Start with the symptom

Common computer problems we fix.

Most "mystery" computer faults trace back to three things: storage health, heat, or a software conflict. Recognise your symptom below and we'll tell you what we check first.

Computer won't turn on

No lights, no fans, or power for a second then nothing at all.

  • Power supply and wall-power path
  • RAM seating and motherboard response
  • Storage detection and POST behaviour
Desktop troubleshooting steps

Slow startup and freezing

Long boots, spinning cursors, apps that hang on simple tasks.

  • SSD/HDD health and remaining life
  • Startup load and background processes
  • RAM headroom under real workload

Virus pop-ups and redirects

Ads on every page, a browser homepage you didn't set, new toolbars.

  • Browser hijack and extension audit
  • Unwanted program and scheduled-task removal
  • Post-clean hardening and update checks

Blue screens and boot loops

Stop codes, restart cycles, or Windows repair that never completes.

  • Driver conflicts and recent update rollback
  • Failing storage and file-system integrity
  • Memory testing and thermal stress checks

Overheating and shutdowns

Loud fans, hot casing, or the machine cutting out under load.

  • Fan condition, dust buildup and airflow
  • Thermal paste and heatsink contact
  • Sustained-load temperature testing

Drive warnings or missing files

Clicking noises, drives that vanish, folders that stopped opening.

  • SMART data and surface-level health
  • Recovery feasibility before any repair attempt
  • Backup and migration planning
Data recovery pricing factors

Before you keep restarting it: if the drive is clicking or grinding, or you suspect a liquid spill, repeated power-ons can turn a recoverable fault into a permanent one. Bring it in and let us evaluate it cold.

Free 30-second triage

Tell us the symptom. We'll tell you what we test.

This is the same order of checks our technicians follow at intake. It won't replace a hands-on diagnostic, but it will tell you what a fair evaluation should cover.

No power, no POST, or power for a second then nothing

A dead machine is usually a power-delivery problem, not a dead computer. We work from the wall inward so you don't pay for a part that was never faulty.

  1. Power path — outlet, cable, PSU output and front-panel switch.
  2. Minimum POST — board response with one RAM stick and no peripherals.
  3. Storage detection — whether the drive is seen at firmware level.
  4. Board inspection — visible damage, swollen capacitors, corrosion.

Likely outcome: power supply replacement, RAM reseat or swap, or a board-level assessment with a clear repair-versus-replace recommendation.

Computer repairs and services

Hardware, software and everything in between.

We service Windows PCs, Apple Macs, all-in-ones, custom builds and gaming desktops. Part availability varies by configuration, and we confirm it at intake.

01

Virus & malware removal

Pop-ups, hijacked browsers, unwanted programs and the settings they leave behind.

  • Browser hijack and extension cleanup
  • Ransomware and spyware removal where feasible
  • Post-cleanup hardening and update checks
02

Hardware repair & upgrades

The parts that actually move the needle, fitted and tested properly.

  • SSD and RAM upgrades for real-world speed
  • Power supply, fan and cooling replacement
  • Screen, battery and charging issues (device-dependent)
03

Operating system help

Windows and macOS problems that a reinstall alone won't reliably solve.

  • Repair installs, clean installs and update failures
  • Driver conflicts, boot loops and stability testing
  • Account, login and safe migration setup
04

Performance tune-ups

For machines that are healthy underneath but buried in startup load.

  • Startup and background-process reduction
  • Storage health check and cleanup
  • Upgrade advice when software fixes won't hold
05

Data & storage

Getting your files somewhere safe, then keeping them that way.

  • SSD/HDD health checks and backup planning
  • Data transfer and new-computer migration
  • Data recovery evaluation, assessed case by case
06

Liquid damage evaluation

Spills need inspection, not optimism. Corrosion keeps working after the spill dries.

  • Corrosion inspection and component-level cleaning
  • Realistic assessment before any parts are quoted
  • Best-path advice: recover data, repair, or replace

Two machines, two repair paths

Desktop or laptop — the fix isn't the same.

The symptoms overlap. The economics don't. A desktop that's slow is almost always worth upgrading; a six-year-old ultrabook with a failing board often isn't.

Desktop

Modular, upgradeable, usually worth saving

Standard parts mean a desktop can often be brought back to current-generation responsiveness for a fraction of replacement cost.

  • PSU, RAM, GPU and storage are all replaceable
  • SSD + RAM together transform an older tower
  • Custom builds and gaming rigs supported, configuration permitting
Upgrade friendly Longer useful life
Laptop

Compact, integrated, diagnosis matters more

Soldered memory and storage limit what can be upgraded, which makes an accurate diagnosis the difference between a good repair and wasted money.

  • Overheating, battery, screen and keyboard lead the list
  • Some models have no upgrade path at all
  • Hinge and chassis damage often causes repeat screen cracks
Model-dependent Diagnose first

When repair or upgrade is the better value

  • An SSD or RAM upgrade solves the actual complaint
  • The machine is relatively recent and otherwise healthy
  • One component has failed, not several
  • Your data or software setup would be costly to rebuild

When replacement is the honest answer

  • Multiple major components are failing at once
  • Repair cost approaches the machine's current value
  • The hardware can't meet your needs even after upgrades
  • Parts for the model are no longer reliably available

How computer repair works

Four steps. No work without your approval.

Bring the computer and its power cable. If it still boots, back up anything critical first — or tell us what matters most and we'll prioritise it.

Symptom & goal check

We establish what you actually need: boot again, run faster, recover files, or stop crashing. The goal shapes the repair.

At intake

Free diagnostic

Power, storage health, memory and thermal behaviour are tested so the cause is confirmed rather than assumed.

No charge

Quote & approval

You get options and a clear price, including the repair-versus-replace view. Nothing proceeds until you say yes.

You decide

Repair & verification

We complete the work and verify with practical tests — boot, updates, browsing and sustained performance.

Warranty up to 90 days

Warranty: completed computer repairs carry a warranty of up to 90 days. The exact term depends on the repair type and the part used, and your store confirms it in writing at intake.

Transparent starting prices

What computer repair costs.

These are starting prices for the most commonly requested repairs. Desktop and custom-build quotes are confirmed after evaluation, because configuration changes the work involved.

Model identifiers are printed on the underside of the chassis. Not sure which you have? Bring it in — identification is part of the free diagnostic.

Prices vary with the exact model, configuration and damage severity, and are confirmed during intake. Want an instant estimate first? Use the repair cost calculator.

Why customers choose us

Diagnostics first, parts second.

Independent repair should mean better answers, not cheaper guesses. That starts with confirming the fault before anything is ordered.

Honest diagnostics

We start from your goal, not from a parts list. The most likely cause is confirmed by testing before we recommend labour or components, and you get a clear estimate with options.

Verified after repair

Every machine is re-tested before pickup — boot, updates, browsing and sustained performance — so a fix that only holds for an hour never leaves the bench.

Your data, handled carefully

Most hardware repairs don't require wiping anything. Tell us what's irreplaceable at intake and we'll work around it, and back it up first where that's possible.
