Each of these services addresses a different category of problem. In the sections below, we break down every one — what goes wrong, what it costs in Dhaka, what you can do yourself, and when to call a professional.

2. Laptop Repair in Dhaka — What Breaks and What It Costs

Laptops are the most common devices we service. In Dhaka's heat, dust, and unstable power environment, laptops degrade faster than in most cities. Here are the most frequent failures we see:

Screen replacement

The #1 laptop repair in Dhaka. A cracked or flickering screen costs BDT 3,500–9,000 depending on size and panel type (HD TN vs FHD IPS). MacBook screens run BDT 18,000–45,000. Before replacing, we verify the issue is actually the panel — display cables and GPU faults can mimic a broken screen.

For popular models like HP 15, Lenovo IdeaPad, and Dell Inspiron, we keep screens in stock and complete same-day replacement. For ultrabooks and specialty panels (OLED, touchscreen, 2K/4K), delivery takes 1–3 business days.

Pro tip: Before paying for a screen replacement, connect an external monitor via HDMI. If the external display works, the issue is your screen or display cable — not your GPU or motherboard. This simple test can save you thousands of taka in unnecessary motherboard diagnosis.

Battery replacement

After 1.5–2.5 years of daily use, most laptop batteries hold less than 70% capacity. Replacement costs BDT 2,500–6,000 for standard laptops, BDT 5,000–15,000 for MacBooks. Warning: cheap aftermarket batteries from IDB Bazar can swell and damage your motherboard.

How to check if you need a replacement: Open Command Prompt and run powercfg /batteryreport. If "Full Charge Capacity" is below 60% of "Design Capacity," it's time. BAYAS runs this check for free during any home visit.

Dhaka-specific warning: We see swollen batteries more frequently in Dhaka than in cooler cities. The combination of high ambient temperatures and frequent charging cycles accelerates cell degradation. If your laptop's trackpad feels lifted or the bottom case is bulging, stop using the device immediately — swollen batteries can ignite. WhatsApp BAYAS for an emergency battery replacement.

Keyboard replacement

Spilled tea, dust accumulation, and humidity kill keyboards faster in Dhaka than anywhere else. Standard replacement: BDT 1,800–4,500. MacBook keyboards: BDT 5,000–18,000.

Important note: On many modern laptops, the keyboard is riveted to the palm rest, meaning you replace the entire top case, not just the keyboard. This increases cost by BDT 1,000–2,500 but is unavoidable on models like newer HP Pavilion, Lenovo IdeaPad, and Dell Inspiron series. We always confirm this before starting work — no surprises.

DIY tip for minor issues: If only 1–3 keys are damaged, individual key repair costs BDT 500–1,000. If keys are sticking due to dust or spills, a careful cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) can sometimes restore function without replacement.

Charging port repair

A loose or dead charging port is often a simple connector replacement — BDT 1,500–3,500. Many shops will quote for motherboard replacement when a BDT 2,000 connector fix is all that's needed.

Motherboard chip-level repair

This is where BAYAS stands out. Most Dhaka shops replace entire motherboards (BDT 15,000–40,000+) when a single component has failed. Our chip-level repair — replacing individual MOSFETs, capacitors, and ICs — costs BDT 3,000–12,000 and preserves your data.

3. Desktop PC Repair and Custom Builds

Desktops are easier and cheaper to repair than laptops — every component is replaceable. Whether you need a repair or want to build a new machine, Dhaka has good options.

Common desktop repairs

Problem	Typical cause	BAYAS cost
Won't turn on	PSU failure, dead motherboard	BDT 1,500–8,000
Random shutdowns	Overheating, failing PSU, bad RAM	BDT 1,500–5,000
Slow performance	HDD failure, malware, insufficient RAM	BDT 1,500–6,000
No display	GPU failure, RAM seating, monitor cable	BDT 500–15,000
Blue screen (BSOD)	Driver conflict, bad sectors, RAM failure	BDT 1,500–4,000

Building a custom desktop in Dhaka

A custom-built desktop delivers 30–80% more performance per taka than a pre-built machine. Key considerations for Dhaka:

