Frequently asked questions

How much does laptop repair cost in Houston?

Laptop repair at Houston Computer Repair Experts starts at $79. Screen replacements typically run $99-$249 depending on panel type and model. Power jack repairs are $89-$149. SSD upgrades start at $49 plus the drive. Every repair includes a free diagnostic — you know the exact cost before we start. No fix, no fee.

My laptop has a blue screen — can you fix it?

Yes. Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors are one of our most common repairs. Causes include failing hard drives, bad RAM, driver conflicts, corrupted Windows files, and overheating. We run diagnostics to identify the exact cause and fix it — whether that's replacing a failing drive, reseating RAM, reinstalling drivers, or performing a clean Windows install. We give you a clear timeline after the free diagnostic.

Can you fix a laptop that won't turn on?

Yes. We diagnose no-power laptops daily. Common causes include failed power jacks (the charging port), dead batteries, shorted motherboards, faulty power adapters, and blown capacitors. We test the entire power path to find the exact failure. Free diagnostic — if we can't fix it, you don't pay.

My laptop is overheating and shutting down — is this serious?

Yes — get it repaired immediately. A laptop that overheats and shuts down is protecting itself from permanent damage. Continued use can kill the CPU or motherboard permanently. Common causes: dust-clogged fans, dried thermal paste, failed fans, and blocked vents. Houston Computer Repair Experts cleans the cooling system, replaces thermal paste, and repairs or replaces fans. We give you a clear timeline after the free diagnostic.

How much does a laptop screen replacement cost in Houston?

Laptop screen replacement at Houston Computer Repair Experts typically costs $99-$249 depending on the brand, model, and panel type (standard LCD, IPS, touchscreen, high-refresh). We stock common panels for HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Asus models. If your specific panel needs to be ordered, it usually arrives in 1-2 business days. The replacement itself takes 30-60 minutes.

Can you upgrade my laptop to an SSD?

Yes. An SSD upgrade is the single biggest performance improvement for any Windows laptop. If your laptop has a traditional hard drive, upgrading to an SSD makes it boot in seconds instead of minutes. Programs open instantly. Files copy fast. SSD upgrades start at $49 for labor plus the cost of the drive ($50-$120 for most sizes). We clone your existing data so you don't lose anything.

How much does a RAM upgrade cost?

RAM upgrades at Houston Computer Repair Experts start at $39 for labor plus the cost of the memory module. 8GB upgrades typically cost $25-$40 for the part. 16GB costs $40-$70. We check your specific laptop model to confirm compatibility and maximum supported RAM. Most RAM upgrades are completed in under 30 minutes while you wait.

Can you fix a broken laptop keyboard?

Yes. We replace laptop keyboards for all major brands — HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and more. Whether you have broken keys, non-functioning keys, or liquid damage under the keyboard, we swap the entire keyboard assembly with a new one. Turnaround depends on parts availability — we give you a clear timeline upfront.

Can you fix a broken laptop hinge?

Yes. Broken, loose, or cracked laptop hinges are a common repair. If left unrepaired, broken hinges can damage the display cable, crack the screen, or break the laptop case. We replace the hinge assemblies and repair any case damage. Turnaround depends on parts availability — we give you a clear timeline upfront.

Do you repair gaming laptops?

Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts repairs gaming laptops from Asus ROG, MSI, Razer, Alienware, Lenovo Legion, and HP Omen. Common repairs include GPU thermal paste reapplication, high-refresh screen replacement, keyboard replacement, power jack repair, and cooling system overhaul. We also upgrade RAM, SSD, and repaste thermal compounds for better gaming performance.

Is it worth repairing an old Windows laptop?

Often yes. A $49 SSD upgrade and $39 RAM upgrade can make a 5-year-old Windows laptop fast again for under $150 total. A $300 motherboard repair on a laptop worth $150 probably isn't worth it. We give you an honest assessment — the repair cost, the machine's current value, and whether it makes financial sense. We don't sell repairs you don't need.
