Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST Repair
We repair the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST at our workshop in Bermondsey, from cracked screens and worn batteries to board faults and data recovery. It is a 17.3-inch laptop from 2017. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

What we repair on the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST
Screen replacement
A broken 17.3-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
Windows 11 support depends on the processor: versions with an 8th-generation Intel Core or Ryzen 2000-series chip or newer qualify, and earlier ones do not. We check yours and advise.
Battery replacement
The battery is internal and held by screws. We fit a new one, then calibrate and test it under load. On a 2017 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
Depending on the configuration this charges through a round socket, USB-C or both. We test the adapter, the port and the charging circuit to find which has failed.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Whether memory can be upgraded on the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST depends on the exact configuration. We check against the serial number before quoting.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17AST, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- Hinge mounts on IdeaPad and Flex models can break away from the lid or base, especially on thinner chassis.
- Lenovo's model codes, such as 15ITL6 or 14ALC05, identify the exact generation and processor family, which is what we match parts to.
- Many IdeaPads have some memory soldered and one slot free; some have none free.
