We repair the Fujitsu Lifebook S936 at our workshop in Bermondsey, from cracked screens and worn batteries to board faults and data recovery. The Fujitsu Lifebook S936 is a 2016 laptop with a 13.3-inch screen. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

Repairs we carry out on the Fujitsu Lifebook S936
Screen replacement
A broken 13.3-inch screen is replaced with a panel of the same resolution and finish. We check the display cable while the lid is open.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Fujitsu Lifebook S936 have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Windows repair and reinstall
This model does not meet Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements, and Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025. We can advise on the realistic options, including a lightweight Linux or ChromeOS Flex installation.
Battery replacement
A new internal battery is fitted and tested through a full charge and discharge. On a 2016 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.

Charging port and power repair
A charger that only works at a certain angle means a worn charging socket. We replace it and test the charging circuit behind it.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Fujitsu Lifebook S936 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Fujitsu Lifebook S936, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Known issues with the Lifebook and Celsius range
- A BIOS password or a drive locked to the machine is common on ex-corporate units; we ask for proof of ownership.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Fujitsu Lifebook S936 be upgraded?
The SSD can be replaced with a larger M.2 drive. Memory is in slots on most configurations and can be increased.
My Fujitsu Lifebook S936 will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Where do I find the model number on my laptop?
The model name or number is on the label on the underside or back of the machine. For this model, look for S936.
Can the Fujitsu Lifebook S936 run Windows 11?
Not officially. It does not meet Microsoft's processor and security requirements.
