From cracked screens to dead motherboards — we repair all laptop brands at The Zone @ Rosebank. 17+ years of experience, most repairs same-day.
From R350At Asetos Computers in Rosebank, Johannesburg, we repair laptops from every major manufacturer. Whether you have a Dell Latitude that won't charge, an HP Pavilion with a broken hinge, a Lenovo ThinkPad with a dead motherboard, or an Acer Aspire with a cracked screen — we've seen it before and we know how to fix it. Our workshop at The Zone @ Rosebank is equipped for component-level repair, which means we can often fix problems that other shops would tell you require a full replacement.
We work on Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Samsung, MSI, Gigabyte, and Razer laptops. Whether your machine is a budget notebook, a business ultrabook, or a gaming laptop, we have the tools and experience to diagnose and repair it.
A cracked or malfunctioning laptop screen is the most common repair we perform. We stock LCD and LED screens for popular Dell, HP, and Lenovo models for same-day replacement. For less common screens, we source from our supplier network within 2–5 business days. Laptop screen replacement starts from R1,400 for standard HD panels and goes up to R3,500 for high-resolution FHD displays. See full screen replacement details and pricing →
Spilled coffee, worn-out keys, or keys that don't respond? We replace laptop keyboards for all brands. The keyboard is integrated into the laptop chassis on most modern designs, so replacement requires careful disassembly. We carry keyboards for the most common Dell, HP, and Lenovo models. Pricing ranges from R800 to R1,800 depending on the model.
If your laptop dies within minutes of being unplugged, the battery has reached the end of its life. We supply and install replacement batteries for all major laptop brands. A new battery restores your laptop's portability and typically costs between R650 and R1,500. We use high-quality compatible batteries with proper capacity ratings — no cheap knockoffs that lose charge after two months.
A loose or broken charging port is a common issue, especially on laptops that get moved around a lot. The DC jack can crack, come loose from the motherboard, or develop a faulty connection. We perform both board-level DC jack repairs (resoldering) and full port replacements. Pricing ranges from R450 to R900.
Motherboard failure is the most complex laptop repair, but it's often fixable at component level. Common motherboard problems include no power, random shutdowns, no display output, USB ports not working, and charging circuit failure. Many of these are caused by load shedding surges, liquid spills, or age-related capacitor failure. We diagnose at component level and replace the specific failed parts rather than the entire motherboard, saving you thousands. Motherboard repair ranges from R1,200 to R3,500.
Broken laptop hinges are extremely common, especially on HP and Acer models where the hinge design is a known weak point. We repair hinges by reinforcing the mounting points, replacing the hinge mechanism, and in some cases fabricating custom brackets when original parts aren't available. Hinge repair costs between R600 and R1,500.
If your laptop is running hot, making grinding noises, or shutting down during intensive tasks, the cooling system needs attention. We replace faulty fans, clean out dust buildup, reapply thermal paste, and ensure proper airflow. This extends the life of your laptop significantly and prevents heat damage to the CPU and GPU. Fan service starts from R500.
