Laptop & PC Repair in Manchester, CT
Laptop repair for Mac and Windows — cracked screens, keyboards, batteries, liquid spills, and SSD upgrades that make a slow laptop feel new. From cracked laptop screens and dead batteries to SSD/RAM upgrades that make an old machine feel new — for Mac and Windows, laptops and desktop PCs. On desktops and gaming rigs we also diagnose graphics cards (GPUs): artifacting, black screen, fans spinning at full with no display, or crashes under load often trace to overheating from dried thermal paste/dusty heatsinks, a failing fan, or VRAM faults — we test, repaste, replace fans, and reseat or swap the card. Tech Genius handles laptop & pc repair for customers across Manchester, CT and nearby towns, typically while you wait.
Devices we cover: MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, and custom desktops.

Laptop & PC Repair — questions
Can you make my old laptop faster?
Often dramatically — an SSD upgrade plus a cleanup can make an old machine feel new for a fraction of a replacement.
Do you repair MacBooks?
Yes — screens, batteries, keyboards, and logic-board level repairs.
Do you repair graphics cards?
Yes. Most "dead GPU" symptoms — screen artifacts, crashes in games, or fans at full speed with no picture — come from heat: dried thermal paste, clogged heatsinks, or a failing fan. We clean and repaste the card, replace fans, and reseat it; where the GPU or its VRAM is genuinely faulty we advise repair vs. replacement before you spend anything.
My computer says it cannot run Windows 11 — is it worth keeping?
Usually yes. Windows 10 stopped getting free security updates on October 14, 2025, but a working PC that fails the Windows 11 check almost always fails on just one requirement — TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot — that is often disabled in the BIOS rather than missing. We check whether your machine actually qualifies, enable those settings, and pair the upgrade with an SSD and RAM bump so an older computer runs fast and stays supported instead of being replaced.

Laptop repair details for Manchester, CT & Greater Hartford
Laptops fail differently from desktops, and the physical faults are the ones we see most at our Manchester bench. A lid that creaks, pops, or suddenly flops loose is a hinge fault: on plastic-chassis laptops the hinge screws anchor into brass inserts that tear out of the lid or palmrest, and opening the machine one-handed from a corner speeds it up — caught early it is a rebuild of the mounts, left alone the flexing lid starts cutting into the display cable and turns a small job into a screen repair. A trackpad that stops clicking or sits proud of the case, or a bottom cover that no longer sits flat, is very often a swollen lithium battery pushing up from underneath — stop charging it and bring it in, because a swelling pouch cell is a safety issue, not a cosmetic one. Charging faults split by connector: on barrel-jack laptops we test the adapter under load first, then the DC jack, which wears loose after years of plugging in; on newer machines that charge over USB-C, the same wiggle-to-charge symptom means the port itself is worn, the identical fault we fix on phones. If you spill a drink on the keyboard, power off and unplug immediately and do not charge it — on many Windows laptops the keyboard is a replaceable part, while on others it is built into the top case, and we will tell you which yours is before quoting. One honest upgrade note: many thin modern laptops have memory soldered to the board, so where a RAM upgrade is impossible the practical speed fix is the storage and a cleanup instead. ThinkPads have their own screen bench — see ThinkPad screen repair — and Apple laptops go to our MacBook bench. If a laptop will not power on at all, your files are almost always still safe on the drive, and data recovery comes before any repair decision. Most diagnostics are done while you wait.
