Laptop repair in Dhaka {#laptop-repair}
Laptop repair is the single largest category of computer service in Dhaka. Heat (35–42°C for 6+ months a year), humidity (often 80%+), frequent load-shedding voltage fluctuations, and dust accumulation create a uniquely hostile environment for laptops. The result: Bangladesh laptop owners face problems 30–50% more frequently than owners in temperate climates.
The most common laptop issues in Dhaka (in order)
- Overheating and sudden shutdown — the #1 issue, especially May–September. Caused by dust-clogged fans, dried-out thermal paste, and Dhaka's extreme heat.
- Battery degradation — typical Bangladeshi laptop battery lasts 18–24 months (vs 36–48 in cooler climates). Symptoms: short backup, swelling, sudden shutdowns.
- Screen damage — falls, pressure, hinge cracks. Common with mid-range brands (Acer, Asus, Lenovo) where the lid is plastic.
- Keyboard failure — keys not registering, sticky keys (from humidity and spills), entire keyboard dead.
- Charging issues — loose DC jack, broken charger, dead battery management chip.
- Hinge cracks — a Dhaka-specific issue. The plastic hinge mount on budget laptops cracks within 2–3 years of normal use.
- Motherboard failure — usually caused by liquid spill or voltage surge from a faulty IPS.
- Slow performance — usually software (bloatware, malware, fragmented drive) or, increasingly, a failing HDD that needs an SSD upgrade.
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth failure — usually a hardware issue after 3+ years, or driver corruption.
- No display / black screen — usually graphics chip (common on HP and older Acer) or RAM failure.
By laptop brand — what to expect
| Brand | Reliability in BD | Common issues | Repair cost (avg) | Parts availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | Medium | Hinge cracks (Pavilion series), GPU failure (older models), overheating | BDT 1,500–8,000 | Excellent — local market saturated |
| Dell | High | Battery, charger, SSD upgrade | BDT 1,500–12,000 | Excellent |
| Lenovo | High | Hinge (IdeaPad), keyboard (ThinkPad is excellent) | BDT 1,500–7,000 | Excellent |
| Asus | Medium | Screen, battery (Vivobook), hinge (TUF series) | BDT 1,500–9,000 | Good |
| Acer | Low–Medium | Hinge, overheating, motherboard (Aspire) | BDT 1,500–6,000 | Excellent (cheapest parts) |
| MSI | High | Battery, fan (gaming laptops), thermal paste | BDT 2,500–15,000 | Medium (gaming-focused) |
| MacBook | High | Battery, screen, keyboard, logic board | BDT 5,000–35,000 | Limited (imported) |
| Microsoft Surface | Medium | Screen, kickstand, battery (limited in BD) | BDT 8,000–25,000 | Limited (often sent abroad) |
| Chinese brands (Teclast, Chuwi, etc.) | Low | Power, screen, motherboard | BDT 2,000–10,000 | Very limited |

Desktop repair in Dhaka {#desktop-repair}
Desktops are less common than laptops in Dhaka households but dominate offices, schools, and gaming setups. Repair is generally easier (parts are standardized, swappable, and cheap) and faster.
The most common desktop issues
- Power supply failure — usually from voltage surge (no IPS, low-quality IPS, or generator switching). Cheap PSUs die within 1–2 years in Dhaka.
- Motherboard failure — capacitors, BIOS corruption, or just old age.
- RAM failure — usually one stick at a time, easy to diagnose with MemTest86.
- HDD failure — moving parts + heat = early death. SSDs are now essential for Dhaka desktops.
- Overheating — clogged heatsinks, dried paste, dead case fans.
- No display — GPU failure, RAM, or motherboard.
- Slow performance — usually solved by an SSD upgrade (BDT 2,500–5,000 for 500GB).
- Strange noises — fan bearings or HDD heads dying.
- USB port failure — usually physical damage or motherboard.

