Laptop Motherboard Repair

Illustration of a laptop motherboard with a highlighted chip

When a laptop won’t switch on, shows no picture, or keeps restarting, the fault is often on the motherboard. Instead of replacing the whole board, we trace the fault to the failed component and repair it, which usually costs far less.

Board faults we repair

  • No power, no lights, no fan
  • Powers on but no display
  • Charging circuit and power rail faults
  • Graphics chip (GPU) and video faults
  • BIOS corruption and failed BIOS updates
  • Short circuits after liquid damage

How we work

We use schematics, a bench power supply and a thermal camera to find the fault. You get a clear explanation and a price before we carry out the repair. If a board isn’t worth repairing, we say so and can recover your data instead.

Questions we get asked

Is board repair worth it on an older laptop?

Often it is, because it costs much less than a new laptop. We will tell you honestly if the repair costs more than the laptop is worth.

Do you repair gaming laptops?

Yes. See gaming laptop repair.
