Laptops are essential tools for nearly everyone in Kota — coaching students need them for online tests, video lectures, and assignments; professionals use them for everything from accounts to design. When a laptop develops a problem, the disruption can be significant. At Prince Mobile Service Centre in Keshavpura, we have been repairing laptops alongside mobile phones for years, and we cover all the common brands: HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MSI, Apple MacBook, and more.
What We Repair
Screen Replacement
A cracked or blank laptop screen is one of the most common repairs we handle. Whether the panel was cracked in a bag, has lines running across it, or has simply stopped displaying after a hinge stress, we stock or can source display panels for most 14-inch and 15.6-inch laptops in FHD and HD resolution. Touch-screen panels are also available for popular models.
Battery Not Charging or Poor Battery Life
A laptop battery that dies within an hour of unplugging, or a laptop that only works when plugged in, almost certainly needs a battery replacement. We test the battery health first — many customers come in expecting a battery replacement but actually have a faulty DC-in jack or charging IC, which is a different and sometimes cheaper repair.
Slow Laptop — SSD and RAM Upgrades
This is one of the most satisfying repairs we do. Upgrading a spinning hard drive to a solid-state drive (SSD) transforms the feel of an older laptop — Windows boots in seconds instead of minutes, applications open nearly instantly. Adding RAM is equally impactful for students running multiple browser tabs alongside study software. We handle the upgrade and data migration so your files, applications, and settings carry over cleanly.
No Power / Not Turning On
A laptop that shows no response when the power button is pressed could have a dead battery, a faulty charger, a failed DC jack, or in more serious cases a board-level fault. We work through the diagnosis systematically before recommending any part replacement.
Overheating and Fan Noise
Kota's summers push room temperatures high, and a laptop running in a warm room with a dust-clogged cooling system will throttle itself, slow down, and eventually shut off as a safety measure. We open the laptop, clean the cooling fins thoroughly, and replace the thermal paste on the processor — this alone can drop temperatures by 15 to 20 degrees Celsius and restore full performance.
Keyboard Replacement
Spilled chai on the keyboard is a classic Kota repair story. Sticky keys, keys that do not register, or a keyboard that types random characters after a liquid spill can often be resolved with a full keyboard replacement, which is a relatively affordable fix on most laptops.
Charging Port (DC Jack)
A loose or broken DC charging port is extremely common on laptops — the port takes mechanical stress every time the charger is plugged in and out. If you have to hold the charger at a specific angle for the battery to charge, the DC jack is the likely culprit.
Typical Laptop Repair Costs in Kota

These are ranges based on typical 2026 Kota prices. The exact figure depends on your laptop model, part availability, and the specific fault. We confirm the price after a free check-up — you decide whether to proceed before we do any paid work.
MacBook Repairs
MacBook screen replacements, battery replacements, and keyboard repairs are all jobs we take on. MacBooks require more careful handling than Windows laptops because of their construction, and genuine Apple parts are premium priced — we will give you an honest assessment of original vs compatible part options for your specific MacBook model and age.
Should You Repair or Buy a New Laptop?
This is a question we answer honestly for every customer. A two-year-old laptop that needs a screen replacement or an SSD upgrade is almost certainly worth repairing — the cost is a fraction of a new machine and you keep a device you are familiar with. A five-year-old laptop with a motherboard fault that costs nearly as much as a budget new laptop to fix is a harder call, and we will tell you so plainly rather than pushing you into an expensive repair that is not in your best interest.
Bring your laptop to our Keshavpura shop and we will diagnose it for free. Most screen, battery, and performance upgrades are completed within the same day or next day, depending on part availability.
