Simple phrases you can use
When you arrive, try short sentences like these:
- יש לי בעיה עם המחשב הנייד. — I have a problem with my laptop.
- הוא לא נדלק. — It does not turn on.
- הוא לא נטען. — It is not charging.
- המסך לא עובד. — The screen is not working.
- המטען לא עובד. — The charger is not working.
- הסוללה נגמרת מהר. — The battery runs out quickly.
- המחשב מתחמם מאוד. — The computer gets very hot.
- יש רעש מהמחשב. — There is noise from the computer.
If you can point to the issue, that helps too. For example, you can say כאן (here) while showing the broken part, or זה (this) when you hand over the charger or laptop.
What the technician may ask
A repair shop may ask:
- מה הבעיה? — What is the problem?
- מתי זה התחיל? — When did it start?
- נפל? — Did it fall?
- נשפך מים? — Did water spill?
- צריך גיבוי? — Do you need a backup?
That last one is especially important. If the laptop still turns on, ask whether they can save your files first. You can say:
- אפשר לגבות את הקבצים? — Can you back up the files?
- אני צריך את הקבצים שלי. — I need my files.
Talking about cost and timing
It is normal to ask about price and repair time before leaving your device.
- כמה זה עולה? — How much does it cost?
- מתי זה יהיה מוכן? — When will it be ready?
- אפשר לקבל הצעת מחיר? — Can I get a price quote?
- יש אחריות על התיקון? — Is there a warranty on the repair?

A short example conversation
אתה: יש לי בעיה עם המחשב הנייד. הוא לא נטען.
טכנאי: המטען עובד? ניסית מטען אחר?
אתה: כן, ניסיתי. גם הסוללה נגמרת מהר.
טכנאי: בסדר, נבדוק את זה. אתה צריך גיבוי של הקבצים?
אתה: כן, בבקשה. אני צריך את הקבצים שלי.
Tip for learners
You do not need to explain every detail in perfect Hebrew. Start with the main problem, then add one or two extra details. Words like לא עובד, לא נטען, חם, and תקלה will get you far in a repair shop.
