PC Repair Services in St Andrews
Computer and laptop repair for St Andrews students, staff and residents, by appointment from our Edinburgh workshop
Computer repair for St Andrews
St Andrews is about 52 miles from our workshop, over the Queensferry Crossing and across Fife, so it is in our extended area. Repairs are arranged ahead: collection and return by arrangement, posted repairs, visits by appointment with a travel fee, and remote help for software problems.
With the University in town, many of the laptops we see from St Andrews were bought somewhere else in the world. That brings its own problems: a keyboard layout that does not match what is printed on the keys, Windows set up in another language, a charger with the wrong plug, or a warranty that only works in the country of purchase. We fix the settings, find the right parts and repair what the overseas warranty will not cover.
We cover KY16, from South Street, North Street and Market Street to the Scores, Hepburn Gardens and the Lade Braes, for students, University staff and residents alike. Hardware repairs are done at the workshop, where many are finished the same day; if a part is needed, we tell you the timescale first.
In St Andrews: help with laptops bought abroad, collection and posted repairs, visits by appointment with a travel fee, and remote help for software faults.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from customers in St Andrews.
Yes. St Andrews is about 52 miles from our Edinburgh workshop, so we work mainly by collection, post and remote help, with visits by appointment and a travel fee.
Usually, yes. Screens, batteries, keyboards and charging faults can be repaired on most models, and we tell you if a part has to be sourced and how long that will take.
Probably not. It is usually the keyboard layout setting in Windows not matching the physical keys. We fix the setting remotely in a few minutes.
Most laptop chargers work on UK mains with the right plug adapter or cable, but check the label first. If the charger has failed, we find a safe replacement with a UK plug.
Many repairs are done the day the laptop arrives, plus the time to get it to us and back. If a part is needed, we give you the timescale first, and we can save your files before any work starts.
