Dell Laptop & Computer Repair in Ottawa
XPS, Inspiron, Latitude, Vostro, Precision, and Dell desktops too. The diagnosis is free, you get a firm quote before we order any part, and pickup and return in Ottawa is free.
Free diagnosis · Labour from $40 · Independent repair, not a Dell-authorized centre
Dell laptops fail in fairly predictable ways, and knowing them is what makes a repair quick. Inspiron lids crack at the hinge, XPS batteries swell and lift the trackpad, Latitude charging ports wear out, and a BIOS or Dell SupportAssist update can leave a machine looping at the logo.
We're an independent Ottawa repair service, not a Dell-authorized centre. That matters if your laptop is still under Dell's warranty, in which case use Dell's own service first. For out-of-warranty machines, we typically cost less and turn the job around faster, and you deal directly with the technician doing the work.
Dell Problems We Fix
Cracked or flickering screen
Panel replacement for Inspiron, XPS, Latitude and Vostro, priced after we confirm the exact panel from your model number.
Hinge and lid damage
Loose, cracked or separating hinges, which are especially common on Inspiron. We replace or re-seat them before the casing tears.
Swollen battery / not charging
Bulging batteries lifting the trackpad, laptops stuck on 0% charging, and 'plugged in, not charging' faults.
Charging port and DC jack faults
Wobbly or intermittent charging, the adapter light flashing, or the laptop only charging at one angle. Many Dell models use a replaceable DC jack cable; if yours is soldered to the board, we'll say so up front.
Won't boot / stuck on Dell logo
Boot loops after updates, 'preparing automatic repair', black screen with fans spinning, and BIOS errors.
Slow, hot or noisy
Fan cleaning, thermal paste, SSD and RAM upgrades to make an older Dell fast again. Often cheaper than replacing it.
Dell desktops and all-in-ones
Inspiron and XPS towers, OptiPlex office PCs and all-in-ones that won't boot, have a failing drive, or have slowed to a crawl. Repaired at the workshop or on-site.

Message us on WhatsApp or call with the model and symptoms. A photo of the damage or error message speeds everything up.
Step 2: Free diagnosis and firm quote
We inspect the laptop, tell you exactly what failed and what it costs, and never order parts or start work until you approve.
Step 3: Repair, test, return
We fix it, test it, and bring it back. Pickup and return anywhere in Ottawa is free. No fix, no fee on software repairs.

Dell Laptop Repair FAQs
Are you a Dell authorized repair centre?
No, we're an independent repair service. If your Dell is still under manufacturer warranty, use Dell's own service first so you don't void it. For out-of-warranty laptops, or anything warranty doesn't cover, we're usually faster and cheaper, with a free diagnosis and a quote before any work.
How much does Dell laptop repair cost in Ottawa?
Software repairs start at $40, and screen, battery or keyboard replacement is labour from $40 plus the part. The part is what varies. We confirm it from your model number and give you a firm price before ordering anything.
Can you repair a Dell XPS?
Yes. XPS screens, batteries, SSDs and cooling are all work we do. Some XPS models have soldered RAM, which we'll tell you upfront if it affects an upgrade.
My Dell won't turn on. Can you fix it?
Often, yes. Many 'dead' Dells have a failed battery, adapter or charging port rather than a dead board. We test each in turn, and if the drive is healthy we can recover your files even when the laptop itself isn't worth repairing.
Do you repair Dell desktop computers, not just laptops?
Yes. Inspiron and XPS desktops, OptiPlex office machines and Dell all-in-ones get the same free diagnosis and quote-first pricing. For a tower you'd rather not carry, we can do the work on-site at your home or office.
Do you pick up Dell laptops?
Yes, free pickup and return anywhere in Ottawa, including Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven and Nepean. You can also drop it off at our workshop by appointment.
