Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most about laptop screen repairs. If yours isn't here, flick us a message and we'll sort it out.

Pricing & Quotes

How much does a laptop screen repair cost?

It depends on your exact model. As a rough guide, standard screens are typically around $250–$350 and touchscreens usually $350–$500, while OLED, high-refresh gaming and MacBook screens cost more. Send us your model and we'll give you an exact price.

How do I get a quote?

Fill in our free quote form with your laptop's full model number (usually on a sticker underneath) or a clear photo of that sticker. A photo of the damage helps too. We'll come back to you with a free, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. Not sure where to look? Here's how to find your laptop model number.

What's included in the price?

Your quote covers the new screen, professional installation, and free pick-up and return anywhere in Australia. No hidden extras.

How long is my quote valid for?

Quotes are valid for 14 days, but we're often happy to honour them for longer. Just reply to your quote email and we'll confirm.

Do you offer discounts?

We keep our pricing competitive for everyone, so we don't offer student discounts. If you've got several laptops to repair at once, ask us about multi-unit pricing.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Most repairs need nothing upfront. If your screen is a special-order part from overseas, we usually ask for a 50% deposit to secure it.

Turnaround Times

How long does a repair take?

For screens in stock, it's typically around 3–4 working days door to door. We recommend allowing up to a week to be safe.

What if my screen needs to be ordered in?

Some screens need to be ordered from overseas, which usually takes around 10–14 days. We'll always let you know upfront in your quote.

Are turnaround times guaranteed?

They're our best estimate. Occasionally delays happen that are outside our control, and we'll keep you updated if anything changes.

Sending Your Laptop

How do I send my laptop to you?

We service all of Australia. Once you accept your quote, we arrange a courier to pick up your laptop and email you a shipping label with simple packing instructions. All you need is a box and a printer for the label.

Do I need to send the charger?

No, just the laptop itself. Please leave the charger and any accessories at home.

Is my laptop insured in transit, and can I track it?

Yes, your laptop is covered for loss or damage in transit, up to $3,000 or the replacement value of your laptop. The cover doesn't include your data, so please back up before sending. We'll email you a tracking number when it's on its way back to you.

Can you return it to a different address?

Yes, no problem. Just let us know before it's sent back.

Can I drop my laptop off instead?

Drop-off may be available in some areas by appointment. Get in touch and we'll let you know what's possible.

Where is my laptop repaired?

We service customers Australia-wide. Where your repair is carried out depends on parts stock and technician availability, so your laptop is always matched with the fastest option.

Your Data & Device

Will I lose my data?

A screen replacement doesn't involve your storage or software. We're only working on the display, and we never wipe or reset your laptop. That said, we can't guarantee your data, as unexpected things can happen to any device, so please back up before sending it in.

Will you reset or wipe my laptop?

No, never. Resetting or reinstalling Windows or macOS isn't part of a screen repair.

Do you need my password?

No. We can test most screens without logging in. For touchscreens and cameras, a temporary PIN helps us test everything fully. If you're happy to share one, text it to us rather than emailing it, and change it once your laptop's home.

Should I back up my laptop first?

Yes, always. A screen repair doesn't touch your data, but things outside anyone's control, like fire or flood, can happen to any device, and our transit cover doesn't include data. A quick backup before sending gives you complete peace of mind.

Other Damage & Repairs

What if it's more than just the screen?

If we find any extra damage, like a cracked lid, hinge or display cable, we'll contact you with options and a price before doing anything outside your quote.

Do you fix anything other than screens?

We specialise in screens, so we don't repair things like USB ports, motherboards or keyboards. We can often quote on screen-related parts such as lids, hinges, bezels and display cables.

What if a screen isn't available for my model?

We'll tell you upfront. Depending on the model, we may be able to order one in from overseas or offer a suitable alternative.

What if my laptop can't be fixed?

If we can't fix it, we return it to you under our no fix, no fee policy. If it can be fixed but the price is different from your original quote, we'll always contact you for your approval first. If you decide not to go ahead at that point, we charge a return and bench fee, usually around $110–$150. We keep it as low as we can.

Warranty & Parts

What warranty do I get?

Your new screen comes with a 1–3 year warranty against defects, depending on the screen manufacturer, and our workmanship is guaranteed. Some manufacturers offer a shorter period, so we'll always confirm your exact warranty at the time of purchase.

What does the warranty cover?

It covers defects in the screen, like lines, pixel faults or the screen stopping working. It doesn't cover new physical damage such as a drop or crack, which is usually an insurance matter. If it does happen, contact us and we'll look after you on price.

Do you use genuine parts?

Most repairs use genuine parts from your laptop's brand. For some models we can also offer a quality compatible option at a lower price. Either way, we match your resolution, refresh rate and touch features.

Will this void my manufacturer's warranty?

In most cases, no. Our screen repair shouldn't affect your laptop's manufacturer warranty.

Brands & Screen Types

Which brands do you repair?

Do you repair MacBooks?

Yes. Some colours and models need parts ordered in, which can take a little longer. We'll let you know in your quote. More on our MacBook screen repairs.

Do you repair Microsoft Surface devices?

Yes. Send us your model and we'll quote it for you. More on Microsoft Surface screen replacements.

Do you repair touchscreens?

Yes. Touchscreens are usually a bonded glass-and-panel unit, which is why they cost a bit more, and we fully test the touch function after fitting. More on touch screen replacement.

Do you repair gaming laptops?

Yes, including MSI, Alienware, Asus ROG/TUF, Acer Predator/Nitro, Lenovo Legion and Gigabyte Aorus. We match high-refresh panels to your exact model.

Do you repair OLED screens?

Yes. OLED panels are very thin and fragile, so they're definitely not a DIY job and tend to cost a little more.

Can I buy the screen and fit it myself?

For some models we offer a supply-only option at a lower price. Ask us when you request your quote.

Payment

When do I pay?

Nothing upfront for most repairs. We invoice you once the repair is done, and your laptop is sent back as soon as payment is received.

How can I pay?

PayID (our preferred method), bank transfer, or card via a secure payment link. There are no surcharges on any payment method, though we do lean towards PayID and bank transfer as they're the simplest for everyone.

Insurance, Business & Schools

Can you help with an insurance claim?

Yes. We can provide an assessment report for your insurer, usually from photos and your serial number. If you go ahead with the repair, the report fee is credited back to you.

Do you work with businesses, schools and government?

Yes. We can add purchase order numbers to invoices, provide PDF quotes for approval, and offer account options for schools and approved organisations.

Do you offer multi-laptop or trade pricing?

Yes. We handle multiple laptops for businesses and schools, and offer trade pricing for computer shops and IT providers. Just ask.
