When the laptop dies the week before finals

Coffee on the keyboard is the classic. Shut it down, don't try to charge it, and bring it over. We repair MacBooks at board level in-house, replacing the parts the liquid damaged instead of swapping the whole logic board. We don't wipe your drive to fix the board.

Windows laptops get the same care: cracked screens, dead charging and drives that stop booting. If the drive is what failed, we run data recovery in our own shop, even on machines that were dropped or soaked. The diagnostic is free, and if we can't fix it, you owe nothing.

Phone fixes that fit between lectures

Every screen we replace includes Covered Screen. Crack it again within 12 months and that next screen costs you nothing.

  • Cracked iPhone or Galaxy screens, many done in under 30 minutes
  • Batteries that quit before your last class of the day
  • Charging ports that only work at a weird angle
  • Shattered back glass from a drop on the dorm floor
  • Phones that went in the pool, plus data recovery if needed
  • Cameras that refuse to focus

Is Covered Plus worth it on a student budget?

If you've already cracked one phone this year, it might be. Covered Plus costs $5.99, $7.99 or $9.99 a month depending on what your phone is worth. A claim is $50, you get 2 a year, and it covers drops, spills, liquid, and battery or charging failures.

Two catches to know up front. Claims open 31 days after joining, and a lost or stolen phone isn't covered. We set it up when you pick up your device, and you can cancel any month.

Got a new phone? Sell the old one

That Switch from freshman year counts too. The one thing we don't buy is TVs or monitors, so the dorm TV stays with you.

Questions from UNC Charlotte

Do I need my student ID for the discount?

Yes. Show your 49ers ID at drop-off and 10% comes off the repair. It works on anything we fix.

Can I borrow a laptop while mine is in the shop?

Yes, we have loaner laptops during repairs. Ask at drop-off so you don't miss a deadline.

My paper is on a dead laptop. Can you get it back?

Often, yes. Our data recovery is done in-house, and the diagnostic is free. If we can't recover it, there's no fee.

I'm going home for the summer. Can I still use you?

Mail your device to us from anywhere in the US. We fix it and ship it back to you with a free insured return.

Can I sign up for Covered Plus and claim the same week?

No. Claims open 31 days after you join, so sign up before you need it. After that, it's $50 per claim, up to 2 a year.

Will you buy my phone if it is still on a payment plan?

Yes, financed phones are accepted. Get your offer by text, and we wipe the phone in front of you before paying.

Are you open on Sundays?

No. Hours run Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm, so Saturday is your best bet for a weekend fix.
