Laptop Repair Cost in Dhaka (2026): A Complete Price Guide
11 June 2026 · 8 min read · BAYAS Editorial
If you have a broken laptop in Dhaka, the first question is almost always: "What will this cost?"
We get this question on WhatsApp 30 to 40 times a day at BAYAS. After eight years of repairing laptops across every Dhaka zone — from Uttara to Old Dhaka, from gaming rigs in Bashundhara to office notebooks in Motijheel — we can give you real numbers, not estimates from a foreign blog.
This guide covers the five most common laptop repairs we perform every week, with the price range you should expect in Dhaka in June 2026.
1. Laptop screen replacement — BDT 4,500 to 25,000+
The screen is the most frequently damaged laptop component. A single drop, pressure in a bag, or a hinge-catch while opening can crack an LCD or LED panel.
| Screen type | Parts cost (Dhaka retail) | Labor at BAYAS | Total range | |---|---|---|---| | Standard 15.6" HD (1366×768) | BDT 3,000 – 5,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 4,500 – 6,500 | | 15.6" Full HD IPS (1920×1080) | BDT 5,000 – 9,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 6,500 – 10,500 | | 14" Full HD (ultrabook, Dell/Lenovo) | BDT 7,000 – 14,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 8,500 – 15,500 | | Retina MacBook Pro/Air (2016+) | BDT 18,000 – 35,000+ | BDT 2,000 | BDT 20,000 – 37,000+ | | High-refresh gaming (144Hz, 300Hz) | BDT 12,000 – 25,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 13,500 – 26,500 |
What affects the price:
- Whether your panel is glossy or matte
- Resolution and refresh rate
- OLED vs LED vs IPS
- Touchscreen vs non-touch
- Brand: HP and Dell panels are widely available in Dhaka. ASUS, MSI, and Razer panels often need to be ordered.
BAYAS practice: We quote a specific panel part number on WhatsApp before the visit. You see the exact price. No "surprise increase" after opening the laptop.
2. Laptop battery replacement — BDT 2,500 to 20,000
Batteries degrade predictably. After 300 to 500 charge cycles — about 18 to 24 months of daily use in Dhaka — most laptop batteries hold less than 80% of their original capacity. Heat accelerates this.
| Battery type | Parts cost | Labor | Total | |---|---|---|---| | Standard removable (older HP/Dell) | BDT 1,800 – 3,500 | BDT 800 | BDT 2,600 – 4,300 | | Internal flat-pack (modern ultrabook) | BDT 3,000 – 7,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 4,500 – 8,500 | | MacBook Air (2018+) glued battery | BDT 7,000 – 12,000 | BDT 2,500 | BDT 9,500 – 14,500 | | MacBook Pro (2016+) glued battery | BDT 10,000 – 18,000 | BDT 2,500 | BDT 12,500 – 20,500 | | Gaming laptop (4–6 cell) | BDT 4,000 – 9,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 5,500 – 10,500 |
Critical: Do not buy a BDT 1,200 "original" battery from an unverified shop. Counterfeit laptop batteries are common in Dhaka. They swell within months and can crack the trackpad or warp the chassis. At BAYAS, every battery invoice is handed to you — warranty card, retailer name, date, and price.
3. Keyboard replacement — BDT 2,500 to 15,000
Spilled tea, worn-out keys, or a single key that stopped working. Laptop keyboards are not standardised — every model has its own part number.
| Keyboard type | Parts | Labor | Total | |---|---|---|---| | Basic snap-in keyboard (older Lenovo/Dell) | BDT 1,500 – 3,000 | BDT 1,000 | BDT 2,500 – 4,000 | | Top-case-integrated keyboard (modern HP) | BDT 3,000 – 6,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 4,500 – 7,500 | | Backlit keyboard (gaming, ultrabook) | BDT 4,000 – 8,000 | BDT 1,500 | BDT 5,500 – 9,500 | | MacBook butterfly/Magic Keyboard top case | BDT 8,000 – 15,000 | BDT 3,000 | BDT 11,000 – 18,000 |
MacBook keyboards are particularly expensive because on Retina models (2016 onward) the keyboard is riveted to the top case — the entire palm rest must be replaced as a single assembly. Apple's service program for affected butterfly-keyboard models ran for four years from purchase date; if you are past that window, third-party repair is the only option.
