If your computer is acting up and you're wondering what it'll cost to fix, you're not alone. "How much does computer repair cost?" is one of the most common questions we hear at Computer Corner in Leesburg, FL. The honest answer depends on the problem — but unlike many shops, we believe you deserve upfront, transparent pricing before we touch your machine. Here's a complete breakdown of our 2026 rates.
The $50 Diagnostic Fee — And Why It Works in Your Favor
Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis. At Computer Corner, we charge a flat $50 diagnostic fee to assess your laptop or desktop and pinpoint exactly what's wrong. The good news: that $50 is applied directly toward the cost of your repair if you choose to move forward. You only pay the diagnostic fee if you decide not to have us fix it.
Some shops in the area advertise free diagnostics, but often roll that cost into inflated labor rates you don't see until checkout. Our approach is the opposite — you know the price before we start, and the diagnostic investment isn't wasted if you proceed with the repair.
Virus & Malware Removal: Starting at $89
Virus removal is one of our most requested services. Infections range from minor adware to deep-rooted rootkits that can survive reboots and corrupt system files. Our virus removal service starts at $89, and covers complete malware removal, a security audit of your system, and recommendations to help prevent reinfection.
Complex infections — particularly ransomware or multi-stage trojans — may require additional work, and we'll always communicate the full scope before proceeding. No surprises at checkout.
Data Recovery: Starting at $149
Hard drive failure, accidental deletion, ransomware encryption, or a corrupted operating system can put your photos, documents, and business files at risk. Our data recovery service starts at $149 and covers the most common recovery scenarios for laptops and desktops.
The cost of recovery scales with the complexity of the failure. Logical failures (software-based) are typically at the lower end. Physical drive failures requiring specialized tools may cost more, and we'll always give you a quote after diagnosis before starting any recovery work.
Laptop Screen Replacement: Starting at $149
A cracked or broken laptop screen doesn't mean you need a new computer. We replace laptop screens starting at $149, parts and labor included. Final pricing depends on your specific laptop model and screen type — higher-resolution displays or specialty panels (such as OLED or touch screens) may carry a higher parts cost, which we'll confirm upfront.
Most laptop screen replacements are completed same-day or within 24 hours. Call ahead to confirm parts availability and scheduling.
What About Other Repairs?
Beyond the services listed above, we handle a wide range of laptop and desktop issues: slow performance, operating system errors, failed updates, hardware upgrades (RAM, SSD), power jack repairs, overheating, and more. Pricing for these varies based on the specific issue — which is exactly why the $50 diagnostic exists. It ensures you get an accurate quote tailored to your machine, not a generic estimate.
One important note: we repair laptops and desktops only. We do not service phones, tablets, or other mobile devices.
When to Repair — and When to Replace
Not every computer is worth repairing. A general rule of thumb: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the cost of a comparable replacement machine, replacement often makes more financial sense. We'll always give you an honest assessment. If your 10-year-old laptop needs a $300 repair, we'll tell you — and help you understand your options — rather than push you toward a repair that won't serve you well long-term.
Factors that favor repair: the machine is less than 5 years old, the failure is isolated (a single bad component), and the rest of the system is in good shape. Factors that favor replacement: multiple failing components, outdated hardware that can't run current software, or repair costs that approach replacement cost.
Why Computer Corner's Pricing Stands Out
Many repair shops in the area charge $100–$150 per hour with no upfront quote — meaning you hand over your computer and don't know what you'll owe until the work is done. That approach puts all the risk on you.
At Computer Corner, we operate differently. Our pricing is flat-rate for common services, published openly, and communicated before any repair begins. We've been serving Leesburg and Lake County since 2012, and our reputation is built on doing right by our customers — not squeezing extra billable hours out of every job.
With a 4.9-star rating across 141 Google reviews, our track record speaks for itself. We're a locally owned shop where the owner — a technician with 17 years of experience — is involved in the work, not just the management.
