From sluggish laptops and virus-ridden desktops to cracked screens and failing hard drives, our experienced technicians diagnose and fix a wide range of computer problems quickly and professionally.

Common PC and Laptop Problems We Fix in Leith
The same issues crop up time and time again from our Leith customers. Whether it's a laptop that refuses to turn on, a desktop grinding to a halt mid-task, or a screen that's gone completely blank — we've almost certainly fixed it before. Common problems we deal with every week include:
- Slow or unresponsive computers — taking ages to boot, freezing during use, or struggling with everyday tasks
- Virus and malware infections — unexpected pop-ups, redirected browsers, sluggish performance caused by hidden threats
- Cracked or blank laptop screens — physical damage, backlight failure, or a loose display cable
- Failing or failed hard drives — clicking noises, slow file access, or a PC that won't start
- Battery and charging faults — laptops that die quickly, won't charge, or only work when plugged in
- Blue screens and crash errors — BSOD errors, unexpected restarts, or Windows refusing to load
- Wi-Fi and networking issues — dropped connections, slow speeds, or a device that can't find any networks
- Data loss and accidental deletion — retrieving files from damaged, formatted, or corrupted drives
Not sure what's wrong? Don't worry — we offer a full diagnostic service and will always explain the issue in plain English before any work begins.
Why Choose a Local PC Repair Service in Leith?
Posting your laptop to a national repair chain means days or even weeks without your device — and no way of knowing who's actually working on it or what condition it will come back in. As an Edinburgh-based business, we offer something impersonal chains simply can't match: a fast turnaround, a genuinely personal service, and the ability to speak directly to the technician handling your repair.
We understand how disruptive it is to be without your computer, whether you work from home in Leith, use your PC for studying, or rely on it to run your small business. That's why we aim to have most repairs completed within 24–48 hours, with many straightforward jobs turned around on the same day.
Our Most Popular Repairs for Leith Residents
Virus & Malware Removal
If your PC is running slowly, showing unexpected pop-ups, or behaving in ways you can't explain, it may be infected with malware. Our virus and malware removal service includes a thorough deep-clean of your system, complete removal of all detected threats, and practical advice to help prevent future infections. We also check for any data that may have been exposed.
RAM & SSD Upgrades
One of the most cost-effective ways to breathe new life into an older machine is a RAM or SSD upgrade. Moving from a traditional spinning hard drive to a solid-state drive alone can cut boot times dramatically and make everyday computing feel far more responsive. Our hardware upgrade service covers RAM, SSD, and GPU upgrades with parts sourced to suit your budget.
Laptop Screen Replacement
A cracked, flickering, or completely dead screen is one of the most common laptop faults we see. We carry stock of screens for many popular models and can often complete a replacement the same day. Read more about our screen replacement service.
Data Recovery
Whether you've accidentally deleted important files, your hard drive has stopped working, or your PC won't even start, our data recovery service can help retrieve documents, photos, and other valuable data. We handle everything from simple accidental deletions to more complex drive failures and corrupted file systems.
Laptop Battery Replacement
If your laptop dies within minutes of unplugging or won't hold a charge at all, a battery replacement is often a straightforward, affordable fix that can give your device several more years of useful life — saving you the cost of a brand new machine.
Is Your PC Running Slowly in Leith?
A slow computer is one of the most common complaints we hear. Before assuming you need a new machine, it's well worth getting a professional diagnosis. More often than not, a combination of malware removal, an SSD upgrade, or a clean Windows reinstallation can completely transform an old, sluggish computer into something that feels practically brand new.
Our guide to speeding up a slow Windows PC covers some of the steps you can try yourself at home — but if you'd rather hand it over to a professional, we're happy to take a look and give you an honest assessment of what's worth doing.
