Cracked screen, dead battery, or a laptop that just won't cooperate — Microsys repairs laptops of every major brand across Perth, with upfront pricing and a 90-day guarantee.
A broken laptop gets in the way of work, study and everyday life, so Perth customers come to Microsys with all sorts of laptop problems: cracked or damaged screens, batteries that won't hold charge, charging faults, keyboards and trackpads that stop responding, laptops that run hot, laptops that won't turn on at all, and machines that have simply slowed to a crawl.
We diagnose the actual cause before recommending anything, then give you a fixed, upfront price before we start any work — so there are no surprises. Every repair we complete is backed by our 90-day workmanship guarantee, and if we can't fix the problem, you don't pay the labour. That's our no-fix-no-fee promise.
We repair laptops for Perth homes and Perth businesses, both in our workshop and on-site where that's the more practical option. We work across the major brands — HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Microsoft Surface and Apple MacBook — and we explain what's wrong in plain English, not jargon.
If you're dealing with any of these, you're in the right place. We diagnose the real fault first and agree a fixed price before we start.
Cracked or Damaged Laptop Screens
Cracked displays, broken LCD panels, coloured lines, flickering or a screen that's gone completely black — all common, and usually repairable. We check the panel, backlight and cabling first, because the fault isn't always the screen itself, then replace it where a matching part is available for your model.
Laptop Battery & Charging Problems
A battery that won't hold charge, drains fast, or only works while plugged in usually points to the battery, the charger, or the charging port. We diagnose which one is actually at fault before recommending a battery replacement or port repair, so you're not paying for the wrong fix.
Laptop Won't Turn On
No power, no boot, a black screen, or a boot loop can come from a charger fault, a dead battery, a hardware fault or even a software or operating-system issue. Rather than guess, our technicians work through it methodically and give you a clear, fixed quote once the real cause is confirmed.
Keyboard & Trackpad Problems
Broken or sticky keys, a keyboard that's stopped responding, liquid-related damage, or a trackpad that's intermittent or unresponsive all make a laptop frustrating to use. We repair and replace keyboards and trackpads, and can help set up an external keyboard or mouse in the meantime if you need your laptop back sooner.
Laptop Overheating or Running Hot
Dust buildup, blocked vents, a failing fan, dried-out thermal paste or heavy background processes can all cause a laptop to run hot, throttle down or shut off unexpectedly. Overheating is worth investigating rather than ignoring — left unchecked, it can shorten the life of the battery and other internal components.
Liquid & Water Damage
Spilt coffee, water or wine on your laptop? Stop using it, don't try to charge it, and bring it in as soon as you can — the sooner it's cleaned and assessed, the better the chance of saving both the laptop and your files.
Performance issues
Laptop running slow?
A slow laptop can have several different causes, and the right fix depends on which one it actually is.
Sluggish performance is rarely caused by just one thing. Common culprits include too many startup applications, low storage space, insufficient RAM, an ageing or failing hard drive, poor SSD health, malware, Windows problems, or simply too many background applications competing for resources. Older hardware can also reach a point where it genuinely struggles to keep up with modern software.
Because the causes are so different, guessing at a fix rarely works. We diagnose what's actually slowing your laptop down — checking storage health, memory, startup load and for malware — before recommending a solution. Sometimes that's a clean-up, sometimes it's a hardware upgrade.
In many cases, an SSD or memory upgrade can make an older laptop feel noticeably faster again, often for a fraction of the cost of buying a new one. If your laptop is showing its age, our computer upgrades service is worth a look before you write it off.
Whatever the cause turns out to be, we'll explain it clearly and give you a fixed quote before doing any work, so you can decide whether a repair or upgrade makes sense for your laptop.

