Laptop repair in India costs about ₹1,799 to ₹6,999 for the common part swaps and ₹2,499 to ₹14,999 for motherboard work, going by our 2026 Mumbai price list. A screen replacement starts at ₹3,499, a battery at ₹2,499 and a keyboard at ₹1,799, while a laptop service for cleaning and cooling starts at ₹549. The exact amount depends on your model, the part and whether the fault sits on the board, so every repair starts with a ₹350 inspection that is credited to the bill when you go ahead.
What does each common laptop repair cost?
The table shows the price ranges on our list for the repairs people ask about most. Each range runs from the simplest case to the hardest one: an ordinary HD or Full HD panel sits at the bottom of the screen range, and a touch, 144 Hz or 4K panel at the top. The written quote you receive after the inspection fixes the exact figure inside the range.

The live figures for every service are on our price list. MacBooks are quoted on their own pages, because Apple parts and boards are priced differently from Windows laptops.
Each repair in the table has its own guide that explains what sets the price: the laptop screen repair cost by panel type, the laptop motherboard repair cost from component work to a full board, the laptop keyboard replacement cost, the laptop battery replacement cost and the laptop charging port repair cost.
Why does the same repair cost different amounts?
Two laptops with the same fault can get quotes that are thousands of rupees apart. These are the usual reasons.
- The part. An original-grade part costs more than a compatible one, and a part for a popular model is easier to find than one for a rare model. Ask which grade is in the quote.
- The model. Thin, gaming and workstation machines use specialised parts. That is why the gaming battery and the backlit keyboard rows sit above the ordinary ones.
- How deep the fault goes. Swapping a part is the cheap end. Board-level work, where a technician finds a failed component and replaces it, takes more time and skill.
- Time pressure. A job that waits for a part takes longer than one finished the same day.
- Your data. If files must be saved before the repair, the drive needs separate attention, and that is priced on the data recovery row.
Should you repair the laptop or buy a new one?
A simple test works for most people. If the quote is more than about half the price of a comparable new laptop, stop and think. If the machine is several years old and has more than one fault, replacing it is usually the better use of money.
Repair makes sense when the fault is a single part, such as a screen, a battery, a keyboard or a charging port, on a laptop that is otherwise fast enough for your work. An SSD or RAM upgrade can also add years to a slow but healthy machine at a fraction of the price of a new one. If you decide to replace it, the old laptop still has value: see selling your laptop, or browse laptops for sale.
How do you avoid overpaying for a laptop repair?
- Get the diagnosis before the price. A quote given over the phone without opening the laptop is a guess.
- Ask for a written quote. It should name the fault, the part and the total, so there are no surprises at pick-up.
- Ask what grade of part it is. New, original-grade, compatible and used parts have different prices and different lifespans.
- Ask about the warranty. Our repairs carry a 90-day written warranty. Whatever a shop offers, get it in writing.
- Compare quotes. If another shop gives you a lower written quote for the same part and fault, show it to us and we will tell you honestly whether we can match it.
- Approve before work starts. Nothing should be repaired, replaced or reinstalled until you have agreed the amount.
How long does a laptop repair take, and how does it work at Xigox?
Most repairs are finished the same day. Board-level work takes 2 to 5 days because it needs diagnosis and parts. This is how a repair runs with us:
- You call, WhatsApp or book online and tell us the model and the fault.
- We collect the laptop from you within 2 hours across Mumbai, Thane and Palghar, or you bring it to our Head Office in Virar West. Our branches ask you to call or WhatsApp before visiting.
- A technician inspects it for ₹350, and that amount is credited to the repair if you go ahead.
- You receive the quote and approve it, then the repair is done.
- The laptop is delivered back with a 90-day warranty.
If you want the price of a particular repair before booking, the service pages show the same ranges as the table above: screen replacement, battery replacement, keyboard replacement and motherboard repair. Hinge costs are covered in our guide to laptop hinge repair cost.
Common questions about laptop repair cost
How much does a laptop service cost?
A routine laptop service, which means dust cleaning and fresh thermal paste, is the cheapest work on our list. Cleaning and fan work start at ₹549, and a thermal paste application runs from ₹499 to ₹899. A full cooling overhaul with new fans costs more, up to ₹5,299. The ₹350 inspection tells us which of these your laptop needs, and it is credited to the bill when you go ahead. Our guide to laptop service charges explains what each level includes.
Is the ₹350 inspection extra?
No. It pays for the technician's time to find the fault, and it is credited against the repair when you go ahead. If you decide not to repair, you pay only the inspection.
Why is motherboard repair such a wide range?
Because "motherboard" covers very different jobs. Replacing one failed component is a small repair, repairing a chip-level fault needs specialist equipment, and a full board replacement is the largest job. The inspection tells you which one applies before you commit.
Which repair is the cheapest?
Port cleaning, fan cleaning and a basic hinge fix are at the low end of the list, starting at ₹549 for the first two and ₹1,499 for the hinge. The most common part swaps, such as a keyboard from ₹1,799 or a battery from ₹2,499, come next.
Can the laptop be repaired without losing my data?
Screen, battery and keyboard replacements do not touch the drive, so your files stay where they are. When the fault is on the board or the drive itself, tell us which files matter before work starts, so the technician can protect them.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace an old laptop?
For a single failed part, repair is almost always cheaper. For an old laptop with several faults, or a quote near half the price of a new one, replacing it is usually the better choice. We will tell you if we think so after the inspection.
