What we repair

When the problem is on the board

A laptop is not dead just because it will not turn on. Most of the time one circuit or one component has failed, and replacing that is far cheaper than replacing the whole board or the whole laptop.

If liquid got in, do this first
  • Switch it off straight away and do not plug the charger in
  • Do not turn it on "just to check" – that is what burns the board
  • Turn it upside down so the liquid drains away from the board
  • Bring it in as soon as you can. Corrosion spreads for as long as it sits there.
  • No power at all – no lights, no fan, nothing
  • Power light comes on but the screen stays black
  • Starts for a few seconds then shuts off
  • Liquid spilled on the laptop
  • Charging port loose, or charger has to be held at an angle
  • Laptop will not charge even with a known good charger
  • USB ports or keyboard dead after a power surge
  • Burning smell, or a board with visible corrosion

How it works

Diagnosis first, always

1. Tell us what happened

Did it get wet, drop, or just stop one morning? The story tells us where to look.

2. Bring it in

Walk in to the store, or ask us to arrange a pickup for your area.

3. We open & trace the fault

Board out, tested circuit by circuit until we find what actually failed.

4. Quote, repair, test

You get the price and the odds before we repair. Then it runs on test before you collect.

FAQ

Common questions

Laptop dead? WhatsApp us and tell us what happened.

How much does motherboard repair cost?

Board repair starts from RM250. The final price depends on what failed and which components have to be replaced, so we check the board first and quote you before any work starts.

My laptop got wet. What should I do?

Switch it off and do not try to charge it or turn it on to "test" it. Liquid plus power is what kills boards. Bring it in as soon as you can – the sooner it is cleaned, the more of the board survives.

The laptop has no power at all. Is it the board?

Often, but not always. It can also be the charger, the charging port or the battery. We test each part in turn so you are not paying for board work you do not need.

My charging port is loose. Can that be repaired?

Yes. A loose or broken DC jack is one of the most common board jobs. On many models the port is soldered to the board, which is why it needs chip-level work rather than a simple part swap.

Lights come on but the screen stays black. What is that?

It can be the screen, the cable, or the graphics section of the board. We check the display path first, because a screen problem is a far cheaper fix than a board one.

How long does board repair take?

Longer than a part swap, because it is diagnosis first and then component-level work. We give you a timeframe together with the quote.