MacBook repair in Dhaka {#macbook-repair}
MacBook repair is a specialized field. Apple does not have an authorized service center in Bangladesh, so all MacBook work is done by independent shops. Quality varies enormously.
What can be repaired locally
- Battery replacement — BDT 8,000–18,000 depending on model. Use only high-grade cells (BAYAS uses Grade A+ cells with a 12-month warranty).
- Screen replacement — BDT 18,000–60,000 depending on model (Retina screens are expensive).
- Keyboard replacement — BDT 8,000–20,000. Apple butterfly keyboard (2015–2019) is famous for failure.
- Logic board repair — BDT 12,000–35,000. Requires micro-soldering skills.
- Charging port (USB-C) replacement — BDT 4,000–8,000.
- Data recovery — BDT 8,000–25,000.
What usually requires shipping abroad
- Logic board replacement (when repair is not viable) — BDT 60,000+ including shipping to Singapore or India.
- Display assembly replacement on 2021+ models with mini-LED.
- Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) board-level issues — limited local expertise.
For MacBook-specific guides:

Printer, UPS, CCTV, and peripherals {#peripherals}
Printers
Dhaka's printer repair market is dominated by HP, Canon, and Epson. Common issues:
- Paper jam — usually solved in 30 minutes, BDT 500–1,500.
- Ink/toner issues — usually a cartridge problem, not the printer.
- Print head clog — common with inkjet printers left unused for months. Deep cleaning BDT 1,000–2,500.
- Power supply failure — voltage surge. Repair BDT 2,500–5,000.
- Roller wear — pickup roller replacement BDT 1,500–3,500.
See: Printer troubleshooting in Dhaka, Printer repair service.
UPS and IPS
Bangladesh's load-shedding is the single biggest reason UPS repair is a thriving business. Common issues:
- Battery replacement — the #1 issue. UPS batteries last 18–24 months in Dhaka.
- Inverter failure — usually a transistor or transformer issue.
- Overcharging — kills the battery fast.
- No output — fuse, relay, or control board.
See: UPS repair service, UPS repair service.
CCTV and networking
Home and office CCTV installation in Dhaka is a separate industry but related. BAYAS provides CCTV installation, network cabling, and Wi-Fi setup as part of Networking Service.
See: Wi-Fi router setup and troubleshooting, CC Camera repair service.

Data recovery services {#data-recovery}
Data loss is the most stressful computer problem — losing years of family photos, business documents, or a thesis is gut-wrenching. The good news: most data loss is recoverable if you stop using the drive immediately.
When you need a data recovery specialist
- HDD makes clicking, beeping, or grinding sounds
- HDD not detected in BIOS
- SSD not detected after power surge
- Accidental file deletion or format
- Water-damaged drive
- Phone storage not accessible
What you should NEVER do before professional recovery
- Do not run any software (including "recovery" software from Google)
- Do not open the HDD (dust particles destroy platters)
- Do not keep the drive powered on clicking
- Do not put a wet drive in rice (rice dust makes it worse)
BAYAS provides a no-recovery, no-fee policy for data recovery. Cost ranges BDT 3,000–25,000 depending on drive type and damage.
See: Data recovery cost in Dhaka, Data backup and maintenance, Data recovery service.

Virus, malware, and software issues {#software}
Bangladesh is one of the top 10 countries for malware infection rates. The most common threats:
- "bKash/Nagad/Rocket verification" phishing — fake pages that steal your credentials
- Bluetooth-based viruses — auto-spreading through file-sharing
- Ransomware — usually delivered via email attachments
- Browser hijackers — fake "update Chrome" popups
- Adware — bundled with free software downloads
- Crypto miners — hidden in cracked software
Removal cost: BDT 500–1,500 for most infections. Prevention is much cheaper — see our computer virus protection guide.

