Repair if the machine is under ~4 years old, the fault is a single component, and the repair is under about half the price of an equivalent new machine.; Replace if it is old and slow and has a hardware fault, or if the board has failed on an entry-level laptop where the repair approaches the price of a new one.

Computer Repair Cost in Dubai (2026): Prices for Every Common Fix

Short answer: In Dubai in 2026, diagnosis is free and a repair starts from around AED 250 — the final price depends on the machine and the fault. Software, virus and slow-PC work is at the lower end; a laptop screen or battery is AED 250–350 labour plus the part; board-level (motherboard) repair starts around AED 350; data recovery starts from AED 450 and is charged only on success. Most common jobs are finished the same day, on-site or at your home or office.

Why "it depends on the PC"

Two laptops with a cracked screen can be AED 450 and AED 1,300 for the same job. The labour is similar; the panel is what moves the price:

A standard 15.6" HD non-touch panel: AED 200–350
A full-HD IPS panel: AED 350–550
A touchscreen, 2-in-1, 4K, OLED or slim-bezel ultrabook panel: AED 550–950
A MacBook Retina display assembly: AED 900–2,200 depending on model

The same logic applies to batteries, keyboards and charging boards. That is why an honest shop gives you a fixed quote after the free diagnosis, not a number over the phone.

How much to fix a slow computer in Dubai?

A slow computer is almost always fixable for a fraction of a replacement. The job — malware and bloatware removal, startup clean-up, a drive-health check, thermal service (new paste, dust-out) and usually an SSD + RAM upgrade — starts from AED 250 for the software work. The SSD and RAM are extra:

SATA SSD 500GB installed with a fresh Windows and your data moved over: +AED 300–450
NVMe SSD 1TB installed and cloned: +AED 450–650
+8GB or +16GB RAM: +AED 150–350 depending on type

A five-year-old laptop that takes three minutes to boot will feel new after an SSD swap. You keep every file, app and setting.

Laptop screen, battery and keyboard — typical totals

These are all-in ranges (labour + part), confirmed on the free diagnosis:

15" HD screen: AED 450–600
FHD / touch / ultrabook screen: AED 700–1,250
Battery (Windows laptop): AED 300–750
Keyboard replacement: AED 370–650
Charging port / DC jack: AED 330–600
Hinge or housing repair: AED 350–700

Data recovery cost in Dubai

Data recovery starts from AED 450 for logical cases — accidental format, deleted files, a corrupted partition, a drive that mounts but won't open. Physical failures — a clicking drive, water or fire damage, a failed RAID, dead SSD controller — are assessed first (free) and quoted individually because they need clean-room work and donor parts. In every case you only pay if we recover your data, and we show you a file list before you commit.

MacBook battery (most models): AED 450–900 all-in
MacBook keyboard / top-case: AED 700–1,600

On-site, home visit or drop-off?

Drop-off at our workbench: no call-out fee, fastest for hardware jobs
Home visit: best for desktops, "it won't turn on", or when you can't leave the office — a call-out applies and is credited against the repair
Business on-site: same-day for AMC clients; ad-hoc visits are scheduled within 24–48 hours

We cover all of Dubai — Marina, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown, Deira, Bur Dubai, Silicon Oasis, Motor City, the Springs and Meadows, and the rest of the city — plus the northern emirates by arrangement.

How long does a repair take?

Virus removal, SSD upgrade, in-stock screen or battery: same day
Board-level repair, or a part on order: 2–4 working days
Data recovery: 1–5 days depending on the case
MacBook parts: 2–5 days depending on model

Repair or replace?

Repair if the machine is under ~4 years old, the fault is a single component, and the repair is under about half the price of an equivalent new machine.
Replace if it is old and slow and has a hardware fault, or if the board has failed on an entry-level laptop where the repair approaches the price of a new one.

We give you the honest recommendation with the quote — and if you replace, we can supply and set up a new machine and move your data across.
