What we repair on the Google Pixelbook
Screen replacement
Cracked, flickering or lined 12.3-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
Memory
Memory in the Google Pixelbook is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is worth knowing this before paying anyone for a memory upgrade.
ChromeOS recovery
We restore ChromeOS from a recovery image when the device shows a missing or damaged system message, and check its automatic update end date for you.
Battery replacement
A new internal battery is fitted and tested through a full charge and discharge. On a 2017 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
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
Storage
Storage on the Google Pixelbook is soldered and cannot be upgraded. We can help with external storage, clearing space, or moving to a new machine.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, hinge and casing repair on the Google Pixelbook, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- Chromebooks keep most data in the Google account; local storage is small, soldered and encrypted.
- Every Chromebook has an end date for automatic updates, which is worth checking before paying for a repair.
Data recovery from the Google Pixelbook
Most of what is on a Chromebook lives in the Google account and Google Drive, and comes back when you sign in on another device. Files kept only in the local Downloads folder are encrypted and tied to the account, so recovery from a dead Google Pixelbook is limited. We will tell you honestly what is possible.

Can the SSD or memory in the Google Pixelbook be upgraded?
The storage is soldered and cannot be upgraded. Memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded.
My Google Pixelbook will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Not necessarily, but the storage is on the main board, so the board has to be repaired far enough to read it. Do not keep trying to power it on, and tell us about any backups you have.
