What we repair on the Acer Swift X 16 SFX16-52G

A broken 16-inch screen is replaced with a panel of the same resolution and finish. We check the display cable while the lid is open.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The Acer Swift X 16 SFX16-52G shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
We replace the internal battery and check the charging circuit and adapter at the same time. On a 2022 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.

Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Acer Swift X 16 SFX16-52G takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
