MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and more, screens, batteries, keyboards, hinges and board-level repair. All repaired at our Courtice bench.
MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and Microsoft Surface: we fix cracked screens, worn batteries, dead keyboards, loose hinges and charging ports, and we do the board-level work most shops won't: no-power MacBooks, dead motherboards and liquid-damaged logic boards. It's all done in-house at our 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5 store in Courtice.
Screen and battery jobs are usually one to two business days; board-level work runs a little longer, and we text you updates so you're not refreshing your email. If a laptop won't boot, we can often still recover your files. Customers come to the same Courtice bench from Oshawa, Bowmanville and Whitby and across Durham Region, no second location, no mail-out.
Cracked panel, lines, dead pixels, dim or flickering display.
Battery not holding charge, swelling, "service battery" warning on Mac.

No-power MacBooks, dead Dell motherboards, board-level diagnostics.

Told your Mac isn't worth fixing?
Most shops swap parts and write off anything deeper. A no-power MacBook, a liquid-damaged logic board, a dead Dell motherboard. That's usually where a laptop gets written off or mailed to a depot. We do board-level diagnostics and micro-soldering in-house on the Courtice bench, and on board-level work and liquid-damage cleaning the diagnosis is no-fix / no-fee, and on data recovery it's no data, no fee. (Routine screen, battery, keyboard and port jobs are quoted and billed the usual way.)
Board-level and data-recovery work is quoted after the free diagnosis.

Won't boot, overheating, a cracked screen. Describe it and most quotes come back inside 30 minutes during shop hours. Free diagnosis, and nothing starts until you approve the price.

Yes, we replace MacBook Air and Pro screens (Retina, M1, M2, M3). Replacement is a full top-case swap on newer Macs because Apple doesn't sell the panel separately. We confirm the exact part for your model before quoting.
That's macOS telling you the battery has worn past 80% of its original capacity. We can replace the battery in 1–2 days. Comes with a 90-day warranty.
Not necessarily. Power it OFF immediately, do not plug it in, and bring it in as soon as possible. We open it, ultrasonic-clean the board, and assess. We don't quote a repair until we know what survived.
Often yes. We can pull files from most non-encrypted drives even if the laptop won't boot. Our dedicated data recovery and backup service covers Macs and Windows laptops alike. Ask us in store and we'll tell you what's realistically recoverable before any work.
Screen swaps and battery jobs are usually 1–2 days. Board-level work is 2–5 days. We text updates so you're not refreshing your email.
We can often inspect and clean liquid-damaged devices and look for shorted components or corrosion. Liquid damage is never guaranteed and sometimes parts or the entire board must be replaced. We tell you what we find and what your realistic options are.
Usually, yes. Swapping a hard drive for an SSD is the biggest jump. Adding RAM (where the laptop allows it), cleaning out dust, and sorting out software issues help too.
Yes. We work on many Windows laptops as well as Apple MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models. For very old or very new models, we'll let you know what support and parts are realistically available.
Yes, on many laptops we can upgrade storage to faster SSDs and, where supported, increase RAM. On some newer ultra-thin devices and MacBooks certain parts may be soldered, and we'll explain what is or isn't upgradable on your model.
Often this points to a weak battery, charging-circuit issue, or power-management problem. We can test the battery, charger, DC jack, and mainboard to see what's causing it and let you know the best option.
That points away from the battery and toward the power circuitry or motherboard, since the laptop is clearly getting power. We test the charging circuit, DC jack and mainboard to find where the power stops, and come back with a written quote before any work.
Overheating can trip a safety shutdown or, over repeated cycles, damage the board itself. We check the fans, vents and thermal paste first since that's the simplest thing to rule out, then test the battery and motherboard if it still won't power on. Free diagnosis before any quote.
If the diagnosis shows the repair isn't possible or isn't worth the money, we explain why and go over your options. Often we can still get your files off it, and we'll give you straight advice on replacing it or trading it in, without pushing you into something you don't need.
Laptop and MacBook repairs are handled at our Courtice store at 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5. We're one Courtice bench serving customers from Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and across Durham Region: no second location and no mail-out.
