HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 repairs and upgrades
Screen replacement
A broken 14-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
Battery replacement
We replace the internal battery and check the charging circuit and adapter at the same time. On a 2021 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.

Charging is over USB-C. A loose or dead port is replaced where it is a separate part, or repaired on the motherboard where it is soldered.
SSD and storage upgrade
The HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
