Component-Level Laptop Repair

How Much Does It Cost to Fix a Broken Laptop Screen or Charging Port?

Laptops are built for mobility, which unfortunately means they take a lot of physical abuse. Two of the most common hardware failures I see that require component-level laptop repair are cracked screens and broken charging ports (also known as DC power jacks).

When you take a laptop with a broken charging port to a big-box retail store, they will almost always tell you that the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. That is because most standard shops don't do "component-level" repair. Replacing an entire motherboard can easily cost hundreds of dollars, making the repair seem completely unreasonable.

That is where my specialized expertise comes in. Instead of replacing the entire expensive board, I can often disassemble the laptop, safely remove the broken power jack, and solder a brand new one directly onto your existing motherboard. This highly technical repair saves you a massive amount of money and rescues a laptop that other shops would tell you to throw away.

For these types of specific physical repairs, including screen replacements, I provide a clear, flat-rate quote. I will track down the exact replacement part (whether it's for a standard office laptop or a high-end gaming rig) and handle the delicate hardware work so you don't have to.
