Laptop repair issues - what causes them?
We use our laptops for several tasks every day and the convenience of being able to travel with them means they’re often in our bag, going to many places. Even if you just have one sitting at home, over time, the issues above can be caused by any of the following:
- Dropping the laptop from your desk, sofa or bed
- Dust accumulation – this happens even if you aren’t near windows or doors
- Faulty components like RAM chips, circuitry, hard drives and fans
- Hair, dry skin fragments, pet fur (those cute Zoom interruptions have a price!)
- Liquid spills like coffee, water, tea, Coke
Power fluctuations - Software incompatibilities and corruptions from viruses
- Time – most laptops have a usage life of 5 years.
Most of these causes can be mitigated with regular and ad hoc maintenance before they spiral into larger problems.

Laptops can actually get you a lot of mileage if you take regular care of them. A general rule of thumb however is that if a laptop repair costs more than 60% the price of a new laptop, you might want to consider getting a new one, especially if yours is more than five years old. Less than that? it’s probably worth fixing.

Being a resident at Tooronga Village, it is great to have a reliable well priced business where we live! I've had multiple screen covers, phone covers and other equipment with my new phones. Home visits on other technical issues, are a further service too! Thanks Michael and your team! Robyn
Robyn Golder4 September 2023Great service from Michael, who was able to get my water affected samsung working again on the day for a reasonable fee.
Stuart Dent28 August 2023Friendly and great service. I made the mistake of having Buzztime change out the battery instead of me having Apple diagnose the problem first. Buzztime $129 for third party battery. Apple $115 for Apple battery. Kicking myself. So be sure before hand.
