Before you book
- If the lid/frame is bent, the new panel may not seat correctly. We will advise before proceeding.
- We do not wipe data as standard, but we recommend a backup where possible.
- On older models, it is common to see multiple contributing faults. We confirm any revised quote before proceeding.
- If liquid damage is found and the repair is not economically viable to proceed, an assessment fee may apply (we confirm before applying any fee).

Frequently Asked Questions