4. Thermal repaste and fan service — BDT 1,500 to 3,000
This is the single best value laptop service in Dhaka. A tube of thermal paste costs BDT 400. The skill to apply it properly — disassemble the cooling assembly, clean old dried paste, apply fresh paste, reseat the heatsink, and verify fan speeds — is what you pay for.
When to repaste:
- Laptop age over 12 months (Dhaka heat dries paste faster)
- Fan spins loud even at idle
- CPU or GPU temperature exceeds 85°C under load
- Random shutdowns during gaming or rendering
BAYAS thermal service includes:
- Disassembly and old paste removal (isopropyl alcohol)
- Fresh thermal paste application (Arctic MX-4 or equivalent)
- Fan and vent cleaning
- Fan speed verification and curve adjustment
- 10-minute stress test before reassembly
Price: BDT 1,500 — 3,000 depending on laptop complexity. Gaming laptops with multiple fans and heat pipes take longer but deliver the biggest temperature drops — often 10 to 18°C cooler.
5. Motherboard / chip-level repair — BDT 3,000 to 25,000+
When your laptop shows no signs of life — no LED, no fan, no beep — the fault is almost certainly on the motherboard. This is where BAYAS's chip-level capability makes the difference.
| Fault | Typical repair | Price range | |---|---|---| | DC jack / charging port | Solder replacement | BDT 1,500 – 3,000 | | Power IC (MOSFET) short | Component replacement | BDT 3,000 – 6,000 | | BIOS chip corruption | Reflash or chip replacement | BDT 2,500 – 5,000 | | RAM slot / DIMM fault | Slot rework or board-level trace repair | BDT 3,000 – 8,000 | | GPU / PCH reflow or reball | BGA rework | BDT 5,000 – 12,000 | | Water damage recovery | Ultrasonic clean + component repair | BDT 4,500 – 15,000+ | | Full logic board rebuild | Multiple IC replacements | BDT 12,000 – 25,000+ |
Not every board can be saved. If the main processor (CPU/SoC) is shorted, cost of replacement often exceeds the laptop's value. BAYAS diagnoses this honestly — we never charge for a board repair that we cannot complete.
The BAYAS pricing model
Every BAYAS job follows the same structure:
- Home visit + diagnosis — BDT 700 to 1,200 depending on your Dhaka zone. This fee is credited toward the repair if you proceed.
- Parts — sourced from authorized Dhaka retailers (StarTech, Ryans, Global Brand, Computer Mania). You get the retail invoice in your name.
- Labor — capped per job type, quoted before work begins.
- 30-day workmanship warranty — in writing. If the same fault recurs, we fix it free.
No hidden charges. No "discovered additional problems" fee surprise. No counterfeit cells or fake panels.
Why Dhaka prices differ from international numbers
If you search "laptop screen replacement cost" on Google, you will see USD 50 to 300 — roughly BDT 6,000 to 36,000. But that assumes US/EU parts pricing and labor rates. Dhaka is different:
- Parts are imported — most laptop panels, batteries, and keyboards arrive via China or Singapore distributors. Currency fluctuation and customs duties affect final retail.
- Labor is skilled but affordable — a chip-level technician in Dhaka charges less per hour than equivalents abroad, but the skill level (BGA rework, board-level diagnostics) is identical.
- Genuine vs compatible — the market offers "compatible" (generic) parts at 50 to 70% of original cost. We use original or grade-A parts and disclose the difference.
When to repair vs replace
A rough rule we use at BAYAS: if the repair cost exceeds 50 to 60% of the laptop's current resale value, replacement may be the better financial decision. For example:
| Laptop age | Typical resale value | Repair tipping point | |---|---|---| | 1–2 years | 60–80% of purchase price | Repair almost always worthwhile | | 3–4 years | 30–50% of purchase price | Evaluate per repair | | 5+ years | Below 30% | Major repairs (board, screen) may exceed value |
But there is a human factor: if the laptop has sentimental value, contains irreplaceable data, or is perfectly adequate for your work except for one fault — repair it. We have recovered 10-year-old MacBooks for customers who simply preferred their machine.
