Computer Repair Stari grad — Dorćol, Dunavska, Skadarlija
Stari grad looks like a small municipality on the map, but every client has a specific situation. Old buildings with unusual wiring, taverns around Skadarlija with POS terminals, agencies and creative studios around Knez Mihailova running Mac machines. We have worked in this area for years — we know the buildings, and we know that parking a car is tough. That’s why it’s simplest to bring the device in or send it by courier — you get a handover form, and it comes back repaired by courier once it is done.

Typical problems from Stari grad
Taverns, restaurants, cafés (Skadarlija, Dorćol)
A POS system that will not read cards, a receipt printer that “forgets” the network, a fiscal register that refuses to connect with the accounting software. These are the calls that cannot wait — the guests are in, the shift is running. From experience, about 70% of the problems are in the network (the router switched off overnight because of a power cut), and the other 30% are in a driver or the POS software. For companies with a maintenance contract we come on site; for individual devices, bring them in or send them by courier.
Creative studios, agencies (Knez Mihailova)
Adobe Creative Cloud that refuses to activate, a MacBook Pro that no longer holds a charge for more than an hour, Photoshop that crashes on large PSD files. What is specific about this area is that everyone works on MacBooks, so we keep dedicated parts for them in stock.
Apartments in old buildings
The Dorćol buildings from the 1930s have a problem with uneven electrical wiring. A computer that “suddenly shuts off” is more often a matter of unstable power than of the power supply itself. We bring a voltage meter as well, and if the problem is in the building, we recommend a UPS unit instead of a repair that would not solve the real issue.
Service prices — in the official price list
All service prices (diagnostics, repairs, cleaning, reinstallation…) are on our price list page and are always up to date. We confirm the final price after a free diagnostic (no disassembly), before the repair begins. The device is picked up and returned by courier, or you bring it to one of our shops.
You don’t need to worry about parking
Skadarlija, Kosančićev venac, the narrow Dorćol streets — you bring the device in or send it by courier — no need to worry about parking in the old town. We park at Studentski trg or by the Faculty of Philosophy, then walk to the device — we repair it at the shop and bring it back once it is done.
Questions from Stari grad
I have a MacBook Air from 2015 — is it worth repairing?
It depends on the specific fault. If it is just the battery or the keyboard, yes — those models are solid and will last another year or two with a small intervention. If the logic board has failed (often because of liquid), you get an estimate after a free diagnostic (no disassembly), and that is worth thinking through carefully — a new (and cheaper) Windows laptop might make more sense. We are honest with our advice.
Can you come urgently to a tavern in Skadarlija during business hours?
Yes. POS and fiscal issues are a priority — the guests are waiting. If you are a company with a monthly maintenance contract, we come on site and solve it on the spot; without a contract, bring the device in or send it by courier and we treat it as urgent — it comes back by courier as soon as it is done. Outside business hours (8 AM–6 PM, weekdays) we try, but we do not guarantee the same response time. After 10 PM we are available only for companies that have a monthly contract with us.
Do you do data recovery from a broken SSD?
Yes — from SSDs that are electrically sound we can pull the data in about 80% of cases. If the drive controller has failed, we send it to a specialized lab (Belgrade has two, and we work with them) — that is more expensive, but for important companies or compromised drives holding sensitive records, it is worth it.
