A laptop is harder to be without than most things people own, and the usual repair experience is handing it across a counter and waiting for a call. A technician comes to your address instead, finds out what is actually wrong, and tells you what fixing it will cost before opening anything. Where a fault genuinely needs a workbench — a board-level repair, recovery from a failed drive — we say so during the visit rather than starting something that cannot be finished on your table.
Includes the technician doorstep visit, a basic diagnosis, an issue assessment, and a repair estimate before any additional chargeable work.
This is the visit fee, not the price of the repair. Repair labour may be extra after your approval, and parts, hardware, licensed software and advanced services may be extra.
Nearly every laptop symptom has several possible causes, and they cost very different amounts to put right. A machine that will not start might need a connector reseated or it might need a board. The visit exists to tell those apart, in front of you, before any money is committed to a repair.
No lights, no fan, nothing when the power button is pressed. Usually the adapter, the charging circuit or the board — and the order they are checked in matters, because replacing a battery on a machine whose adapter died solves nothing. A laptop that shows a light but never reaches the logo is a different fault again, and is diagnosed differently.
A laptop that charges only at a certain angle usually has a worn charging port, not a faulty battery. One that still reports a battery but drains in twenty minutes usually does have a worn battery, and that is a part rather than a repair. A battery that has visibly swollen — a trackpad starting to lift, a case that no longer sits flat — should stop being used and charged until someone has looked at it.
A swollen battery is a safety issue, not a performance one. Stop charging the machine and mention it when you book, so the technician arrives prepared for it.
Laptops slow themselves down when they cannot shed heat, so an overheating machine feels like a slow machine long before it starts switching itself off. The cause is usually years of dust in the heatsink and thermal paste that has dried out, both of which are serviceable. Sometimes it is a fan that has stopped, which is a part.
Slowness can be a failing drive, too little memory for how the machine is now used, thermal throttling, too much loading at startup, or a Windows install that has degraded. These are not interchangeable and they do not cost the same. Part of the diagnosis is telling you which one you have, including when the honest answer is that the machine is near the end of its useful life and the money is better kept.
A cracked panel, a display that works only when the lid is held at an angle, a backlight that has gone while the image is still faintly there, keys that have stopped responding, a trackpad that no longer clicks. Most of these are parts rather than repairs, and availability varies by model — so telling us the exact model when you book lets the part be checked before the visit.
Drive health is checked as part of most diagnoses, because it changes the advice. Moving an older but otherwise sound laptop from a hard disk to an SSD is the single largest improvement available to it. If a drive is already failing we say so plainly, and we will not write a fresh Windows onto a dying disk and call the job done.
Driver faults after an update, virus and malware cleanup, an install that has degraded past repair, or a laptop that has stopped seeing Wi-Fi while every other device in the house is fine. That last one is usually the laptop's own adapter or driver, which is ours to fix. A line that is down, or a plan that has run out, sits with your provider — we will tell you which of the two it is rather than charging you to find out.
Anything that clears a drive is discussed with you first, and a straightforward copy of readable files can usually be made during the visit. That is ordinary backup — copying what the drive will still give up. Recovering data from a drive that has already failed is a different job: workshop work, quoted case by case after we see the device, and never something we promise an outcome on.
Some laptops are not worth repairing, and that is better heard during a ₹499 visit than after an expensive one. A board on a machine already several years old, a panel that costs more than the laptop is worth, a model whose parts are no longer made — in each case we will tell you what the repair costs, what it buys you in remaining life, and leave the decision with you.
The ₹499 Doorstep Visit & Diagnosis covers the technician's visit, a basic diagnosis, an assessment of the issue and a repair estimate. The repair work itself is quoted after that and begins only once you approve it. Parts — batteries, screens, keyboards, drives — are charged separately at the price quoted to you, as are hardware, licensed software and advanced services.

No. ₹499 is the Doorstep Visit & Diagnosis — it covers the technician's visit, a basic diagnosis, an assessment of the issue and a repair estimate. Repair labour is quoted after that and charged only once you approve it, and parts, hardware, licensed software and advanced services are extra on top.
Most of the common jobs, yes — battery, charging port, keyboard, screen, storage, cleaning, and anything on the software side. Board-level repair and recovery from a failed drive genuinely need a workshop, and if that is what your machine needs we tell you during the visit instead of starting it on your table.
Yes, and it is usually where a diagnosis is worth the most, because a laptop that will not switch on covers everything from a dead adapter to a failed board. The visit tells you which one it is and what each would cost to put right.
That depends on what is wrong, what the part costs, how old the machine is, and whether parts are still made for it. We will give you the repair cost and an honest view of what it buys you in remaining life, and leave the decision to you. Sometimes the answer is that it is not worth it.
If the drive itself is still readable, copying your files is usually straightforward and can be done during the visit. If the drive has failed, that is data recovery — workshop work, quoted case by case after we see the device, and its outcome depends on the condition of the drive.
The usual ones — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and Apple among them. Part availability varies by model rather than by brand, so telling us the exact model when you book lets us check before the visit.
₹499 covers the visit, the diagnosis and a written estimate before any chargeable work.