Two of our most common repairs
Laptop screen & battery replacement
Screens and batteries are the two components most likely to fail on a well-used laptop. Here's how we approach each one.
Screen replacement
We diagnose cracked screens, damaged displays, display faults, flickering and black-screen issues before recommending a replacement. Where the model and a compatible panel are available, we can replace the screen with a properly matched part. Not every model or panel is available for every laptop, so we'll confirm what's possible for yours as part of the quote.
Battery replacement
Batteries that won't hold charge, drain quickly, or cause a laptop to shut down unexpectedly are common as laptops age. We check battery health and confirm whether a replacement is the right fix, then fit a compatible battery where one is available for your model.

Don't replace it — repair it
Why repairing your laptop often makes sense
When a laptop breaks, it's tempting to assume you need a whole new machine. In reality, most laptop faults — cracked screens, dead batteries, failed charging ports, worn keyboards — are straightforward repairs that can get you back up and running for well under the cost of replacing your laptop.
Repairing also keeps everything exactly as you had it: no migrating files, reinstalling programs or relearning a new device. For an older but otherwise capable laptop, a screen or battery replacement, or an SSD and memory upgrade, can add useful extra years of life.
And on the occasions where a repair genuinely doesn't stack up — for example, if the cost approaches the value of an older machine — we'll tell you honestly, so you can make the call with the facts in front of you.
You'll always know the cost before we start. Here's a guide to typical laptop repair pricing with Microsys.
Screen replacement
$150–$350
Most laptop screen replacements fall in this range depending on your model, with the exact fixed price confirmed before we order the part.

From $120
Battery and charging-port repairs to get your laptop portable again, priced upfront after a quick diagnosis.
On-site service
From $120/hr
On-site laptop repairs start from $120 per hour, with additional time charged in 30-minute increments.

Good to know
Is my data safe during a laptop repair?
A fair question, and an important one.
We handle every laptop that comes through our workshop with care, but it's worth understanding that hardware and operating-system repairs can, in some circumstances, involve a degree of risk to stored files. Because of this, we recommend keeping a current backup of anything important on your laptop, just as you would before any computer service.
If your laptop holds valuable data and is showing signs of hardware failure — for example, a drive that's making unusual noises or a laptop that won't boot — let us know before you book. We can discuss data recovery options first, rather than risk further data loss during a repair. Our dedicated data recovery service is available if files have already been lost or a drive has failed.

What our customers say
Cracked my laptop screen the night before a presentation. Microsys replaced it same-day and it looks brand new. Absolute lifesavers.
Rebecca L.Subiaco
My MacBook wouldn't charge and I thought it was done for. Turned out to be the port — fixed in an afternoon for a fair price. Brilliant.
James P.Fremantle
Spilt tea on my laptop and panicked. They cleaned it up, saved all my files and it works perfectly. Honest, fast and friendly.

Servicing all of Perth
We repair laptops for customers right across the Perth metro area. A few of the suburbs we cover:
Answers to the questions Perth customers ask us most. Still not sure? We're happy to help over the phone.
Yes. We start by diagnosing the display properly — checking the panel, backlight, display cable and connections — rather than assuming a replacement is needed. Where your model and a compatible replacement panel are available, we replace the screen, and most screen replacements are completed the same day.
In most cases, yes. We first diagnose whether the issue is the battery itself, the charger, the charging port, or another fault, then replace the battery where a compatible part is available for your model.
Yes. We repair MacBook screens, batteries, keyboards and charging issues, alongside all major Windows laptop brands including HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and MSI.
We take care with every laptop we work on, but hardware and operating-system repairs do carry some inherent risk to stored data, so we recommend keeping a current backup of anything important. If your laptop holds valuable data and is experiencing a hardware failure, let us know before you book so we can discuss data recovery options first.
It depends on the fault, the parts required and the work involved, which is why we diagnose first and give you a fixed, upfront quote before starting anything. On-site laptop repairs start from $120 per hour, with additional time charged in 30-minute increments — view our full laptop repair pricing.
Many common repairs — screens, batteries, charging ports — can be completed the same day. If a part needs to be ordered in, or the fault turns out to be more involved, it can take a little longer. We'll always give you a realistic timeframe once we've diagnosed the problem.
