Dell XPS 13 7390 repairs and upgrades
Screen replacement
Cracked, flickering or lined 13.3-inch screens are replaced with a matching panel. Where the picture comes and goes as the lid moves, we check the display cable and hinges first.
Price confirmed before work starts
Charging port and power repair
Charging is over USB-C. A loose or dead port is replaced where it is a separate part, or repaired on the motherboard where it is soldered.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Dell XPS 13 7390 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.

Memory
Memory in the Dell XPS 13 7390 is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is worth knowing this before paying anyone for a memory upgrade.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Dell XPS 13 7390 meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
Battery replacement
A new internal battery is fitted and tested through a full charge and discharge. A battery of this age that swells should be replaced before it damages the trackpad or casing.

What we see on the bench
- Battery swelling that lifts the trackpad or palm rest is something we see regularly on the XPS 13. A swollen battery should be replaced before it damages the trackpad or chassis.
- Charging is over USB-C on recent models. When a port stops charging, the fault is usually on the motherboard and is repaired at component level.
- Memory is soldered to the motherboard, so it is fixed at whatever the laptop was bought with.
