Acer TravelMate Repair — your questions answered
How much does battery replacement cost on an Acer TravelMate P series?
A genuine 56 Wh or 64 Wh battery for current TravelMate P models is typically $145 including fitting and recalibration. We test the original pack first to confirm cell degradation before ordering the part, and the job is usually completed same day.
Can you repair the Thunderbolt 4 port on my TravelMate without replacing the whole motherboard?
Yes, the USB-C receptacle sits on a separate daughterboard in most TravelMate P and Spin units. We desolder the damaged port and fit a new OEM-grade connector for $180-$260, avoiding the cost of a full mainboard.
Do you offer fleet discounts for multiple TravelMate laptops?
We provide 20-30 % volume pricing on five or more identical units and can arrange quarterly maintenance contracts that include thermal repaste and battery health checks. Contact us with your model list for a written fleet quote.
How long does a keyboard replacement take on a TravelMate P414?
The full top-case assembly swap on a TravelMate P414 normally takes two to three business days once the part arrives. We transfer your existing palmrest branding and test all ports and backlighting before return.
Is the 90-day warranty transferable if I sell the repaired TravelMate?
The 90-day parts and labour warranty stays with the device. Any subsequent owner can contact us with the original job number for warranty service within the period, provided the repair seal remains intact.
