Will not power on
No lights, no fan, or a machine that lights up and then dies. Usually power delivery, RAM or the board itself — the diagnosis tells us which.
Whether it will not power on at all or simply crawls, we find the actual fault before quoting — 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 laptops and desktops 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 — 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, swollen batteries, cracked screens and hinges, failed charging ports, and software that has degraded to the point of being unusable. Almost all of it is fixable. What we will not do is replace a part on a hunch and hand you a bill when it turns out not to be the problem.
No lights, no fan, or a machine that lights up and then dies. Usually power delivery, RAM or the board itself — 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.
Broken panels, dead pixels, backlight faults, and the hinge cracks that slowly tear a laptop lid apart. Panels are replaceable on nearly every model.
Ports that only work at an angle, cables that no longer hold, and boards that stopped charging entirely.
Often not a fault at all — 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 — a fixed figure you approve before any work starts. For this job, the things that move the number are:
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 — an SSD and a memory upgrade transform a machine that feels dead. It stops being worth it when the board has failed or a panel costs more than the laptop. We give you that answer honestly at the diagnosis stage.
Yes. Desktops, custom builds and gaming rigs, including cooling problems, power supply failures and upgrades. We also sell the parts if you would rather we fit something specific.
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.
The cheapest fix in computing: an SSD and a memory upgrade turn a machine you were about to replace into one that feels new.
