Onsite or Remote Laptop Repair: Which Do You Need?
If your laptop still starts and connects to the internet, remote help at $125/hour is often enough. It suits slow performance, virus pop-ups, software errors, email and account problems, and setting up a new laptop. We connect to your screen while you watch.
Choose a technician at your home or office at $205/hour when the laptop won't start, the fault looks physical, or you want a storage or RAM upgrade fitted.
Parts are extra, and screen, keyboard, charging-port, hinge and board-level faults are diagnosed and referred. If the fault turns out to be one we refer, the onsite visit is still charged at $205/hour with a one-hour minimum, so call first if you are unsure.
For what affects the total, see our laptop repair costs guide.
Not sure which applies? Call 02 7247 6817 and describe the symptoms. We will tell you whether remote help will do or a visit is needed.

Remote help is available to customers across Sydney and its suburbs, as long as the laptop can connect to the internet.
How much does it usually cost to repair a laptop?
Our rates are $205/hour onsite and $125/hour remote, with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. Parts are extra. For a breakdown of what affects the total, see the laptop repair costs guide on the Geeks IT Sydney blog.
Is it worth it to get a laptop repaired?
Often yes, if the fault is modest and the laptop is fairly recent. Compare the cost of the fix with a new laptop, and check whether a storage or RAM upgrade would solve the problem.
What is the most common failure issue in laptops?
Battery and charging problems are among the most common laptop faults. Others include storage drive failure, overheating, screen damage, and software or malware issues. Which one you have depends on the laptop's age and use. A technician can narrow it down from the symptoms and a quick check.
What do I do with a 10 year old laptop?
Back up your files first. Then check whether an SSD or RAM upgrade would make it worthwhile. Windows 10 support ended in October 2025, so a laptop that can't run Windows 11 no longer receives security updates. In that case, replace it and securely wipe the old one.

Remote help suits faults inside Windows or macOS: slow performance, software errors, virus and malware clean-ups, Wi-Fi and login problems, and setting up a new laptop. The laptop needs to start and be online. We come to your door when the laptop won't start, the internet is down, or the machine needs a hands-on look, such as overheating from dust build-up. For MacBooks, see our Apple Mac repairs page.
Laptop symptoms: what we fix and what we refer
| Symptom | Likely cause | Remote or onsite | We fix / we refer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Won't start or boot | Software or operating system fault, or a power, battery or hardware fault | Onsite | We fix software causes; hardware causes we diagnose and refer |
| Running slow | Too many startup programs, full storage, malware | Remote | We fix |
| Overheating | Heavy software load or dust build-up | Onsite | We fix software and dust-related causes |
| Wi-Fi or login problems | Settings, drivers or account faults | Remote | We fix |
| Pop-ups, redirects, virus warnings | Malware | Remote | We fix |
| Cracked screen | Impact or pressure damage | Onsite | We confirm the fault and check whether your files can be backed up, then refer you for the screen replacement |
| Keyboard, charging port or hinge fault | Wear, spills or physical damage | Onsite | We confirm the fault and check whether your files can be backed up, then refer you for the repair |
| Battery not holding charge | Worn battery | Onsite | We diagnose, then refer you |
Geeks IT Sydney does not do board-level repairs or fit replacement screens, keyboards, charging ports or hinges; we diagnose the fault and refer you. We do not offer a warranty on our own work; parts carry the manufacturer's warranty only.
If a fault is beyond our scope, we tell you what we found, check whether your files can be backed up, and point you to the right repairer so you know what to ask for.
Is it worth repairing your laptop?
Four simple rules:
- Software fault: a fault fixed remotely is billed at $125/hour with a one-hour minimum, so it is usually worth fixing.
- Hardware fault: a cracked screen, keyboard, charging port, hinge or battery means a referral to a parts repairer on top of our diagnosis visit, which is billed at $205/hour onsite with a one-hour minimum.
- Cost: if the parts repairer's quote approaches the price of a comparable replacement, replace the laptop.
- Data: if the laptop still runs, we back up your files before any further work, so your files are not the reason to keep a failing machine.
For more, read our repair vs replace guide.
What to do before we arrive
Protect your data first. If the laptop won't start or has been exposed to liquid, stop using it and don't keep restarting it. Back up what you can, and tell us what happened.
If the damage may be an insurance claim, photograph it, keep your receipts and note when it happened.
We visit homes and offices across Sydney and its suburbs, including the CBD, Parramatta, Chatswood, Manly, Bondi and Liverpool.
