Bench diagnosis for faults that need proper testing
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. For portable devices, the workshop is usually the best place for bench testing and matched parts. Call-outs can suit desktop systems, office equipment, network faults and customers who cannot easily travel.

- PC is overheating or unusually loud

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.
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.
Computer keeps freezing
Storage health, memory, Windows condition, background software and heat can produce similar symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
Repair bookings from Erdington
Does No Fix, No Fee include the call-out charge?
No. It applies to repair labour. The confirmed call-out charge remains payable, and approved or specially ordered parts may also be payable.
Do you repair laptop charging ports?
Yes. The charger, socket, battery and board-level charging path are tested to confirm the failed stage.
Can you repair a graphics card?
Graphics cards can be diagnosed and assessed for cooling or board-level repair, but not every GPU fault is reliably repairable.
How long does a repair from Erdington usually take?
One to three working days is typical. Same-day work may be possible for selected faults when the correct part is available and workload allows.
Can you remove viruses and fake support pop-ups?
Yes. Cleanup can include unwanted programs, browser changes, remote-access tools, Windows repair and account-security guidance.
Can you upgrade an older computer with an SSD?
Often, when the computer is otherwise suitable. Source-drive health, compatibility and data transfer are checked first.
