HP Laptop Repairs — your questions answered
How much does it cost to replace the battery in my HP Envy or Pavilion?
Battery replacement on 2019-2023 Envy and Pavilion models starts from $169 including the genuine 3-cell pack and BMS recalibration. We image your drive first and complete most units the same day in workshop or onsite.
Can you fix the wobbly screen on my HP Spectre x360?
Yes. The 360° torque hinges on Spectre x360 units commonly loosen after 18-24 months. We fit new OEM hinge sets, reseat the display cables and test the lid sensor. Typical cost is $280-$420 with a 90-day warranty.
My Omen laptop won't charge above 100 W — is the port repairable?
The USB-C PD or barrel jack on Omen 16 and 17 models can fail to negotiate the full 230 W. We desolder the damaged connectors and install new surface-mount parts rated for 5 A. Expect $195-$295 and 3-5 business days turnaround.
Will data be lost if my HP laptop won't turn on?
We perform a no-fix-no-fee diagnostic first. Storage is imaged before any board-level work, so data is preserved even on BitLocker drives. Recovery pricing ranges from $250-$650 depending on the fault.
How long is the warranty on HP laptop repairs in Australia?
Every repair carries a 90-day warranty covering both parts and labour. This applies whether the work is completed in our Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide workshops or onsite at your location.