Power supply: Never cheap out. A quality 80 Plus Bronze PSU (BDT 3,500–8,000) protects against Dhaka's voltage spikes. A generic BDT 1,500 PSU can fry your entire system. We have seen cheap PSUs take out motherboards, GPUs, and storage drives during voltage surges.
Cooling: Dhaka's 35°C+ ambient temperatures require good case airflow. Budget for at least two case fans. A desktop case with multiple fans handles Dhaka's heat far better than a cramped laptop chassis.
UPS protection: Every desktop in Dhaka needs a UPS. A 650 VA unit costs BDT 3,500–6,000 and gives you 5–15 minutes to save work during load-shedding. For gaming PCs with dedicated GPUs, you need 1,200 VA or higher.
Component sourcing: The three main hubs in Dhaka are IDB Bhaban (Agargaon), Multiplan Center (Elephant Road), and Bashundhara City (Panthapath). IDB Bhaban has the widest selection and most competitive prices. Bashundhara City has branded stores like StarTech and Ryans with better warranty support.
Humidity protection: If your desktop is in a room without air conditioning, open the case every 6 months and reseat the RAM, GPU, and power connectors. Dhaka's humidity corrodes connectors over time, causing intermittent boot failures.

Assembly tips for first-time builders:

Install the I/O shield before mounting the motherboard — you can't fit it afterward
Use a pea-sized dot of thermal paste in the center of the CPU — the cooler's pressure does the spreading
Install RAM in slots 2 and 4 (from CPU side) for dual-channel mode
Test before closing the case: verify all fans spin, BIOS appears, and RAM is detected

4. MacBook Repair in Dhaka — The Apple Challenge

Apple repairs are consistently more expensive due to proprietary parts and specialized tools. In Dhaka, finding a technician who can handle chip-level MacBook work is even harder.

What BAYAS handles

Screen replacement: MacBook Air M1/M2 — BDT 25,000–35,000; MacBook Pro — BDT 30,000–45,000. We source genuine Apple panels — no aftermarket copies.
Battery replacement: MacBook Air — BDT 8,000–12,000; MacBook Pro — BDT 10,000–15,000. Genuine Apple cells with proper adhesive.
Keyboard repair: Full top case replacement — BDT 8,000–18,000. Butterfly keyboards are at the high end; newer scissor switches are cheaper.
Logic board repair: Chip-level work including BGA reflow, component replacement, and ultrasonic cleaning. BDT 5,000–30,000 depending on damage.
USB-C / Thunderbolt port repair: BDT 5,000–8,000. Common on frequently-charged MacBooks.

Why Apple repairs cost more: Apple uses proprietary components that are not available in the open market. Screens, batteries, and keyboards must be sourced from Apple or certified suppliers. The repair process requires specialized tools — Pentalobe screwdrivers, adhesive removal kits, and calibration software. BAYAS keeps common MacBook parts in stock to reduce turnaround time.

Water damage — the critical first hour

Water damage is the most time-sensitive repair we handle. A MacBook recovered within 1 hour usually survives. One that waited a week often doesn't. On Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4), the SSD is paired to the logic board — if the board dies, your data is gone.

Critical guide: MacBook water damage — the first 60 minutes decide everything

5. Data Recovery — When Your Files Are at Risk

Data loss is the most stressful computer problem because it's irreversible. In Dhaka, where backup habits are poor and power instability is high, we handle 20–30 data recovery cases every month.

Common data loss scenarios in Dhaka

Hard drive crash from power surge: Dhaka's voltage spikes kill HDD controller boards. Recovery rate: 70–90% if the drive is brought in quickly.
Accidental deletion: Quick action is key. The more you use the drive after deletion, the lower the recovery chances. Stop using the drive immediately.
Formatted drive: Usually recoverable if no new data was written. Recovery rate: 80–95%.
SSD failure: SSDs are harder to recover because of wear-leveling and TRIM. Recovery rate: 40–70%. Prevention is especially important for SSD users.
Ransomware attack: Files are encrypted. Recovery depends on the ransomware variant. Some have known decryption keys. Prevention (offline backups) is the only reliable defense.
Physical damage: Dropped laptop, flood damage, fire damage. Requires cleanroom work. Recovery rate varies widely — 30–80% depending on severity.

