FAQs for UNCC students

Is there a student discount for UNC Charlotte students?

Yes. Show your UNC Charlotte 49ers student ID at Charlotte Tech Repair and receive 10% off any repair. No coupon needed.

How far is Charlotte Tech Repair from UNC Charlotte?

We are 0.8 miles west of the UNCC main entrance on W.T. Harris Blvd — a 5-minute drive or short Uber/Lyft from any campus building. Walk-ins welcome.

Why not just use campus tech support?

Campus tech services are a reasonable first call for software and account issues, but most do not handle cracked screens, liquid damage, or board-level repairs in-house. We do those repairs same day, offer a loaner laptop while yours is in (deposit applies toward your repair), and back every repair with a 90-day workmanship warranty.

Can you fix a MacBook that got water or liquid damage?

Yes. We perform board-level micro-soldering to repair liquid-damaged MacBooks, replacing only the failed components rather than the entire logic board. This is far cheaper than a manufacturer's flat-rate board swap — and your data stays intact.

Do you offer loaner laptops while my laptop is being repaired?

Yes. Borrow a laptop while yours is with us — leave a deposit that goes toward your repair, returned if we can't fix your device. Windows and macOS options, subject to availability.

Can you repair a PS5 HDMI port same day?

Yes. PS5 HDMI port micro-soldering is $109. Drop off by 5 PM and it's ready that evening. After 5 PM, ready the next morning.

Can you recover data from a dead or broken device near UNC Charlotte?

Yes. Charlotte Tech Repair has recovered data from dead, broken, water-damaged, and crashed phones, MacBooks, laptops, and hard drives. Data recovery starts at $99. We are 0.8 miles from UNC Charlotte at 1001 E W.T. Harris Blvd.

What is the 12-Month Screen Breakage Guarantee?

On eligible screen repairs, if you crack your screen again within 12 months we replace it free. Students crack screens more than most — this is our way of making sure a second accident doesn't cost you twice.
