Question 1

My laptop won't turn on at all — is it worth fixing?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. A laptop that won't power on is most often a failed charging port, a dead battery, or a board-level power component — all of which cost far less to repair than a new laptop. We test each systematically so we fix the actual cause.

Question 2

Will I lose my files if my computer can't power on?

Accepted Answer

No. Power faults don't affect your SSD or hard drive. Your files remain intact, and even if the board can't be saved, our in-house data recovery can still retrieve them.

Question 3

How do you tell if it's my charger or the laptop itself?

Accepted Answer

We test the charger output, battery capacity, and the laptop's USB-C or barrel charging port separately. In most cases we can isolate the fault within the free diagnostic and give you a firm quote on the spot.

Question 4

How much does a no-power repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Diagnostics start at $69 and apply toward the repair cost. The final price depends on whether it's a charging port, battery, power supply, or a board-level component fault, and we confirm the total before starting any work.

Question 5

How long does a power repair take?

Accepted Answer

Charging port and battery repairs are usually completed the same or next day. Desktop PSU replacements are also often same-day. Board-level power circuit repairs take a day or two longer, and we keep you updated throughout.

Question 6

My desktop powers on and fans spin but nothing happens — what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

That's commonly a failing power supply, a motherboard power fault, or a RAM or component issue. We test each part to find the exact cause instead of replacing the whole machine.

Question 7

I smelled burning from my computer, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Unplug it immediately and stop using it. A burning smell usually means a failed power component, and bringing it in promptly prevents further damage to other parts.

Question 8

Is a no-power computer worth repairing?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. Power faults are most often an affordable component fix rather than a dead machine, and you keep all your files and avoid the cost of a new computer.
