Computer Repair in Melaka

Simple jobs — virus removal, a tune-up, an OS reinstall — are the cheap end; hardware swaps like a screen or drive replacement are mid-range once parts are added; data recovery from a failed drive is the priciest. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee that's often waived if you go ahead with the repair.

Back up and, if possible, sign out of accounts or remove sensitive files first. Ask about the shop's data-handling policy, whether staff access your files, and whether the machine is wiped or reset. Reputable shops have a written privacy policy; be wary of any that shrug the question off.

Usually a full or failing hard drive, too little RAM, malware, or years of software bloat. A cheap SSD upgrade and a clean-up transform most older machines for far less than replacement. A tech can diagnose whether it's a quick fix or genuine end-of-life.

Often yes — if the drive is intact but the computer won't boot, a technician can usually pull your files. Physically failed drives need specialist (and pricier) data-recovery services. Either way, back up before any repair, and ask how the shop protects your data during the job.

Expect a warranty on the labour and on any parts fitted — commonly 30-90 days on the work, longer on the part itself. Get it in writing, and keep receipts for genuine parts. No warranty on a repair is a sign to look elsewhere.

Shops charge RM60-250/hr or flat rates: tune-up RM80-300, laptop screen replacement RM250-1,000 with parts, and data recovery RM500-4,500+. Get a written quote to avoid inflated part pricing.
