether it’s a hardware fault or a slow, cluttered machine that needs sorting, we’ll diagnose it first and explain what’s needed. We fit high-quality replacement parts and, where possible, OEM ones, and we’ll tell you which is available for your laptop when we quote.
From cracked screens and dying batteries to sticky keyboards, slow performance and the dreaded “won’t turn on”, most laptop faults are ones we see every week. We’ll diagnose the problem first, explain what’s needed, and agree a price with you before starting. Straightforward jobs are often done the same day; board-level work takes longer (more on that below).
A cracked or flickering laptop display, or lines across the screen? We replace the panel with a new one to match your model. Sometimes a “screen” fault is actually the cable or the board, so we test first to find the real cause.
If your laptop only runs while plugged in, or the battery drops fast, a replacement brings back proper unplugged use. We fit a new battery suited to your model and check the charging side too.
Sticky, missing or unresponsive keys make a laptop a pain to use. We clean or replace the keyboard so typing feels right again. Spills are a common cause, so we’ll check for liquid damage as well.
Laptop won’t turn on, no power light, or shutting down on its own? These faults often sit on the board. This is detailed work, so board-level repairs take at least five working days and carry a one-month warranty on the work.
Spilled a drink or caught in the rain? Switch it off, unplug it and don’t turn it on. Bring it in quickly and we’ll clean off the corrosion and see what can be saved. We can’t promise a fix, and we’ll be straight with you about that.
A slow laptop isn’t always past it. We remove viruses, clear out clutter and can fit an SSD or extra memory to give an older machine a real lift, often for far less than a new one.
Pop into our shop in St George’s Shopping Centre on Fishergate, any day of the week, and we’ll take a proper look at your laptop. We’ll explain what’s wrong and agree a price with you before we start.
