MSI Aegis RS Repair — your questions answered
How much does it cost to repair an MSI Aegis RS that won't turn on?
A no-power fault is usually the power supply. We test the unit first and quote a replacement 650 W or 750 W 80+ Gold model from $189 with same-day turnaround in most capital cities. No fix, no fee applies.
Can you recover data from a failed SSD in an MSI Aegis RS?
Yes. We remove the M.2 drive, image it in our clean-room setup and recover files to a new SSD. Typical cost is $260-$450 depending on drive size and damage severity, with a 90-day warranty on the new drive.
Is it worth upgrading the RAM and storage in an older MSI Aegis RS?
Adding 32 GB DDR4 and a 1 TB NVMe SSD usually costs $300-$420 and makes the machine feel current again for everyday use and light gaming. We keep the original Windows licence intact and reinstall cleanly.
How long does a full service and clean take on an MSI Aegis RS?
Dust removal, fan servicing and thermal repaste normally takes two to three hours. Most customers receive their machine back the same day when booked before midday, with a 90-day warranty on labour.
Do you repair MSI Aegis RS units that are out of warranty?
We repair every MSI Aegis RS regardless of age or warranty status. We use genuine and quality refurbished parts, provide a 90-day warranty on the work, and offer onsite, remote and workshop options across Australia.
