Prices
Prices include labour. Any replacement parts are charged separately at cost, and I will always agree them with you in advance.
Basic computer service
40 €I check that the computer's operating system and software are working correctly and make any necessary changes to improve performance. I also check the components and extend their lifespan by removing dust from the device and replacing the thermal paste or pads. If necessary, I will recommend upgrades to extend the computer's useful life.
Diagnostics & repairs
20 €/hMinimum 30 minutes, maximum 6 hours. I identify the fault and assess whether a repair is worthwhile. Once I have found the fault, I will contact you and agree the repair work with you. If the repair requires a faulty component to be replaced, labour is charged at the hourly rate and the component is purchased as agreed.
Component replacement or upgrade
40 €I can install your own component in your computer or help you choose a part that suits your needs and install it in place of the old one. The cost of the component is charged separately if required. The most common laptop upgrades are RAM and an SSD, which can significantly improve performance.
