Fixing physical equipment
Hardware repair is the fixing of physical equipment—computers, phones, appliances, vehicles—as opposed to software troubleshooting.
The term usually implies hands-on work: replacing components, soldering connections, or diagnosing mechanical failures.
The laptop needs hardware repair; the screen is cracked.
A hardware repair shop or technician specializes in such work.
