Being a foreigner in Iceland can be quite difficult, especially if something as important as your computer or laptop suddenly goes kaput. What could be worse than losing your lifeline to your friends, your family and the rest of your support network while you’re overseas?
A computer repair technician can help immensely with troubleshooting, preventing the need to dig deep into your pockets or holiday budget just to purchase new equipment.
Though you may know exactly where to go and who to contact for laptop or PC repairs nearest to where you live, trying to figure out where the nearest computer repair service is in a different language and country may be a whole other kettle of fish.
Whether you’ve been living in Iceland for years or if you’re just visiting, having a local to point you in the right direction can be a lifesaver during the worst of times.
Down below, you’ll find a list of computer and laptop repair shops in Iceland. I hope that this will be of some benefit to you if your laptop won’t turn on, if you are looking for someone to fix a crashed computer, or even if you’re just in need of some miscellaneous computer parts!

If you don’t want to void your warranty, then it’s best to take your equipment to an official service point in Iceland. While some may be able to repair your items on-site, it is also possible that you may have to send your equipment abroad. In any case, be sure to ask about their turnaround time.
