Laptop and desktop repair

Most repairs fall into a few groups: it will not power on, it powers on with no display, it overheats and shuts down, or it has become extremely slow. Each points to a different area — charging circuit, RAM or display, dust and thermal paste, or a failing hard disk.

Swapping an old mechanical hard disk for an SSD is the single biggest speed improvement on most older machines used in Kampala offices, and is far cheaper than replacing the laptop.

No power, no display and charging faults
Cracked screen and hinge replacement
Keyboard, battery and charger replacement
Overheating, fan cleaning and thermal paste
Hard disk to SSD upgrades and RAM increases

Software, viruses and data recovery

Before any reinstall, ask the technician to back up your documents. If a drive is already failing, stop using the machine — continued use makes recovery harder. Recovery from a physically damaged drive is specialised work and should be quoted separately.

Windows and macOS installation and activation
Driver, Office and application setup
Virus, malware and ransomware clean-up
File recovery from failing or formatted drives
Backup setup so it does not happen again

Networking, Wi-Fi and office IT

Dropping Wi-Fi in a house or office is often coverage rather than the internet package: thick walls, one router in a corner, or too many devices on a cheap access point. Technicians survey the space, place access points properly and can run structured cabling for desks and CCTV.

Router configuration and Wi-Fi coverage fixes
Access points, mesh and range extension
LAN cabling, patch panels and switches
Shared printers, file sharing and NAS
CCTV and IP camera setup and remote viewing

Printers, POS and business systems

Small businesses in Kampala often need someone who can handle everything: a POS terminal, a receipt printer, an accounting package and the network that ties them together. Say what system you use when you send your request so the right technician responds.

IT & Computer Technicians: frequently asked questions

Can a technician come to my office in Kampala?

Yes. On-site IT support across Kampala and Wakiso is common. Describe the problem and your location and technicians nearby will respond.

Is it worth repairing an old laptop or should I buy a new one?

If the board and screen are fine, an SSD upgrade and extra RAM usually restore usable speed for a fraction of a new machine. A technician can advise after diagnosis.

Can my data be recovered from a dead hard disk?

Often yes if the drive is only logically damaged. Stop using the machine immediately and take it in — continued use can overwrite recoverable files.

Why does my Wi-Fi keep dropping in some rooms?

It is usually coverage rather than your internet package. Router placement, wall thickness and device count all matter; an extra access point often solves it.
