Laptop hardware repairs in Farringdon
The physical faults that bring laptops to our EC1 bench most often:
Laptop screen replacement Farringdon
Screens get crushed in rucksacks, caught in train doors and closed on a stray pen. We replace cracked, dim, flickering or blank panels with a panel that matches the original — resolution, refresh rate and touch included. Twelve months’ cover; see screen repair in Farringdon for more on display faults.
Laptop battery replacement Farringdon
A laptop that needs the charger after half an hour isn’t much use in a meeting room. A swollen battery — lifting the keyboard or splitting the case — is a safety issue, so switch it off and bring it in straight away. Twelve months’ cover; more at battery replacement Farringdon.
SSD upgrades and failing drives
Clicking noises, start-ups that take minutes and files that crawl open usually mean a tired hard drive. We fit a replacement, or better still solid-state NVMe storage, then migrate Windows and your documents so everything is where you left it. On an older machine, nothing speeds it up more. One-year warranty.
Keyboards and palm rests
Coffee in the keys, letters that no longer type or a cracked palm rest are fixed with a keyboard assembly made for your model, including per-key RGB boards on gaming laptops. Covered for a year.
Charging ports
Round-pin or USB-C, a wobbly or dead power socket leaves a laptop as useless as a smashed screen does. We repair or replace the port so it charges reliably again, with twelve months’ cover.
Overheating and loud fans
Hot on your lap, fans roaring and everything slowing as it warms up? Dust and dried thermal paste are usually behind it. We take the cooling system apart, clean it thoroughly and apply new paste, so the machine runs cooler and quieter. One-year warranty.
Laptop brands we repair in Farringdon
Business, everyday and gaming machines from every major maker:
Something else? Where replacement parts exist, we can normally help. For desktops, see computer repair Farringdon, and the service at every branch is on our national laptop repair page.
Gaming laptop repair in Farringdon
A gaming laptop runs its processor and graphics chip at full tilt inside a slim case, so heat is its biggest enemy. Two or three years in, the paste between chips and heatsinks has baked dry, the machine throttles itself and your frame rate drops. A can of compressed air won’t cure that. We strip the laptop right down, clean each fan and heatsink, and re-apply quality thermal paste to both chips.
Screens matter just as much. A high-refresh laptop loses what you paid for if it gets a slower replacement panel, so we match the refresh rate exactly and source the right backlit keyboards and high-power chargers for Alienware, Razer, Legion, ROG and similar machines.
Virus removal, data recovery and Windows problems
Windows reinstall
A botched update or years of accumulated junk can leave Windows sluggish and unstable. Starting again on Windows 10 or 11 with the latest drivers usually cures it — we’ll agree a backup plan with you beforehand.
Virus and malware removal
Unexpected adverts, a search engine you never chose, or a laptop you’d hesitate to use for banking. The infection is removed, dependable protection installed and you’ll get tips to keep it clean.
Diagnostics and drivers
Random crashes, disappearing devices or unexplained slowdowns. Careful testing separates software problems from failing hardware, and drivers are updated and the system tuned.
Data recovery
Client documents, coursework or years of photos stuck on a laptop that won’t boot. We examine the drive before anything else and tell you plainly what can be retrieved before you commit.
How much does laptop repair cost in Farringdon?
Replacing a ThinkPad cell, fitting a high-refresh gaming panel and recovering lost files are very different jobs, so there’s no standard price list. We look at the machine, give you one figure and only start once you’ve approved it — that’s what you pay at collection.

The right fix first time — not a pop-up job
Symptoms mislead. What looks like a worn-out battery may be a power circuit fault; a laptop that seems to have a dying disk may just be infected; a blank display is sometimes nothing more than a loose connector. We test before we touch anything, so you pay for the real problem. Before any laptop goes back, we test the display, keyboard, storage, temperatures and charging.
Our Farringdon shop is part of CrC Repair®, with ten stores nationwide, laptop technicians on the bench every day and a written guarantee on each job. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
