System upgrades
Upgrade before you replace.
If your computer still meets your needs, a suitable upgrade may extend its useful life and cost less than replacing it. We check the model, condition and compatibility before recommending parts.
What can we upgrade?
SSD & storage
Replace a compatible hard drive with an SSD or increase storage capacity. Transfer or reinstall options are discussed before work starts.
Memory (RAM)
Increase memory for multitasking and demanding applications when the device supports an upgrade.
Desktop components
Discuss graphics cards, processors, cooling and other components. Compatibility, power requirements and the value of the upgrade come first.
Cooling & maintenance
Check overheating, clean cooling components and discuss servicing appropriate for the device.
When does an upgrade make sense?
A slow but otherwise suitable computer, limited storage or insufficient memory can be good reasons to explore an upgrade. It may help extend the life of your existing equipment and avoid replacing parts that still work.
Every system has limits
Some laptops have soldered memory or non-replaceable parts. An upgrade cannot resolve every fault or overcome an unsupported operating system. We will discuss repair, upgrade and replacement options for your specific device.
Practical options for your budget
Costs depend on the device, diagnosis, parts and labour. Tell us your budget; we will discuss suitable options and provide a quote for your approval before work proceeds. Ask about any assessment fee when booking.

Common questions
Can every laptop be upgraded?
No. Upgrade options depend on the exact model. Send us the model number so we can check memory, storage and other limitations.
Is an upgrade always cheaper than replacement?
No. We compare the proposed work with the age, condition and capabilities of your device. Replacement may be a better choice for some systems.
How long does service take?
Timing depends on diagnosis, parts availability and the work required. We discuss an estimated turnaround after reviewing the request.
What should I bring?
Bring the device and its charger, and describe the problem. Back up important files before service and discuss any data-handling or transfer requirements with us.
How is the cost of a repair or upgrade determined?
The cost depends on the fault, required parts and work involved. Share your device details and symptoms so we can review your request and discuss an estimate.
Should I back up my files before service?
Yes. Back up important files before bringing in your device. If it will not start or you cannot make a backup, tell us before service so we can discuss your data needs.
Can an SSD upgrade make my computer faster?
An SSD can improve startup and application loading times when replacing a mechanical hard drive. The overall benefit depends on your computer’s specifications, condition and compatible upgrade options.
What details should I include in my service request?
Include the brand and model if known, what happens when the problem occurs, any error messages and when it started. Mention recent changes and troubleshooting you have already tried.
