Framework Laptop Repair — Modular Specialist

Last Updated:

Framework Laptop is the modular repairable laptop — designed to be user-serviceable for almost every component (CPU mainboard, RAM, SSD, keyboard, screen, ports via swappable Expansion Cards). Built-in Right-to-Repair ethos. Growing niche in AU among environmentally-conscious + technical users.

Framework-specific service: Expansion Card slot wear (frequent swapping wears the connector — replace the slot module), mainboard upgrade installation (newer CPU mainboard fits the same chassis, we do the swap + test), keyboard replacement (Framework keyboards are user-replaceable but customers often prefer us to do it), and screen panel swap (Framework 13 has FHD+ and 2.8K options — we can upgrade in place).

Common Issues & How We Fix Them

As a modular, repairable laptop, the Framework is built to be fixed — and we fix every part of it. These are the issues we see most.

Mainboard faults and upgrades

Framework’s defining feature is the swappable mainboard. We diagnose board-level faults and handle mainboard replacements and generational upgrades while preserving your storage and data.

Expansion card and port problems

If an expansion card is not detected or a port has stopped working, the fault may be the card or the bay. We test each module and replace only what is faulty.

Keyboard and input-cover issues

Dead keys, an unresponsive trackpad or a damaged input cover are quick fixes on a Framework thanks to its modular design — we replace the affected module, not the whole laptop.

Cracked or faulty screen

We fit a model-matched display for cracked, black or flickering screens and recalibrate before return.

Battery that won’t hold charge

A Framework battery that drains quickly or will not charge is a straightforward, repairable module. We fit a correct-capacity cell and verify charging.

Won’t power on

A no-boot Framework is usually a mainboard, memory or storage fault. We work through each module to find the cause without unnecessary parts.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Framework? Can't I just repair it myself?

Many customers do — Framework provides guides + spare parts. We’re for customers who don’t have time or aren’t comfortable with the disassembly. We charge time-only labour: $90/hr + parts cost.

Mainboard upgrade — what does it involve?

Framework sells newer-generation mainboards as upgrade kits (e.g. Intel 12th → 13th → Core Ultra; Ryzen 7000 → AI 300). The upgrade keeps your screen, keyboard, chassis, expansion cards — replaces just the mainboard. We do the swap + cooling repaste + test for $180 labour.

Framework 16 RTX 7700S GPU module — repair?

The discrete GPU module on Framework 16 is itself a swappable unit. If the GPU dies, Framework can ship a replacement module. We install + test for $120.

Expansion Card slot wear?

The 4 USB-C slots on Framework 13 (6 on Framework 16) can wear from frequent Expansion Card swapping. Replacement slot module is user-serviceable; we fit for $80 labour each.

Are you Framework authorised?

Framework’s philosophy is ‘authorised = the user’. We’re an independent repair shop that supports the Framework right-to-repair ethos. Framework officially supports any user / independent shop doing repairs.
