Computer Repair Cost Australia — Pricing Guide
Last Updated:
This is our consolidated AUD pricing guide for the most common laptop and desktop repairs in Australia, 2026. We charge per-fault, not flat-rate — meaning a simple paste service costs $180, not $400 just because some authorised service centres round everything up. Detailed cost tables for specific services are linked below.
All prices fitted (parts + labour) with 90-day warranty. Diagnostic is free if you proceed with the repair; standalone diagnostic-only is $80.

Common Issues & How We Fix Them
What a repair typically costs
Repair cost depends on the fault, the part and the device. We give a clear quote before any chargeable work and operate on a no-fix-no-fee basis, so a diagnosis that finds nothing fixable costs you nothing.
Screen replacements
Cracked-screen costs vary by model, resolution and whether the panel is touch — we confirm the exact panel before quoting.
Battery replacements
Battery cost depends on the device and cell capacity; we fit correct-capacity batteries and check the charging circuit.
Data recovery
Data recovery is quoted case by case after assessment, and is no-recovery, no-fee — you only pay if we retrieve your data.
Virus removal and tune-ups
Software jobs such as malware removal and tune-ups are typically fixed-fee, so you know the cost up front.
Every repair is covered by our no-fix-no-fee policy and a 90-day warranty, with onsite, workshop and remote options to suit your day.
