Services and prices

Every figure covers the work and the part together. The range is the spread between an ordinary model and a thin or rare one; the exact number comes from the bench after diagnostics.

The price comes out of diagnostics

We look first and quote second. "It will not turn on" has a dozen causes, from the cable to the board, and the gap between them is twentyfold.

Diagnostics
900 RUB
How long it takes
1–2 days
If we do the repair
The diagnostics fee comes off the final bill
  • Diagnostics is charged for and takes a day or two. We do not do it on the spot while you wait: there is one bench and one queue.
  • If you go ahead with the repair, the diagnostics fee comes off the final bill. If you decline, you pay for the diagnostics only and take the device back assembled.
  • After diagnostics you get one figure covering work and part. It does not grow afterwards: if something else surfaces mid-repair, we call and ask first.
  • Liquid-damaged devices jump the queue: the longer a board sits wet, the more corrosion there is. The prognosis for them stays the most cautious of any job we take.
  • Sometimes a repair is simply not worth it. We will say so plainly and explain why. Taking the money anyway is possible, but then you would not come back.

What the badges mean

Common repair
The job we see most often on this bench: the part is usually on the shelf and the turnaround lands near the bottom of the range.
Part required
The fault cannot be cleared without replacing a part. If it is not in stock, delivery time is added to the job — and you hear that before the repair starts, not at the end.
Priced after diagnostics
There is no upper figure for this work: what failed decides the price, and nobody can name it in advance.

Laptops

The most frequent visitor to the bench. The ranges run from an ordinary model up to a thin or rare one; the exact figure comes after diagnostics and never rises above the one you were quoted.

Bench: Computer bench

  • Cleaning and thermal paste

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 1 day

    from 2900 to 4500 RUB

    Full teardown, heatsink and fan cleaned, thermal paste and pads replaced. This is the fix when a laptop runs hot, gets loud and throttles under load.

    Warranty: 3 monthsCommon repair

  • Screen replacement

    Turnaround: 1–3 days

    from 7500 to 26000 RUB

    A cracked screen, stripes, dark patches, a pressure mark from a closed lid. The panel is replaced as a whole; you can have the old one back if you ask.

    Warranty: 6 monthsCommon repairPart required

  • Keyboard replacement

    Turnaround: 1–4 days

    from 4500 to 12000 RUB

    Keys sticking or not registering, usually after a spill. If the liquid reached the board we diagnose first: the keyboard is rarely the only casualty.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

  • Battery replacement

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 2 days

    from 4200 to 13000 RUB

    Runs under an hour, cuts out halfway through the charge, or has swollen and is pushing the case apart. A swollen one comes out the same day — that is not something to live with.

    Warranty: 6 monthsCommon repairPart required

  • Power connector replacement

    Turnaround: 1–3 days

    from 3800 to 7000 RUB

    Will not charge, the plug wobbles, the indicator flickers when the cable moves. The connector is desoldered and replaced, and the board pads are rebuilt where needed.

    Warranty: 6 months

  • Motherboard repair

    Turnaround: 3–10 days

    from 6500 RUB

    Board-level work under the microscope: power rails, short circuits, the aftermath of a spill. It will not start, it trips protection, one spot gets hot. What burned out decides the price, which is why there is no upper figure here.

    Warranty: 3 monthsPriced after diagnostics

Desktops

Bring the tower only. The monitor, keyboard and mouse tell us nothing and are not worth carrying.

Bench: Computer bench

  • Cleaning and service

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 1 day

    from 2500 to 4000 RUB

    Dust out of the heatsinks and the power supply, fresh paste on the processor, every fan checked. Worth doing every couple of years even on a healthy machine.

    Warranty: 3 monthsCommon repair

  • Power supply replacement

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 2 days

    from 3500 to 9000 RUB

    Starts every other time, reboots under load, smells of burning. We size the new unit with headroom rather than matching the old one for the sake of it.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

  • Dead machine fault-finding

    Turnaround: 1–4 days

    from 3000 RUB

    No start, no picture, a black screen with the fans spinning. We strip it back one component at a time until the culprit shows itself, and only then price the work.

    Warranty: 3 monthsPriced after diagnostics

  • Operating system reinstall

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 1 day

    from 2500 to 3500 RUB

    Files kept: your data goes onto a separate disk first, then the system and drivers go on. We do not install pirated builds.

    Warranty: 1 month

Phones

Simple jobs are done while you wait, queue and stock permitting. Anything touching the board stays with us for a few days.

Bench: Mobile bench

  • Screen replacement

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 2 days

    from 4500 to 29000 RUB

    Broken glass, stripes, part of the surface not responding. The range is wide: a flagship display module costs half a phone, an ordinary one costs about as much as dinner.

    Warranty: 6 monthsCommon repairPart required

  • Battery replacement

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 1 day

    from 2800 to 8000 RUB

    Flat by lunchtime, dies in the cold or at twenty per cent. We fit a new one and load-test it, rather than trusting the figure in the settings screen.

    Warranty: 6 monthsCommon repairPart required

  • Charging port replacement

    Turnaround: 1–2 days

    from 3200 to 7000 RUB

    The cable only holds at an angle, charges intermittently, is not seen by a computer. A pocketful of lint is often the whole problem, and if so we will say so.

    Warranty: 6 months

  • Board cleaning after liquid damage

    Turnaround: 2–5 days

    from 4800 RUB

    Teardown, ultrasonic bath, corrosion removed, tracks rebuilt. The sooner it arrives the cheaper it ends up, and the prognosis here is always a careful one.

