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.

I went there to change battery for my lap top and was highly impressed by their good technical, reasonal pricing, ease of doing business and friendliness of front desk staffs. They found something else ; ie the cooling system that required attentive alertedmet the issue via WA prompting recommending solutions and cosing.

Dropped your portable hard drive, or it's clicking and not showing up? Esmond Service Centre recovers files from external and portable HDDs across Singapore — free evaluation first, and no-data-no-fee.
Portable hard drives are perfect for backups and carrying large files between places — which is exactly why a single drop, a bent USB connector or a faulty cable can put years of photos, work and records out of reach. If your external drive is no longer showing up, asks to be formatted, or is clicking loudly, stop using it and let our specialists assess it.
Our team performs portable hard drive data recovery in Singapore for leading brands including Seagate, WD (Western Digital), Toshiba and Samsung, across USB and Thunderbolt enclosures — including the Seagate Backup Plus and Expansion, WD My Passport and Elements, Toshiba Canvio and Samsung T5 and T7 ranges.
Whatever the cause, the steps are the same and you stay in control of the cost:
Portable hard drive recovery is priced per job after the free evaluation — you get a fixed quote upfront with no hidden charges, and on a no-data-no-fee basis you approve the price before recovery begins. The cost depends on whether the failure is logical (deleted, formatted or corrupted files) or physical (a drive that is clicking, dropped or not detected) and the extent of the damage. See our main data recovery Singapore page for the full overview, or contact us for a free assessment.
| What we recover | Starts at (SGD, excl. GST) | Typical turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Software-level recovery — deleted, formatted or corrupted files, drive still detected | Fr $95 | From 1–3 working days |
| Hardware-level recovery — drive not detected, clicking, or not spinning up | $580 and above | From 10–14 working days |
These are the rates Esmond Service Centre already publishes on our data recovery page. Both timings are minimums — a badly damaged drive can take longer, and it is decided case by case, so after the free evaluation we tell you the expected date along with the fixed price.
Send us the symptom and we'll come back with what it likely is, what it will cost, and how long it will take. The diagnosis is free, and if we can't fix it, you pay nothing.
Bring it to Esmond Service Centre at Sin Ming or Alexandra — free diagnostics, repairs from $65, many done in 1–2 hours.
