If your laptop dies the moment you unplug it, or the battery barely lasts an hour, it may be time for a new one. We test the battery and the charger, then quote before any work starts.
The laptop only works while plugged in, or the percentage drops quickly after you unplug it.
The laptop switches off at 30 or 40 percent instead of running to empty.
Windows and macOS both warn when a battery needs servicing. Messages such as Service Recommended are worth acting on.
If the trackpad is lifting or the case no longer sits flat, stop using the laptop and bring it in.
We check the battery and the charger, so you know which one is the problem.
You hear the price before we start. Looking at the laptop is free.
We fit the new battery and confirm the laptop charges and runs on it.
