Acer Aspire TC-780 Repair — your questions answered
How much does it cost to repair an Acer Aspire TC-780 that won’t turn on?
Most power issues on the TC-780 trace to the 180 W external brick or internal capacitors. A full diagnostic starts at $99, and a capacitor refresh typically lands between $145 and $195. You only pay if we fix it.
Can you upgrade my Acer Aspire TC-780 to Windows 11?
Yes. We fit a 512 GB or larger SATA SSD, add at least 16 GB DDR4, then perform a clean Windows 11 install with the latest Intel chipset and LAN drivers. Expect $189-$289 depending on the SSD size.
Is the Acer Aspire TC-780 worth repairing in 2025?
With a new SSD, 16 GB RAM and a clean Windows 11 install, the TC-780 easily handles office work, browsing and streaming. Replacement cost for a comparable new tower is three to four times higher, so most owners choose repair.
Do you offer onsite repair for the Acer Aspire TC-780?
Our technicians cover greater capital city areas for onsite visits. We can diagnose power, drive and memory faults at your home or office and complete most SSD or RAM upgrades the same day.
How long does a typical Acer Aspire TC-780 repair take?
Simple jobs like RAM upgrades or CMOS battery swaps finish same day. Drive imaging and Windows reinstalls usually require one business day. We always confirm turnaround before starting work.
