The laptop will not turn on
Could be power, battery or storage. We check each and protect your files first.
A laptop that dies the week before a thesis or assignment due date is the worst kind of problem. We repair laptops fast and help protect your work so it does not happen twice.
Bentley has a lot of students and researchers. Their laptops hold thesis chapters, datasets, lecture notes and sometimes the only copy of a semester's work.
When a laptop fails, the stress is not about the hardware. It is the files. The first thing we do is check what can be saved, then work out the repair. If you bring it to us as soon as it fails, the chances are much better.
We also help set up a backup that runs on its own, so the next failure is an inconvenience and not a disaster. Our backup and transfer service covers it.
Book a Laptop Check
The usual causes of a bad week.
Could be power, battery or storage. We check each and protect your files first.
Switch it off and unplug it. Bring it in quickly because speed matters.
Repair costs vary. We quote before ordering and say if it is worth it.
Often memory, a full drive or a bad update. We find which.
We clean the machine and show you what to avoid.
We set up automatic backups so your work lives in more than one place.
The files are usually more important than the machine.
We check what is on the laptop and copy it to a safe drive if the machine is struggling.
Battery, screen, drive or software, with a quote before any parts are ordered.
A simple automatic copy to the cloud or an external drive so you are covered next time.
Study-focused repairs and general support.
Screens, batteries, keyboards, slow drives and startup faults. See laptop repairs.
Quick action after spills improves the chances. See water damage repair.
Protecting thesis files, research data and photos. See data recovery.
Speeding up an older machine before replacing it. See slow computer repair.

Keep your work in three places: the laptop, an external drive and a cloud folder. If one fails, the other two still exist.
Name files clearly and put them in one folder, so you know what to copy. It sounds obvious but saves a lot of panic.
If you are starting a thesis, set up the backup first. It takes ten minutes and could save months.
We tell you the repair cost and whether it is worth doing before you commit.
We assess the laptop and tell you what is wrong and what it would cost.
