If your HP Spectre x360 16-aa has a broken screen, will not charge, runs hot or will not start, we can diagnose and repair it at our Bermondsey workshop. The HP Spectre x360 16-aa is a 2024 2-in-1 laptop with a 16-inch screen. The SSD can be replaced but the memory is soldered, so storage is the only upgrade.
