Repairs we carry out on the Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK
Power supply repair
A mini PC that shows no signs of life often has a failed external power adapter. We test with a known-good adapter before looking at the board.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK 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.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK has an M.2 slot and, on some configurations, a 2.5-inch bay. Machines that shipped with a hard drive are much faster once moved to an SSD.

Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK be upgraded?
The M.2 SSD can be replaced, and some configurations also have a 2.5-inch bay. Memory is in slots on most configurations and can be increased.
My Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK 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 2018 Intel NUC 8 NUC8i5BEK 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 mini PC?
