Laptop repairs, upgrades and cleaning made clear

From a stuck hinge to a silent SSD upgrade, scroll through the build to see exactly what our bench can do, layer by layer.

STG 01 / INTAKE

  1. STG 01 / INTAKE

    One scan before anything is opened

    Won't power on, running hot, crawling on boot or showing a cracked panel, start with a free bench diagnosis. We test, isolate the fault and send a clear estimate on WhatsApp before any screw turns.

    ISSUE DETECTED
  2. STG 02 / DISPLAY

    Screens and hinges, fixed without drama

    Flickering lines, dim backlights, cracked panels and loose hinges. We fit original-quality panels and rebuild hinge mounts so the lid opens like it did on day one.

  3. STG 03 / INPUT

    Keyboard and trackpad replacement

    Worn keys, liquid spills or a trackpad that stopped clicking, we separate the deck and replace per-key or full-deck, whichever is honestly cheaper for you.

  4. STG 04 / POWER

    Battery replacement with real hours back

    If your laptop dies before the second meeting, the cells are done. We fit a matched, genuine-grade battery and calibrate it so the percentage you see is the truth.

  5. STG 05 / UPGRADES

    RAM and SSD upgrades while you wait

    The cheapest 'new laptop' is the one you already own. Extra RAM and an NVMe SSD cut boot times from minutes to seconds, your data cloned across safely, privacy-first.

  6. STG 06 / COOLING

    Deep clean, fresh thermal paste, quiet fans

    Dust chokes the fan, paste dries out and the CPU throttles. We strip the cooling path, repaste and rebuild it, cooler, quieter and measurably faster under load.

  7. STG 07 / LOGIC BOARD

    Component-level motherboard repair

    No-power, liquid damage and charging-circuit faults are repaired at component level on our microscope bench, a fraction of the cost of a board swap, with your data untouched.

  8. STG 08 / HANDOVER

    Stress-tested, certified, returned

    Thermals, battery, keyboard matrix, ports and display all pass a final stress test before handover. You get the test report, an invoice and warranty on selected repairs.

// Bench process

How we approach a laptop repair

A laptop fault rarely announces itself honestly, a 'dead battery' is sometimes a charging circuit, a 'slow laptop' is usually a dying hard drive, and that flickering screen could be a cheap cable instead of a costly panel. So before quoting anything, we run a full hardware pass: display and cable, battery health and charge circuit, keyboard matrix, fan RPM and thermals, storage SMART data, RAM stability and port function. The estimate you approve is built on measurements, not assumptions.

We fit panels matched to your laptop's exact resolution, refresh rate and finish, a 120 Hz machine gets a 120 Hz panel, not a cheaper 60 Hz lookalike. Keyboards are model-specific with the correct layout, batteries carry verified capacity ratings, and SSDs come from mainstream brands with manufacturer warranty. Where a genuine part is available, you'll see both genuine and equivalent options priced side by side.

Storage is treated as sacred. Drives are never formatted, swapped or imaged without explicit approval, and for SSD upgrades we clone your existing Windows install, files and settings so you boot into a faster version of the machine you already know. Every repair closes with a stress test, thermals, battery and display, before we mark it ready on WhatsApp.

// What we fix

Common laptop faults on our bench

Spot your symptom below, every job opens with a diagnosis and a clear quote, never with a screwdriver.

Same day

Screen replacement

Cracked panels, vertical lines, dim backlights and flicker. We match resolution, refresh rate and surface finish to your original, and check the display cable first, because sometimes that's all it is.

  • Cracked or bleeding display
  • Vertical/horizontal lines
  • Backlight dead but external monitor works
Same day

Keyboard replacement

Dead keys, repeating letters or liquid-spill damage. We replace the full keyboard module with the correct layout for your model, not glued-on individual keys that fail again in weeks.

  • Some keys not registering
  • Keys repeating or sticking
  • Keyboard dead after a spill
Same day

Battery replacement

Backup down to 40 minutes, or a laptop that dies the moment it's unplugged. We fit a capacity-tested battery and verify the charging circuit, so the new cell isn't killed by the old fault.

