Looking for computer repair or laptop repair in Nairobi? Our workshop, Zebulun Workshop, is at Denkell 2 in Juja, near JKUAT on Thika Road, about 30 minutes from Roysambu and Kasarani outside rush hour. Most of our Nairobi customers never come to the workshop at all: a rider picks up the machine, we fix it, and it comes back to the same door.
We repair at board level. That means we don't swap a whole motherboard when one small part has failed. We find the shorted capacitor, burnt chip or damaged port, replace it, and your laptop works again with your files still on it.

  35. A new laptop in Nairobi costs tens of thousands of shillings. A board-level repair usually costs a small part of that, because we replace only the part that failed. You keep the machine you know, with your files, programs and settings exactly where you left them. And if the repair isn't worth it, for example because the machine is very old or several parts have failed at once, we tell you plainly so you can decide before you spend anything.

  43. -
  44. Tell us what happened just before it failed, like a blackout, a fall, a spill or an update. It helps us find the fault faster.
  45. Not sure if it's worth fixing? Try the free checks on our self help page first, or tell us about your machine and we'll give you an honest answer.
