Had a battery alert warning this morning on my HP Spectre laptop. Ran a battery test and the capacity is only left with 23% despite component test shows Passed. HP support ask me to calibrate the battery which is a very lengthy and tedious procedure and it does not solve the original battery issue of degraded capacity. HP Support also need time (the whole day also never get back to me) to check for stocks and price. I just need a faster clean fix to this issue i.e. simply replace the battery. Searched the Internet and found Esmond Service Centre with good reviews. Fast response and helpful advice. They transferred the battery to the branch at MidView in 2 hours and changed my battery within 30 to 40mins when I was on-site. Price was competitive compared to other quotes I got and also purchased the extended warranty for 1 year for $48. They also provided after sales customer service when I asked about my chargers. Not like some shops who will ignore you after the purchase. Great service and will look for them in future if I need to repair my laptop.Read full reviewShow less

I am extremely thankful for the outstanding service I received from Jay.
I called ahead to ask whether I would need to wait to get my laptop repaired, as it had completely stopped turning on and it was an urgent situation for me. I was told to simply walk in, and to my surprise, the issue was diagnosed and fixed in less than 30 minutes.
What impressed me most was that the repair was done right in front of me, and Jay remained professional, friendly, and transparent throughout the entire process. To top it all off, he explained that it was only a quick fix and chose not to charge me anything.
I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the help and exceptional customer service. Thank you, Jay, for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience. Highly recommended!
Also noticed that they sell other small gadgets which can make good last min gifts too!Read full reviewShow less

Sent my iMac in for a screen replacement and had a very positive experience with Esmond Service Centre.
Customer service was responsive and patient throughout the process, and they kept me updated clearly. Repair was completed quickly and the iMac is working well again. They also showed me photos of the internal dust buildup and explained the recommended servicing transparently, which I appreciated as someone not familiar with repairs.
Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience. Thank you for the professional service!Read full reviewShow less

I messaged Esmond Service Centre to get my MSI screen fixed and was impressed right from the start. They replied quickly, and I was able to head down on the same day itself.
I could simply walk in and wait at the store, and the technician took the time to look at my device and give solid, practical advice. They also stuck exactly to the estimated timing of 1–2 hours, which made the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.
Everything was handled efficiently and without any fuss. Excellent job and great service overall.Read full reviewShow less

Frequently Asked Questions
My computer won't boot — can you still recover the files from the hard disk? +
Usually yes. A system that won't boot is often a software or OS-level issue, while the data on the disk is intact. We can frequently recover your files without the original operating system starting, and we'll confirm what's recoverable during the free evaluation.
Can you recover from a hard disk that isn't detected in the BIOS? +
Often. A drive missing from the BIOS may have a controller, firmware or mechanical fault. We diagnose the exact cause during the free assessment and tell you what's recoverable before you approve any cost.
Do you handle both desktop (3.5") and laptop (2.5") hard disks? +
Yes — we recover from both 2.5" and 3.5" internal hard disks, SATA or IDE, from desktops and laptops.
The drive is clicking — should I keep trying to access it? +
No. Clicking usually means a mechanical problem, and repeated power-ons can make it worse. Power it down and bring it in for a free assessment.
How long does hard disk data recovery take? +
It depends on the failure. Software-level cases — deleted or formatted files, a lost partition, a drive the system still sees — typically run from 1–3 working days. Hardware-level cases, where the drive is not detected in BIOS, clicks or will not spin up, typically run from 10–14 working days. You get the expected window with your fixed quote, after the free evaluation.
Is my data kept confidential? +
Yes. Recovery is carried out in-house at our own workshop — your drive is never sent overseas — and personal and business data is handled confidentially. You can walk in to either branch, Alexandra or Sin Ming.
