How To Start A Laptop Repair Business

Today Tom writes in with the following question:

Matt, I’ve thought seriously about learning how to start a laptop repair business. I’ve been told there is plenty of money to be made and goodness knows I could use a little more of that! Is starting up a laptop repair business a good idea or do I need to repair other stuff, too?

To be honest Tom, a more diversified business is often times a better one. Especially when it comes to repairing technology products. And while I haven’t been in the computer repair business for a few years now, I’m still in-tune with the latest happenings. Here’s the scoop: laptop repairs are growing. But there’s a catch! You need greater skills than you have now to make a go of it. See, you need to be familiar with the different types of hard drive placements, handling loose connections and of course my least favorite, learning to use a solder gun.

On the flip side, it’s become a skill that is becoming profitable as more people are using laptops/notebooks over desktop computers these days. It’s a market trend that one would be wise to spend their time paying attention to. Especially when their existing client base is calling about fixing their notebook because it’s randomly rebooting due to a faulty fan or their LCD screen needs to be replaced. How about dealing with a bad power connection with the notebook. Are you ready to tackle this problem?
