Three ways to hand it in
Pick what fits your day. All three start with the same diagnostic and the same price-first rule.
What breaks on a laptop
Our repair records for June–October 2026 across the five stores hold 488 laptops: 81 MacBooks and 85 Windows laptops came through this store alone. The jobs below are what they came in for, most common first. Whatever the symptom, the diagnostic comes first and you decide after the price.
Dead, a light and nothing more, or it shuts off under load. The charger and battery are tested first; if they are fine the fault is on the board and repaired at component level: 92 board-level repairs in the period. See laptop motherboard repair.
A cracked panel, lines, a dark screen with the backlight gone, or a picture that only shows on an external monitor. The panel is replaced to match the original resolution and finish; most are in stock for common models, the rest are ordered.
An hour of use, a laptop that only runs on the charger, or a trackpad that lifts because the battery underneath has swollen. The battery is replaced and the charging circuit checked. A swollen battery is urgent: stop charging it.
Boot loops, a spinning wheel, malware, a system update that went wrong. The drive is checked first so your files are safe, then the system is repaired or reinstalled and your data moved back.
Dust in the fan and heatsink and dried thermal compound. The cooler is opened and cleaned and the compound renewed; a fan with a worn bearing is replaced. See laptop fan repair.
Liquid damage goes straight to the board for cleaning, see laptop water damage repair. Keyboards and trackpads (30 jobs), a cracked hinge, a drive or RAM upgrade (21) and data recovery are done at the same bench.
Laptop brands we repair
Apple MacBooks were 81 of the 166 laptops this store took in during June–October 2026; HP, Dell, Lenovo and Asus make up most of the Windows side. Every brand gets the same diagnostic and the same price-first rule.
Laptop cleaning and thermal service
Overheating laptop: what we actually do
A laptop pulls air through a heatsink the size of a credit card, and after a couple of years it is packed with dust. Cleaning and thermal work were 41 of our laptop jobs in June–October 2026; on Windows laptops it is the fourth most common job after power faults, software and screens.
- Open and inspect: the bottom cover comes off; we check the fan, the heatsink fins and the board for dust and for signs of a spill.
- Fan and heatsink cleaned: the fan comes out and is cleaned, the fins are cleared, the vents blown through. A fan with a noisy bearing is replaced.
- Thermal compound renewed: the old, dried compound on the processor and graphics chip is removed and fresh compound applied.
- Test under load: the laptop runs a stress test while we watch the fan noise and the temperature before it goes back together.

Three reviews of the Upper East Side store about laptop repairs, quoted as written.
I brought in a laptop and external storage drive that had somehow croaked simultaneously, taking my data with them. The guys at iFix went through the options we had to recover the data and repair the laptop, and after running some diagnostics, they called and made sure I was OK with the (reasonable) prices before proceeding. A couple days later, I had the data back and a new hard drive installed. When I came to pick everything up, the technician came upstairs, explained the setup to me, and patiently answered my questions as though he didn't have a bunch of other repairs to get to, although I'm sure he did. I will continue to use iFix for tech repair and recommend them.
I had problems with my laptop. They listened very carefully, took their time, checked me on the spot, and solved the problem, for which I am very grateful.
I got my laptop fixed, and they were very professional. Moreover, I asked about some accessories for my iPhone to see if they were good or not, and they openly said they didn’t know. I really appreciate their honesty they don’t just try to sell you something, they genuinely provide great service!
Questions people ask
How much does a laptop repair cost?
It depends on the fault and the model, so the price comes after the $75 diagnostic, which is credited to the repair when you approve it. For scale: in June–October 2026 the middle half of the laptop repairs we completed across the five stores cost between $162 and $447, and 81 of 488 owners chose not to proceed after the quote. Nothing is repaired until you approve the price.
Do you repair MacBooks and Chromebooks too?
Yes. MacBooks were 81 of the 166 laptops this store took in during June–October 2026; they have their own page at MacBook repair. Chromebooks and Windows laptops of every brand go through the same bench.
My laptop will not turn on at all. Is it dead?
Usually not. Power faults were the most common laptop job in our records for June–October 2026. The charger and battery are tested first; if they are fine, the fault is on the board and repaired at component level. You hear the price before any work starts.
Will I lose my files?
A screen, battery, keyboard, fan or hinge repair does not touch the drive, so your files stay. A board repair, a drive replacement or a system reinstall can. Tell us at intake if the data matters more than the repair; we back it up first or recover it as a separate, quoted job.
How long does a laptop repair take?
The median time from drop-off to pickup on laptop repairs at this store was 3 days in June–October 2026, with the $75 diagnostic first and the repair after you approve the price. A screen or part that has to be ordered adds shipping time; we tell you at the quote.
I am outside New York. Can I mail my laptop?
Yes. Pack it with padding on all sides, include the charger, and send it with tracking. We diagnose, text you the price, repair after you approve, and ship it back. See mail-in repair.
