A laptop that has to live on its charger isn’t really a laptop anymore. Batteries are wear items — after a few years of charge cycles, dying fast or refusing to charge is normal, and it’s one of the cheapest repairs that makes an old machine feel new.
I’m Justin with Woodstock Computer Repair. I match the right battery to your exact model, order it, and swap it at your home. One important note: if your battery is swollen — the case bulging or trackpad lifting — stop using and charging the laptop now. Swollen batteries are a safety issue, and I’ll handle the removal safely.

A charge that used to last all day now barely survives a meeting.
Unplug the charger and the laptop instantly shuts off — the battery is no longer holding anything.
A bulging case, lifting trackpad, or a laptop that won't sit flat. Stop charging it and call — this one's a safety issue.
Plugged in but stuck at 0%, or the charging light won't come on — could be the battery, the charger, or the port; I'll diagnose which.
Powers off without warning at 20-40% — a classic sign of worn battery cells lying about their charge.
Loose, wobbly, or intermittent charging connectors repaired alongside the battery when needed.
Every model takes a specific battery, and quality varies wildly in the parts market. I source quality replacement batteries matched to your exact model — not the cheapest no-name cell that'll be worse than the one you're replacing.
The swap itself is quick, and like most hardware repairs, the whole job is typically done within about 24 hours of the battery arriving for your model.
While I'm in there, you also get a quick read on the charger and charging port — sometimes what looks like a bad battery is actually a failing charger, which is an even cheaper fix. The diagnosis comes first either way.
Turnaround: most hardware repairs are completed within about 24 hours — exact timing depends on the specific issue and, for replacements, parts availability for your model. You’ll always get an honest estimate of both cost and time before any work begins.
Pricing: a flat $85/hr plus parts where needed, with the estimate confirmed up front. Free phone consultation — if it’s not worth fixing, I’ll tell you that too.
In-home service throughout Woodstock, Canton, Marietta, and the north metro — no drop-off lines, no hauling equipment.
Most hardware repairs are finished within about a day, and many software fixes happen during the first visit.
A clear explanation and a real estimate before any work starts. If repair isn’t the smart move, you’ll hear that straight.
You often can't tell from the outside — both look like 'won't charge.' That's what the diagnosis is for, and it's the first thing I check so you don't buy a part you don't need.
Yes. A swollen lithium battery can vent or, rarely, catch fire — and pressure on it makes that worse. Stop charging it, power the laptop down, and don't press on the bulge. I'll remove it safely.
Yes — MacBook battery service is routine, including models where the battery is adhered and needs careful removal.
Usually, if the rest of the machine is healthy — a fresh battery plus a tune-up is a fraction of a new laptop's cost. If it isn't worth it for your machine, I'll say so on the phone before you spend anything.
