When a laptop won’t power on, won’t charge or shows nothing on screen, the fault is often on the motherboard. Many shops will only offer to swap the whole board, which can cost more than the laptop is worth. We repair boards at component level, replacing the individual part that has failed.
Common faults
- No power at all, or the charging light comes on but nothing else happens
- Laptop not charging, or only charging with the battery removed
- Liquid spill causing corrosion and short circuits
- Fan spins but there’s no display or image
- Shuts down under load or when warm
- USB, HDMI or charging ports damaged inside the case
What we do
We start by finding exactly where the fault is. That means testing the power circuits, measuring the board’s voltages and tracing shorts, instead of guessing. Typical repairs include:
- Replacing failed power chips, MOSFETs, capacitors and fuses
- Cleaning and repairing liquid damage
- Repairing DC power jacks and charging circuits
- Replacing damaged ports and connectors
- Fixing broken tracks and burnt areas of the board
Every laptop starts with a £45 + VAT assessment. We then give you a fixed quote, and nothing is done until you agree. Repairs come with a 90-day parts and labour warranty.
Brands and models
We work on boards from all the main manufacturers, including Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, Dynabook and Toshiba. For Apple laptops, see our MacBook logic board repair page. Older and less common brands are welcome too. Find your laptop on our laptop repairs page.
FAQs
Will I lose my files?
Board repairs don’t normally touch your storage. If your files matter, tell us and we’ll keep the drive safe. If the board can’t be saved, we can usually still recover the data.
Is it worth repairing an older laptop?
Often, yes. A component-level repair usually costs far less than a new board or a new laptop. Our fixed quote lets you decide before spending anything more.
I spilled a drink on it. What should I do?
Turn it off straight away, unplug the charger and don’t try to switch it back on. The sooner we see it, the less corrosion there is to deal with.