  • Shuts down when charger is removed
  • Backup under an hour
  • Battery stuck at 0% or not detected
1–2 days

Hinge & body repair

A cracking hinge gets worse every single time the lid opens, and eventually tears the screen cable with it. We rebuild the hinge mounts, replace broken hinges and reinforce the panel housing.

  • Cracking sound when opening lid
  • Lid won't stay at an angle
  • Visible gap or cracked bezel near hinge
Same day

SSD upgrade

The single biggest speed upgrade an older laptop can get. We move you from a spinning hard drive to a branded SSD and clone everything across, Windows, files, settings, so it boots in seconds, not minutes.

  • Boot takes several minutes
  • Constant 100% disk usage
  • Programs freeze while loading files
Same day

RAM upgrade

Chrome tabs, spreadsheets and video calls eating your machine alive? We check what your board supports, then fit matched modules for genuinely smoother multitasking.

  • Laptop slows with multiple apps open
  • Frequent 'out of memory' freezes
  • Heavy stutter on video calls
Same day

OS installation & setup

Clean Windows installation with drivers, updates and essential software configured, or a tune-up that removes the bloat slowing you down. Data backed up first, always with your approval.

  • Endless update failures
  • Blue screens or corrupt system files
  • New SSD needs a fresh OS
2–4 hours

Fan cleaning & thermal paste

Dust-choked fans and dried thermal paste make laptops throttle, roar and shut down under load. We deep-clean the cooling system and re-paste the CPU/GPU, temperature drops are typically 10–20°C.

  • Fan constantly at full speed
  • Hot keyboard and slowdowns under load
  • Sudden shutdowns while gaming or rendering
1–2 days

Motherboard diagnosis

No power, no display, or random restarts with no pattern, board-level faults need bench diagnosis, not part-swapping guesswork. We trace the fault to the component before quoting a single rupee.

  • Laptop completely dead
  • Power light on but no display
  • Restarts with no error or warning

Why customers trust Zerofix with their laptop

Arjun M.

Dec 2025

Upgraded my old Inspiron to a 512 GB NVMe with full OS migration. Boot time went from over two minutes to about fifteen seconds. They shared the diagnosis report and quote on WhatsApp first, then photos of the install. Felt very transparent.

Mar 2026

My laptop used to sound like a jet engine. After their cleaning and thermal paste service it runs silent, and they sent before/after temperature screenshots, 17 degrees cooler under load. Picked it up the same day.

// LAPTOP REPAIR FAQS

Asked before every booking

  • Completely, screen, keyboard, battery, hinge and fan work never touches your storage. We don't ask for your login password for hardware jobs; you can verify the repair at pickup yourself. Only OS installs and drive work involve your data, and those always start with a backup conversation and your written go-ahead.

  • Nine times out of ten on machines older than three years, the hard drive is the bottleneck, an SSD upgrade makes a bigger difference than double the RAM. Our free diagnosis reads your actual usage: if disk sits at 100% it's the SSD, if memory maxes out it's RAM, and if the CPU itself is the wall we'll honestly tell you an upgrade isn't worth the money.

  • Yes. Gaming machines from MSI, Alienware, Asus ROG and Lenovo Legion are regulars on our bench, high-refresh panel replacements, thermal overhauls and GPU-related board diagnosis included. MacBooks have their own dedicated service line with Apple-specific parts and pricing; see our MacBook repair page for details.

  • Screens, keyboards, batteries, SSD/RAM upgrades and OS installs are typically same-day once you approve the estimate, many finish within 2–4 hours. Hinge rebuilds and motherboard work take 1–2 days because adhesives need curing time and board repairs need proper burn-in testing before we hand the machine back.

  • Replaced parts and our workmanship carry a 30-day Zerofix warranty, if a fitted screen develops lines or a new battery underperforms, we make it right free of charge. Branded SSDs and RAM additionally carry their manufacturer warranty, which runs much longer. Physical damage, liquid spills after the repair, and unrelated faults aren't covered, and every term is written on your WhatsApp invoice.