Pricing — what does repair cost in 2026? {#pricing}

How to choose a repair service in Dhaka {#choose-service}
The gap between a good and a bad repair shop in Dhaka is wider than in any other major service market. Here is how to evaluate a shop in 5 minutes:
5 green flags (use this shop)
- Written estimate before work — any reputable shop will provide a written estimate within 30 minutes of inspection.
- Genuine parts with retail invoice — they should be willing to show you the part before installing.
- 30-day written warranty — covering the same issue. Verbal warranties are worthless.
- Transparent pricing — a published price list or clear per-job quote.
- Physical address with Google Maps presence — avoid shops that only operate via Facebook or phone.
7 red flags (run away)
- "We can fix it, just leave the laptop" with no written estimate
- Refuses to show you the part before installation
- Asks for full payment upfront for a job that takes 2+ hours
- No GST or business registration — illegal shops have no accountability
- Quotes 50%+ below market — using fake or used parts
- No warranty or only "verbal" warranty
- Tells you the motherboard is dead without testing — many shops over-diagnose to charge more
The "BAYAS test"
When you call a shop, ask these 5 questions. A reputable shop will answer them confidently:
- "What is your warranty period in writing?" (Should be 30+ days)
- "Will you provide a written estimate before starting work?" (Should be yes)
- "Do you use genuine parts with invoice?" (Should be yes)
- "What is your diagnostic fee if I decline the repair?" (Should be BDT 0–500, not BDT 1,500+)
- "Can I see your Google reviews and physical address?" (Should have 100+ reviews and a real address)
If the shop answers all 5 well, you are likely in good hands.

DIY vs professional repair {#diy-vs-pro}
Some repairs are perfectly fine to do yourself. Others will make the problem worse. Here is a clear rule.
Safe to DIY (if you are comfortable)
- Software issues (Windows reinstall, driver updates)
- Virus removal (with a reputable antivirus)
- RAM upgrade
- SSD upgrade
- Battery replacement (on most modern laptops with external battery)
- Cleaning dust from vents (using compressed air)
- Updating BIOS/UEFI
Always call a professional
- Motherboard-level repair
- Soldering (charging port, USB, HDMI)
- Liquid damage recovery
- MacBook logic board work
- Screen replacement on glued assemblies (most modern laptops)
- Hinge replacement (requires full disassembly)
- Data recovery from a damaged drive
The "BDT 1,500 mistake" — many DIY attempts end up costing BDT 1,500+ more because of damaged connectors, stripped screws, or shorted components. If you are not 100% confident, do not start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does computer repair cost in Dhaka?
Computer repair in Dhaka costs between BDT 500 (virus removal, software fix) and BDT 35,000+ (logic board repair on a MacBook Pro). Most common jobs fall in the BDT 1,500–6,500 range. A full cost breakdown is in the Pricing section below.
Is it worth repairing a 5-year-old laptop in Bangladesh?
Usually yes if the repair is under 40% of the replacement cost. A 5-year-old mid-range laptop (BDT 50,000 new) is worth repairing up to BDT 15,000–20,000. Above that, replacement is usually smarter unless the laptop has business-critical data on the drive.
How long does laptop repair take in Dhaka?
Common repairs (screen, battery, keyboard, software) take 1–4 hours with home service or same-day in-store. Complex jobs (logic board, motherboard, water damage recovery) take 1–3 working days. BAYAS provides a written ETA before starting any work.
Do repair shops in Dhaka use genuine parts?
Reputable shops like BAYAS use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts with a retail invoice. Avoid shops that refuse to show the part or that quote prices well below market — they are usually using used, refurbished, or low-grade compatible parts.
Can a water-damaged laptop be repaired in Dhaka?
Yes, in most cases if it is brought in within 24–48 hours. The sooner you stop using it, unplug the charger, and do not attempt to dry it with a hair dryer, the higher the recovery rate. BAYAS has a no-recovery no-fee policy for water damage data recovery.
Should I get home service or take my computer to a shop?
Home service is best for software, virus removal, networking, and assembly. In-shop is faster for hardware (screen, battery, motherboard) because the technician has the parts and tools on hand. BAYAS offers both — home service within 2–4 hours, in-store pickup within 60 minutes.
Do you provide warranty on computer repair?
BAYAS provides a 30-day written warranty on every repair covering the same issue. Parts carry manufacturer warranty (typically 3–12 months). Avoid shops that offer no written warranty — it is a red flag.
Need a Computer Repair Expert in Dhaka?
BAYAS provides same-day home service across Dhaka — certified technicians, genuine parts, 30-day written warranty. WhatsApp or call to get a free diagnosis.
