Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about laptop repair 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 laptop repair 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 — cracked screens are one of our most common Portobello repairs. Most laptops have a single LCD or LED panel that swaps as a unit, usually 24–48 hours once the part arrives. We cover Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MacBook and more, and can collect from anywhere in the EH15 area. If the touchscreen layer or a hinge is also damaged, we'll inspect and quote before any work begins. 30-day labour warranty.
Often, yes. "Won't turn on" can mean anything from a flat battery to a failed motherboard. The most common Portobello callouts: charger or DC-jack faults, failed RAM, corrupted BIOS, or a shorted motherboard component. We start with a non-invasive diagnosis — voltage at the power jack, battery health, any boot signals — then quote before opening the unit. Many "dead" laptops in the EH15 area turn out to be straightforward fixes.
Yes — but speed matters more than the brand. Liquid damage is a corrosion race: minerals in the spill (sugar in soft drinks, salts in tea/coffee with milk) start eating motherboard traces within hours. Power the laptop fully off (not sleep), don't try drying it with rice, and bring it to us as soon as possible. Our process: full strip-down, ultrasonic clean, replace damaged parts. ~70–80% recovery rate within 24 hours.
