How Much Should I Charge For Laptop Repair

How much do average laptop repairs cost?

As someone who has been repairing computers for the past 20 years, I can tell you that the amount you’ll pay can vary a good deal, based on what the problem is, what type of computer, and who does the repair.When it comes to laptop repair, the national chains, and the manufacturers (if out of warranty) charge the most. Repair technicians working out of their homes charge the least, and small, local, independent shops like mine charge somewhere in the middle.Some charge an hourly rate (many techs working from home use that model), while others, like me, charge a flat labor rate. I charge $99, plus cost of parts if needed. If it’s just virus removal, a tuneup, replacement of a cracked screen or installation of a new hard drive, the labor cost is the same. Another local shop near me (with employees and higher overhead) charges $149 for the same work.Experience is one key factor in avoiding a bad repair job that will have to go back to the shop. National chains tend to hire relatively younger, inexperienced techs. Techs working from home are sometimes new, but also sometimes very experienced.That’s another key indicator. It’s important to know what other customers thought of the repair shop you’re considering. Do your homework, and check online reviews. A competent and HONEST technician will stand out, and that’s the place to take it. Some techs may do the repair, even though they know that the cost of the repair is not worth it. A tech with integrity will tell you when the cost of repair exceeds the value of the laptop.Last, but not least, I have found that customers with an older computer often will want to fix the computer, even though they know it’s not worth fixing. Why? Because they didn’t back up the important data! If you’re one of those customers, don’t fret. In about 90 percent of the cases, the data can easily be transferred to a new computer. So go ahead and buy the new computer, and simply have the tech transfer the data for you. And from now on, back up that data!

How much to repair laptop charging circuit?

If you are able to run the laptop on just the charger then the problem is the battery. If you are able to start it on just the battery and not the charger, the problem is the charger. If you can't for neither then you have a power jack problem.

To me, it seems as if you just need a new battery since you are able to run it off the charger unless I read that incorrectly.

You just need to replace what is damaged, not go on a wild goose chase.

If you need a new charger, you can find some online on sites like ebay or amazon. However, I would personally suggest you visit Topmic instead. Topmic is well known for their great services and their durable products. They include free shipping and free lifetime warranty. Yes, lifetime. This means if the charger ever has problems on its own for whatever reason, they would replace it as many times as needed at no additional cost, for life.

This is a great way to save money in the long run and a good investment as well.

In case you needed the link to the charger, I found it for you:

Best of luck.

What is Dell's minimum service charge for laptop repair in Delhi/NCR?

Don't know about DELL.But my HP laptop was not working properly back in 2010, so I took it to HP Service center Noida, near sector 62 and they told just to open it and identify the defect they will charge 500 Rs. I was ok with that sum, but the day after they told the motherboard has got some issues and will need to replace it and will cost 12k for new one. I just left the place and took my faulty laptop.Then I went to Nehru Place, Delhi, there are lot of laptop repair centres, one shop looked decent and they asked I'll have to leave for a week and would charge 1.3k. I asked how come that figure, they told any defect its flat price, no matter they will replace 1 IC or 10 ICs. I left it to them and they gave me a memo listed with main parts with their serial numbers. And also got my signature with permanent marker on main components. After a week I visited the shop and they asked me to check the laptop if its working properly or not, and to my surprise it was working perfectly, and till date it didn't had any issues.So, if your laptop is under warranty check with service centre otherwise go to Nehru Place. Don't remember the shop name, but it was on second floor of 1st entry tower, besides "Computer Empire" shop.

How much does it cost to fix a laptop charger port?

so, I haven't been able to use my laptop for 3 years....

basically, I sat it on my lap a lot. it got to the point where it would only charge when i held the wire in strange positions, and then it stopped charging all together.

the battery is fine, because it still holds a charge, the charger cord was brand new. I read that the power acceptor inside has become loose, and just needs to be sodered back on. i was just wondering how much that would cost, and if it would be worth it.
