Bring the right accessories and fault information
For north Birmingham bookings, call with the postcode and device type before travelling. That allows the workshop appointment or call-out route to be agreed without presenting a separate local shop that does not exist. The repair is tested before collection or return.

Faults we can assess
Start with the symptom, not a guessed part
A computer that will not boot, a damaged laptop or an unstable gaming PC can have several possible causes. Diagnosis comes before parts are ordered.
Console has no picture or power
Cable, display, port, power stage, storage and motherboard condition can affect the result.
Gaming PC crashes under load
Temperatures, memory stability, power delivery, graphics behaviour and recent upgrades can be tested under a relevant workload.
PC is overheating or unusually loud
Dust, airflow, fan condition, thermal contact and high background load are checked rather than replacing cooling parts blindly.
Computer will not turn on
External power, internal power delivery, memory, storage, display behaviour and motherboard stages may all need checking.
Files are missing or a drive has failed
Recovery may need to come before Windows repair, formatting or repeated startup attempts.
Business computer is causing downtime
The affected users, data, applications, network and urgency are considered before deciding on workshop or on-site support.
