Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a laptop screen replacement take?
If we have the specific screen model in stock at our Oceanside or Encinitas shop, we can often complete the replacement on the same day. If the part needs to be ordered, it typically takes 1-3 business days. We will always give you an accurate ETA with your quote.
Is it worth fixing an older laptop?
Often, yes! A simple, cost-effective upgrade like a Solid State Drive (SSD) and a RAM boost can make an older laptop feel significantly faster than when it was new. Our free diagnostic will help you make an informed decision by comparing the repair cost to the price of a comparable new machine.