    Warranty: 3 monthsPriced after diagnostics

  • Back glass replacement

    Turnaround: 1–2 days

    from 3000 to 11000 RUB

    Cracked glass on the back. The old one comes off with a laser, the new one goes on with fresh sealant — though that does not restore factory water resistance, and we do not pretend it does.

    Warranty: 3 monthsPart required

  • Camera or camera glass replacement

    Turnaround: 1–2 days

    from 2600 to 9500 RUB

    Hazy shots, a blot in the frame, no focus, cracked glass over the camera bump. Sometimes only the glass needs changing, which is noticeably cheaper.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

Tablets

Almost always slower than phones: glued cases, large panels, and a day under the press after reassembly.

Bench: Mobile bench

  • Glass and touchscreen replacement

    Turnaround: 2–4 days

    from 5500 to 19000 RUB

    Cracked glass, patches that ignore your finger. If the picture is intact we change the glass alone; if there are stripes underneath, the whole module has to go.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

  • Battery replacement

    Turnaround: 1–3 days

    from 4200 to 10000 RUB

    A tablet that lasts half a day instead of a week in a drawer. The battery is glued to the case, so the teardown is careful and unhurried.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

  • Charging port replacement

    Turnaround: 1–3 days

    from 3600 to 7500 RUB

    Will not charge, or charges in one position only. On a tablet the port is usually soldered to the board, so this is iron work rather than swapping a ribbon.

    Warranty: 6 months

Game consoles

We take home consoles, handhelds, and controllers on their own.

Bench: Console and audio bench

  • Cleaning and thermal pads

    Turnaround: 1–2 days

    from 3200 to 5000 RUB

    Roars like a hairdryer, shuts down mid-game, blows hot air out the back. Cleaned, new paste and pads, then an hour under load to be sure.

    Warranty: 3 monthsCommon repair

  • HDMI connector replacement

    Turnaround: 2–5 days

    from 5500 to 9000 RUB

    No picture on any television, bent pins in the socket. The classic outcome of somebody tripping over a plugged-in cable. Done under the microscope.

    Warranty: 3 months

  • Disc drive repair or replacement

    Turnaround: 2–6 days

    from 4500 to 11000 RUB

    Will not read discs, grinds, refuses to take them in or give them back. Sometimes a new laser assembly is enough, sometimes only a whole drive will do.

    Warranty: 6 monthsPart required

  • Controller repair

    Turnaround: usually the same day, at most 2 days

    from 1800 to 3500 RUB

    A stick that drifts on its own, a sticking trigger, a pad that will not hold charge. We replace the whole stick module: cleaning it with alcohol buys a week and then comes back.

    Warranty: 3 monthsCommon repair

Headphones and speakers

Over-ear headphones and portable speakers, yes. Fully wireless earbuds, almost never: they are glued shut and opening them is what kills them.

Bench: Console and audio bench

  • Jack or cable replacement

    Turnaround: 1–3 days

    from 1900 to 4000 RUB

    One channel only, crackling when the cable moves, a loose socket. The most common and the cheapest job on this bench.

    Warranty: 3 months

  • Portable speaker board repair

    Turnaround: 3–7 days

    from 3500 RUB

    Dead, hot while charging, distorting at volume. Usually the power controller or a swollen cell inside is to blame.

    Warranty: 3 monthsPriced after diagnostics

  • Headband and hinge repair

    Turnaround: 2–5 days

    from 2200 to 5000 RUB

    A cracked cup mount, a loose slider, a wire snapped inside the headband. We print the missing part when there is nowhere left to buy it.

    Warranty: 3 months

Treat the catalogue as a way to judge the order of magnitude before you leave the house. The binding figure comes after diagnostics: it never rises above the one you were quoted, and if something else surfaces mid-repair we call and ask first.

What we do not repair

A short list, so that nothing is carried across town for nothing.

Televisions and monitors
Their panels are not sold one at a time, and board repair nearly always costs more than a new set. Taking the job on knowing that outcome would not be honest.Where to go instead: Try a service desk attached to an electronics retailer; they sometimes have panels to swap in.
Large home appliances
Washing machines, fridges, dishwashers. A different trade, different tools and a different size of doorway.
Electric scooters and bikes
Because of the batteries. A multi-kilowatt-hour lithium pack in a cramped workshop is a fire risk we are not willing to carry.
Unlocking and passcode bypass
We remove neither account locks nor forgotten passcodes. It is not a question of skill: a shop that takes such work on is usually working on devices that belong to somebody else.Where to go instead: Go to the manufacturer with your proof of purchase; that is the only lawful route.
Data recovery from damaged drives
Opening a drive needs a clean room, or dust finishes what the failure started. We have no such room, and pretending otherwise would be expensive for you.Where to go instead: You need a specialist laboratory. Above all, stop powering the drive up: every attempt lowers the odds.

What you will be asked at intake

The fuller your answers to these — in the chat or at the counter — the quicker the intake and the better idea the bench has of where to start.

  • What is the device, and roughly what year is it?
  • What happened, and when did it start — all at once or gradually?
  • Has it been dropped, or had liquid in it? If so, how long ago and what was done afterwards?
  • Does it power up? What shows on the screen, is there any sound, does the case get warm?
  • Has anyone opened it up or changed parts before?
  • Does the fault happen every time or now and then? If now and then, under what conditions?
  • Is there a backup of your data?
  • Do you know the device passcode? We need it to verify the repair afterwards.
