Laptop repairs we handle in Bournemouth

Diagnosis first, then an agreed price:

Laptop screen repair Bournemouth

Cracked, flickering, dim or dark — we match the panel to your model’s resolution and connector. See screen repair Bournemouth.

Laptop battery replacement

Only runs plugged in, drains fast, or has swollen and lifted the trackpad. More on battery replacement Bournemouth.

HDD and SSD replacement

A dying drive means sluggish start-ups and random crashes. Moving an ageing machine onto solid-state storage makes a huge difference, and we transfer your files for you.

Charging port and power jack

Charging only at an angle, or not at all. On many laptops the jack is soldered to the board, so it needs careful work.

Keyboard and palmrest

Spilt drinks are the usual culprit behind sticky or dead keys. We fit the correct keyboard for your model, backlit where the original was.

Cleaning, Windows and data

Dust-choked fans, fresh thermal paste, clean Windows reinstalls, malware removal and data recovery from failing drives.

Gaming laptop repair in Bournemouth

Gaming laptops run harder and hotter, and pack their parts more densely, than everyday machines. We regularly repair Asus ROG and TUF, Lenovo Legion, Razer Blade, Acer Predator and Nitro, MSI Raider, Stealth, Katana and Cyborg, HP Omen and Dell Alienware.

Typical jobs: renewing dried thermal paste and deep-cleaning heatsinks to stop throttling; replacing 144Hz, 165Hz, 240Hz or 360Hz panels with exact-spec parts; diagnosing GPU and motherboard crashes; and fitting brand-specific RGB keyboards.

Laptops repaired by specialists — not a pop-up job

Laptop repair asks more than phone repair: tiny screws of different lengths, fragile ribbon connectors, varied designs across every brand. We follow each manufacturer’s disassembly and don’t guess at diagnoses or sell upgrades you don’t need.

Pocket Geek Bournemouth is one of CrC Repair®’s ten stores, repairing devices since 2004. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Every machine is stress-tested and checked before collection. See high-quality repairs.

Laptop repair Bournemouth — FAQs

How long does a laptop repair take in Bournemouth?
With parts to hand, a battery, keyboard, SSD fit or Windows install is usually turned round inside a day. Rarer screens, motherboard problems and file recovery run longer — you’ll hear the expected timescale before we begin.

Do you repair gaming laptops?
Yes, and we treat them as specialist work. Alienware, Razer Blade, Legion, Omen, Predator and Nitro, ROG and TUF, and MSI rigs all pass through our workshop — from high-refresh panels to thermal renewals and RGB keyboards.

Will a replacement screen keep my 165Hz or 240Hz refresh rate?
Yes, as long as the panel matches the original specification, which is what we source. Fitting a generic 60Hz screen to a high-refresh gaming laptop would waste what you paid for.

My laptop has become painfully slow — what can you do?
A dust-out with new thermal paste, a solid-state drive replacing the spinning disk, or a clean copy of Windows frequently brings it back to life. We’ll diagnose first and recommend only what makes a difference.

Can you recover files from a laptop that won’t boot?
In many cases, yes, provided the drive hasn’t failed completely. We’ll assess it and tell you honestly what’s recoverable and what it will cost before we start.

Will you buy my old laptop?
Yes — bring it in for a valuation and payment on the day, or use it towards a refurbished machine. See we buy your devices.

What’s the warranty on laptop repairs?
One year on all laptop repairs, including screens, batteries, drives, ports, keyboards, cleaning and software work. Details on the warranty page.
