Laptop Repair in Edmonton — Tech4Service Ltd

Laptop Repair in Edmonton shouldn’t feel like a gamble. At Tech4Service Ltd, we diagnose first, explain the options clearly, and only proceed once you approve. Whether you’re dealing with sudden shutdowns, slow performance, error codes, or hardware failures, we focus on the real root cause—not guesswork.

We work on laptops, desktops, MacBooks, and gaming PCs. Many issues look similar on the surface (no power, black screen, random restarts), but the correct fix depends on accurate testing. That’s why our workflow is built around measurement, verification, and final testing before pickup.

If you’ve already tried basic steps (different charger, reset, safe mode, reinstall drivers) and the problem keeps returning, it usually means there’s an underlying cause: unstable power delivery, heat damage, storage degradation, RAM errors, liquid corrosion, or a software conflict. We’ll identify which one it is and recommend the fastest, most reliable path forward.

Devices we service

We regularly service Windows laptops and desktops, Apple MacBooks and iMacs, business workstations, and gaming PCs. If you’re not sure whether your model is supported, send us the model number or bring it in. We’ll confirm what’s possible and whether repair is the best value.

How we diagnose properly (so you don’t pay twice)

Real diagnostics means we check the system the same way we would in a professional repair lab: verify the symptom, isolate variables, and confirm the fault with testing. For power problems, that can include inspecting the DC-in path, checking battery/adapter negotiation, measuring key rails, and confirming whether the device is shutting down due to a protection circuit or a component fault.

For performance issues, we look at storage health (SMART), CPU/GPU temperatures, background tasks, RAM stability, and OS integrity. For malware concerns, we validate with scans and confirm persistence points (startup items, scheduled tasks, browser policies, extensions, and DNS settings).

We also care about practical outcomes: if a repair is not economical, we’ll say so. If an upgrade is a better value than repair, we’ll outline what you can do to extend the device life without wasting money.

Repair options: best value vs. best long-term

Not every fix has the same long-term value. Sometimes replacing a failing part is enough. Other times, preventive work (cleaning, thermal paste, fan service, BIOS updates, SSD upgrade) prevents repeat failures and extends the device’s usable life. We’ll explain the difference so you can choose what makes sense for your budget and timeline.

Examples of common high-value fixes

• SSD upgrade + OS tune: faster boot, less freezing, better reliability.
• Thermal service: lower temps, quieter fans, fewer shutdowns.
• DC jack repair: stable charging and prevents battery damage.
• Clean malware removal: restores speed and protects accounts.
• Backup setup: reduces risk of data loss in future failures.

Pricing & turnaround

Pricing depends on the device model, parts required, and complexity (for example: a simple tune-up vs. a board-level power issue). We keep pricing transparent and will outline options (best value / fastest / best long-term reliability) whenever possible.

Many repairs can be completed same-day or next-day when parts are available. If special-order parts are required (screens, keyboards, batteries, charging jacks, specific SSDs), we’ll give you a realistic timeline and keep you updated.

On-site service: available when appropriate. Minimum service charge applies (includes first hour) and additional hours are billed at a reduced rate.

Quality control before pickup

Before we return a device, we validate the original issue is resolved and run sanity checks for stability: charging behavior, sleep/wake, temperature control, basic stress tests (when relevant), and device functionality. If the device is a gaming PC or workstation, we can also validate GPU/CPU stability and ensure drivers are clean and current.

What “tested before pickup” means

• Boot + restart verification
• Charging and battery behavior validation
• Thermal monitoring under load (when relevant)
• Storage health check after repair
• Network connectivity check
• Basic peripheral check (keyboard, trackpad/mouse, display output when relevant)

FAQ

Do you offer diagnostics before repair?

Yes. We verify the issue, test properly, and explain what we found before proceeding with billable work.

Can you recover data if the computer won’t boot?

Often yes. If storage is healthy we can extract data; if the drive is failing we may recommend data recovery options first.

Do you work on gaming PCs and custom builds?

Yes. We troubleshoot power, stability, cooling, BIOS/driver issues, and performance tuning.

Will you fix it the same day?

Many issues can be fixed the same day or next day depending on parts availability and complexity.

Do you do board-level repair?

Yes, when it’s the correct solution. We test power rails and components to confirm the true fault.

What if you can’t fix it?

If a device is not economically repairable (for example, severe board damage or CPU failure), we’ll explain why and suggest realistic alternatives.

Do you service Macs as well?

Yes — we service MacBooks and Macs. For Apple devices we focus on correct diagnosis, safe handling, and quality parts.

Do you offer onsite service?

Yes, onsite service is available. Minimum service charge applies; we’ll confirm details during booking.

How do I prepare my device?

If possible, back up important data and bring chargers or relevant accessories. If you can’t boot, don’t worry—bring it as-is.

Can you help with business IT support too?

Yes. We help with email, networking, backups, security, and ongoing support for small businesses.

Do you install new parts?

Yes. If a repair requires parts (screen, battery, SSD, RAM, jack, keyboard), we source the correct match and confirm compatibility before installation.

Will I lose my files?

Most repairs do not require data loss. However, if the storage is failing, we will recommend backup or recovery first to protect important data.
