Repairs we carry out on the Huawei MateBook D 14
Screen replacement
We replace the 14-inch panel like-for-like, matching resolution and connector to the part number on the original.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The Huawei MateBook D 14 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. On a 2020 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
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 Huawei MateBook D 14 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.

- On models with the camera in the keyboard, the camera is replaced with the keyboard assembly.
- Memory is soldered on MateBook and MagicBook laptops; most have a replaceable M.2 SSD.
Data recovery from the Huawei MateBook D 14
The SSD in the Huawei MateBook D 14 can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Huawei MateBook D 14 be upgraded?
The SSD can be replaced with a larger M.2 drive. Memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded.
My Huawei MateBook D 14 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.
Is a 2020 Huawei MateBook D 14 still worth repairing?
It depends on the fault. A battery, SSD or charging socket is usually worth doing. A major board repair on an older machine may cost more than the machine is worth, and if that is the case we will say so.
Where do I find the model number on my laptop?
The model code, for example KLVL-W56W, is on the base label. For this model, look for Nbl-WAQ9R or NblL-WFQ9.
