I found this shop on Google and saw it had great reviews from many customers. I recently brought in my ASUS laptop to have the storage upgraded to an SSD and for general servicing. The shop provided excellent service and proved to be trustworthy and reliable. The staff was professional, attentive, and made sure I understood the entire process. My laptop is now running faster and more efficiently. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing laptop upgrades or repairs.

What's going on

Traditional spinning hard drives (HDDs) are mechanical, which means they wear out and eventually fail — often with warning signs beforehand. If you're hearing clicking sounds or seeing files corrupt, back up what you can immediately and bring the laptop in. For most laptops still running an HDD, upgrading to an SSD is one of the single biggest performance improvements you can make — often faster and more noticeable than a full laptop replacement. We handle the swap and migrate your existing data across.

Common signs to look out for

  • Clicking or grinding noises from the drive
  • Frequent freezing, especially when opening files
  • Files becoming corrupted or unreadable
  • Blue screen errors referencing disk problems
  • Extremely slow boot and file load times

What usually causes it

  • Mechanical wear in a traditional HDD
  • Bad sectors developing over time
  • The drive simply reaching end of life
  • Outdated spinning-disk technology vs. modern SSDs

How we diagnose this

01

Drive health check

We run SMART diagnostics to check for early failure warning signs.

02

Data backup

At-risk files are prioritised and backed up before any further work is done.

03

SSD swap

The physical drive upgrade is performed once your data is safely secured.

04

Data migration & test

Your OS and files are restored onto the new drive and boot performance is verified.

Common questions

Laptop hard drive upgrade FAQs

Not necessarily, but act quickly. Clicking or grinding noises are a warning sign of imminent failure — back up what you can and bring it in as soon as possible so we can prioritise data recovery before the drive fails completely.
SSD upgrade with data migration is priced at current market rates, depending on the storage capacity you choose. We confirm the exact price after checking your current drive and data volume.
No — we back up and migrate your existing files, apps and settings as part of the upgrade, so the laptop feels the same, just faster.
Same-day is common when the part is in stock and the fault is straightforward — the Same day–2 days window mainly accounts for part availability for less common laptop models. We confirm your actual timeline after diagnosis, not just the general range.
No — protecting your data is treated as seriously as the hardware fix itself. Where a repair could plausibly affect stored data, we back up what's accessible before starting work, and we never wipe or reformat a drive without your explicit go-ahead. If your laptop won't boot at all, ask us about data recovery before assuming anything is lost.
Every repair carries our Standard Component Warranty, terms and conditions applying to labour and the fix itself. If a replacement part carries its own separate manufacturer or supplier warranty — batteries and SSDs typically do — that can extend further depending on the specific part, and we tell you exactly what applies to your repair before any work begins.
No. Basic live-agent assessment is always free at Dotronix, whether you approve the repair afterward or not. You only pay if you say yes to the quote we send you.
Both work, shaped to each hub. Book ahead with Our Live Agent for a guided workshop visit in Kepong, or visit our Kuchai Lama branch — call/WhatsApp first to confirm availability. Either way you get the same diagnosis and pricing.
Because they're genuinely separate jobs. The SSD swap itself just moves you to faster storage. Data recovery — pulling files off a dying drive — is more involved and priced by drive condition, and a fresh OS install is a distinct service some customers want and others don't need. Itemizing them means you only pay for what your situation actually requires.
