Hardware Upgrades. By Repair Specialists.

RAM, SSD, thermal paste, battery refresh. Free diagnostic, fixed-price quote in 24h, OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, 12-month warranty.

More about Hardware Upgrades

The cheapest way to make an older laptop feel new is usually an SSD and a RAM upgrade. We fit faster storage, more memory, fresh thermal paste and replacement batteries, and clone your existing system across so you don’t lose anything or have to reinstall.

Most upgrades are same-day, with a 12-month warranty on the parts we fit — and we’ll tell you honestly if your machine is worth upgrading before you spend.

"MacBook Pro 14" screen replaced in 3 hours flat. Arash quoted me over WhatsApp, DPD picked it up from my office, came back with a genuine panel. £289 vs Apple's £629 quote."

"Board-level repair on a Dell XPS that every other shop told me was dead. Two days, invoice itemised to the IC. Good shop."

"Liquid damage — spilled tea on a ThinkPad with three years of unsaved research. Full strip, ultrasonic, recovered everything. No fix, no fee isn't a marketing line here."

Questions we hear a lot.

Q.01 What does “no fix, no fee” actually mean? +
You pay £0 if we can't repair your device. No diagnostic fee, no inspection fee, no return-shipping fee. If you accept our quote and we can't finish the job, you owe nothing. We've honoured this on 14,000+ repairs since 2004.
Q.02 How does the free DPD collection work? +
Book online, print a prepaid label (or we send one by post), DPD picks up from any UK address next working day. We diagnose within 24 hours and send a fixed-price quote by WhatsApp or email. Approve it — or don't — and we ship back, also free.
Q.03 Why does your 12-month warranty matter? +
Because we source panels and parts directly and stock 800+ at a time, we can afford to stand behind every repair for a full year. Coverage includes every mode of failure we've historically seen: backlight, digitiser, pressure marks, delamination, BMS, charging IC.
Q.04 Do you use genuine parts? +
Where possible, yes. For Apple and premium-brand screens we use OEM or OEM-equivalent panels from the same Foxconn/LG lines. For batteries we use manufacturer-spec cells. We'll always tell you on the quote what grade the part is, and the price reflects it.
Q.05 Can you fix water damage on a MacBook that won't turn on? +
Usually. Liquid damage is a board-level job — we strip the machine to components, ultrasonic-clean in an industrial bath, inspect under microscope, and replace any corroded ICs. Success rate runs about 99% if the device has been powered down within 6 hours of the spill.
Q.06 Is the 30% student discount on everything? +
Yes — labour and parts. Valid NUS, TOTUM, or university email. Stackable with our price-match guarantee. Average student save is £62.
