Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about battery replacement in Portobello, Edinburgh.
Every laptop job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your laptop. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most battery replacement jobs in Portobello are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH15 — Portobello High Street, the Promenade, Bath Street — and keep you updated by message until the laptop is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH15 postcode area. That includes Portobello High Street, the Promenade, Bath Street, the Promenade, Joppa, Brighton Place, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major laptop brand in Portobello: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more. Business-grade machines like Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude/XPS, and HP EliteBook/ProBook are also fully covered. If you're not sure whether your model is supported, just send us a message — almost all are.
Yes — we only fit OEM or OEM-grade replacement batteries for Portobello customers, with proper UK safety certifications and BMS (battery management system) compatibility. Cheap unbranded eBay batteries are exactly what cause the swelling and overheating stories you read about. Our suppliers have safety datasheets, traceable cell origins, and the correct firmware-handshake to work with the laptop's charging controller. 12-month manufacturer warranty as standard.
Yes — but treat it as urgent. A swollen battery means the cells are venting gas internally and the chemistry has destabilised; left alone, it can puncture or catch fire. Don't try to remove it yourself if it's bulging — the metal casing can spark. For Portobello customers we'll collect or accept drop-off, replace the swollen pack with an OEM-grade battery, and dispose of the old cell properly under WEEE regulations.
Yes — both. CMOS battery replacements (the small CR2032 coin cell on the motherboard) are often-overlooked but cause symptoms like "BIOS time wrong every reboot" or "system asks for boot order on every start". UPS battery replacements (Eaton, APC, CyberPower units) we also handle for Portobello businesses — usually a 1-2 hour job on-site. Both come with warranty and are quoted up front.
