Will not power on
No lights, no fan, or a machine that lights up and then dies. Usually the power supply, memory or the board itself β the diagnosis tells us which.
Whether it will not power on at all or simply crawls, we find the actual fault before quoting β and we tell you honestly when a repair is not worth the money.
Most computer problems look identical from the outside. A machine that will not boot might have a failed drive, dead RAM, a faulty power supply, or nothing worse than a corrupted Windows update. Guessing gets expensive, which is why every job starts with a free diagnosis rather than a parts order.
We work on desktops and laptops from any manufacturer, and on machines well past the point where the maker will still touch them. Age alone is not a reason to give up on a computer β a seven-year-old laptop with an SSD and a fresh install is often quicker than a cheap new one. That said, if the repair costs more than the machine is worth to you, we will say so plainly and tell you what we would do in your position.
The most common jobs on our bench are storage failures, overheating from years of dust, dead power supplies, failing memory, swollen batteries, charging faults, and software that has degraded to the point of being unusable. One thing we do not take on is cracked screen replacement β it is fiddly, panel-specific work that we would rather send to a shop that does it every day than do adequately ourselves. Ask and we will point you to someone.
No lights, no fan, or a machine that lights up and then dies. Usually the power supply, memory or the board itself β the diagnosis tells us which.
Random restarts and blue screens are most often failing memory, a dying drive, or a bad driver. All three are testable rather than guessable.
Years of dust and dried thermal paste make a machine throttle down and roar. A strip, clean and repaste usually restores full speed.
A desktop that will not start is very often the supply rather than anything expensive. We test it before condemning anything else.
Ports that only work at an angle, cables that no longer hold, and boards that stopped charging entirely.
Often not a fault at all β a mechanical hard drive, too little memory, or a Windows install that has accumulated a decade of clutter.
We quote after the free diagnosis, never before β a fixed figure you approve before any work starts. For this job, the things that move the number are:
No, and we would rather say so than do it badly. Screen replacement is delicate, panel-specific work best left to a shop that does it daily. Everything else on a laptop we are happy to take on, and we will point you towards someone for the screen.
Most common repairs are done the same or next day once the part is in hand. Anything needing an ordered part depends on delivery, and we tell you the expected wait when we quote, not after.
Not on a normal repair. We tell you before starting if a job carries any risk to your data, and on drive failures we always discuss recovery options first rather than wiping anything.
Often yes β an SSD and a memory upgrade transform a machine that feels dead. It stops being worth it when the board has failed or the parts cost more than the machine. We give you that answer honestly at the diagnosis stage.
Yes, and it is what we are best at. Desktops, custom builds and gaming rigs β cooling problems, power supply failures, upgrades and full builds. We stock the parts too, priced openly.
Then you do not pay for the repair. The diagnosis is free either way, and we will tell you what your realistic options are, including when the right answer is to replace the machine.
Built properly, cabled tidily, stress-tested before it leaves β and with honest advice about where your money actually makes a difference.