The BAYAS data recovery process

Drive imaging: We create a sector-by-sector copy of the damaged drive. All recovery work happens on the copy — preserving the original.
Analysis: We determine the type and extent of damage — logical (file system), firmware, or physical.
Recovery: Using professional tools (PC-3000, DeepSpar), we extract data from the image.
Verification: We verify recovered files are intact and usable — not just file names.
Delivery: Data is returned on a new drive or uploaded to your cloud storage.

Typical turnaround: 2–5 business days for standard cases. Emergency service available for critical business data.

What to do when data loss happens

Stop using the computer immediately. Every second of operation can overwrite recoverable data.
Do not run recovery software. DIY tools can overwrite the very data you're trying to save.
Do not open the hard drive. A single dust particle can scratch the platters and destroy all data.
Contact BAYAS. We image the drive first, then attempt recovery on the image — preserving the original.

6. Printer Repair Services

Printers are office workhorses that often get neglected until they stop working. Common issues in Dhaka:

Paper jams: Usually caused by humidity-warped paper or worn rollers. Fix: BDT 500–1,500.
Faded or streaky prints: Clogged print heads (inkjet) or worn drum (laser). Cleaning: BDT 500–1,000. Drum replacement: BDT 2,000–5,000.
Connectivity issues: WiFi printer not connecting, driver conflicts. Usually software — BDT 500–1,000.
Not feeding paper: Worn pickup rollers or separation pad. BDT 800–2,000.

Service page: Printer repair service in Dhaka

Dhaka tip: Keep your printer in an air-conditioned room if possible. Humidity is the #1 killer of printer components in Bangladesh — it warps paper, corrodes contacts, and clogs ink cartridges.

7. UPS Repair — Keeping Your Power Backup Alive

In Dhaka, a UPS is not optional — it's essential infrastructure. Load-shedding, voltage spikes, and power surges can destroy your computer in seconds. But UPS units themselves degrade fast in Dhaka's conditions.

Why UPS units fail faster in Dhaka

Frequent cycling: 6–12 power cuts per day in summer means the battery never fully recharges between cuts.
Heat: SLA batteries rated for 3–5 years at 25°C last only 1.5–2.5 years at Dhaka's 35°C ambient.
Cheap replacement batteries: Recycled SLA cells sold at IDB Bazar fail in 4 months. A genuine battery costs BDT 1,400–2,800 and lasts 2–3 years.
Voltage instability: Even on mains, Dhaka voltage swings from 160V to 280V, burning out AVR transformers.

UPS repair costs in Dhaka

Service	BAYAS total cost
Battery replacement (12V 7Ah genuine)	BDT 1,900–2,700
Battery replacement (12V 9Ah genuine)	BDT 2,300–3,300
Fan replacement	BDT 800–1,100
Charger PCB repair	BDT 2,000–4,500
Inverter board repair	BDT 2,800–6,500

8. Networking and WiFi Setup

With remote work and online education now permanent fixtures in Dhaka life, a reliable network is no longer a luxury. Common networking problems we solve:

Slow WiFi: Usually caused by router placement, channel congestion, or outdated firmware. BDT 1,000–3,000 to diagnose and fix. Many Dhaka apartments have dozens of overlapping WiFi networks — proper channel selection alone can double your speed.
Dead zones in large apartments: Mesh WiFi systems or access points solve this. BDT 5,000–15,000 for a complete solution. We recommend mesh systems for apartments above 1,500 sq ft.
Office LAN setup: Structured cabling, switch configuration, and printer sharing. BDT 3,000–15,000 depending on office size. Proper cable management prevents the tangled mess we see in most Dhaka offices.
WiFi security: Many Dhaka offices run open or WEP-secured networks. We upgrade to WPA3 and configure guest networks to keep your business data separate from visitor access.
Router configuration: Port forwarding for CCTV systems, VPN setup for remote access, and bandwidth management for offices with limited internet connections.

Dhaka networking tip: If you're using a single router for a multi-room apartment, the signal will weaken significantly through concrete walls — which are standard in Dhaka construction. A mesh system with 2–3 nodes is the most reliable solution for full coverage.

9. Computer Upgrades — Getting More Life from Your Machine

Before you buy a new computer, consider upgrading your current one. The right upgrade can make a 5-year-old machine feel new for a fraction of the cost.

