Clear repair guidance
What this page helps you decide
Some older URLs from the website were still known by Google and by customers. In V32 these pages have been rebuilt as proper customer-facing pages instead of thin placeholders. Each page now explains the real repair path, links to the correct main service page, and keeps the customer experience consistent with the rest of the Fix My Gadget website.
Fix My Gadget works from 32 Murray Rd, Kibler Park, Johannesburg South. The process is simple: send the model and symptom, book drop-off or paid pickup, approve the quote, then collect once the repair is tested. No repair is started without approval.
Laptop repair clarity
Symptoms that need proper laptop diagnostics
A laptop fault can look simple from outside, but screen, charging, keyboard, hinge, SSD and motherboard issues often overlap.
Cracked or black screen
The panel, cable, connector or board output must be separated before ordering a screen.
Charging only at an angle
The charger, DC jack or USB-C circuit may be responsible; guessing can waste money.
Slow or freezing laptop
An SSD, RAM or Windows repair may be more valuable than replacing the entire laptop.
Quote-first service
Repair cost depends on model and fault, not guesswork
The safest repair path is inspection first, quotation second, repair third.
| Situation | Likely route | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Screen fault | Model check and panel quote | Different laptops use different connectors, sizes and refresh rates. |
| Battery/charging fault | Battery, charger and port test | The visible symptom does not always show the actual failed part. |
| Hinge/base damage | Structural repair quote | Glue is not a professional hinge repair and can damage the casing further. |
| Motherboard fault | Board-level diagnostic | No power, no display and shutdown faults need deeper testing. |
