Computer hardware repairs in Melbourne

When a computer has a faulty part, the first job is to find out what has failed and what a repair would involve. Australian Computer Doctors provides Melbourne customers with hardware diagnosis, repairs and advice on compatible upgrades for laptops, desktop PCs and Macs.

We visit your home or workplace and discuss the fault, the files you need and the tasks the computer should handle. Software problems are checked where relevant too, so a replacement part is not suggested simply because the device is unreliable.

Choose repairs and upgrades for the computer you own

Computers with similar names can use different components. We identify the exact model and investigate the fault before discussing parts. Memory, storage and other upgrades also depend on the design and should solve a limitation that matters to you.

After diagnosis, we explain the labour, parts and any offsite arrangements needed. A serious fault may make repair uneconomical, but the service fee for diagnosis still applies. We can discuss files, backups or a replacement setup to help you make the most practical decision.

Diagnose laptop, desktop and Mac component faults.
Assess broken parts and suitable replacements.

Compare the proposed repair with upgrade or replacement options.

Before requesting a hardware repair

Give us the make, model and a plain description of the fault.
Mention damage, recent parts changes or earlier repair work.
Include external photos if something is visibly broken.
Tell us about files stored only on the affected device.

Common questions

Should I order a replacement part before calling?

Please discuss the fault and exact model first. Similar symptoms can have different causes, and parts vary between versions. We can check compatibility and explain what is involved before you commit to a purchase.

Can every computer be upgraded?

No. Some models have components built in or limited upgrade choices. We check the design and your needs before suggesting a part. An upgrade should make sense for the computer, the fault and the tasks you want it to handle.

Is diagnosis charged if the repair is not economical?

Yes. When we diagnose a serious fault and explain the options, our normal service fees apply even if repair is not economically viable. We can use the findings to help with accessible data, replacement advice and other practical next steps.

How do I find out about pricing?

Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on 1300 057 008 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.

How much time should I allow?

Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