The upgrades that matter most in 2026

SSD upgrade (BDT 2,500–12,000): The single most transformative upgrade. Boot times drop from 2–5 minutes to 15–30 seconds. Applications launch instantly. If your computer still boots from a spinning hard drive, this is the first thing to do.

RAM upgrade (BDT 2,000–5,500): If you regularly have 10+ browser tabs open or use memory-hungry applications, going from 4 GB to 8 GB or 16 GB makes a dramatic difference.

GPU upgrade (BDT 16,000–65,000): For gaming, video editing, or 3D work. Not needed for office work — modern CPUs have capable integrated graphics.

Thermal paste refresh (BDT 1,500–2,500): In Dhaka's heat, thermal paste dries in 12–18 months. Repasting drops CPU temperatures by 8–15°C and prevents throttling.

10. Preventive Maintenance — The Dhaka Survival Guide

Prevention is always cheaper than repair — especially in Dhaka's harsh environment. Here is what every computer owner should do:

Monthly tasks (free)

Run Disk Cleanup on Windows or clear caches on macOS
Check startup programs — new software loves to add itself
Verify your backup is working (restore a test file)
Check for Windows/macOS updates

Quarterly tasks (15–30 minutes)

Clean dust from vents with compressed air (more often in Dhaka)
Check hard drive health with CrystalDiskInfo (Windows) or DriveDx (macOS)
Review installed software — uninstall what you don't use
Test your UPS by unplugging it with equipment connected

Annual tasks (1–2 hours)

Repaste CPU and GPU (especially in Dhaka's heat)
Clean inside the case — remove all dust buildup
Check and replace UPS battery if it's over 2 years old
Review and update your backup strategy
Check CMOS battery on machines over 3 years old

11. How to Choose a Trustworthy Repair Service

The Dhaka computer repair market is unregulated. Here is how to protect yourself:

The 7 checks before handing over your device

Diagnosis in front of you. A legitimate technician runs tests visibly and explains results. If they take your device to a back room, walk away.
Transparent pricing. Get a written quote before work begins. BAYAS quotes on WhatsApp before we arrive — no surprises.
Written warranty. Verbal promises are worthless. BAYAS provides a 30-day written warranty on every repair.
Genuine parts with invoice. Demand the retail invoice in your name. If they refuse, the part is likely counterfeit.
Physical address. A workshop with full-time technicians signals investment. Freelancers can change their WhatsApp number in 30 seconds.
Chip-level capability. Can they repair at component level, or do they just swap entire boards? The difference is BDT 3,000 vs BDT 20,000 for the same fix.
Online transparency. Check their website for real content, real pricing, and real photos — not stock images.

Comprehensive guide: How to choose a computer repair service without getting ripped off

Red flags to watch for

"We need to keep it overnight for testing" on a basic fault
No diagnostic fee credited toward repair
Refusing to show the replacement part before installing
"Warranty void if opened" stickers (meaningless in Bangladesh)
Quotes that change after work begins
Only a Facebook page, no website or physical address

12. DIY Troubleshooting — What You Can Fix Yourself

Not every computer problem needs a technician. Here are the most common issues you can diagnose — and sometimes fix — on your own:

Laptop not turning on

Try a different wall outlet
Check if the charger LED is on
Hold the power button for 30 seconds with no power source (drains residual charge)
Try an external monitor (rules out screen vs motherboard)
Reseat the RAM if you're comfortable opening the laptop

Full guide: Laptop not turning on? 7 things to check first

Computer running slow

Check startup programs — disable everything you don't need at boot
Free up disk space — keep at least 15% of your system drive free
Run a malware scan with Malwarebytes
Check RAM usage — if above 80% at idle, you need more RAM
Check CPU temperature — if it's throttling, you need a thermal service

Full guide: Computer slow? 10 easy fixes that actually work

WiFi not working

Restart your router (unplug for 30 seconds)
Forget and reconnect to the network

Check if other devices can connect (isolates router vs device issue)
Try changing the router's WiFi channel

Printer not printing

Check for paper jams — open all access panels
Verify the printer is set as default in Windows
Restart the print spooler service
Reinstall the printer driver from the manufacturer's website
Check ink/toner levels
