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.
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.
MacBook or iMac fault
Screen, charging, battery, storage, startup and board-level faults can be assessed as an independent repair service.
Laptop screen is cracked or blank
The panel, backlight, display cable, hinge and graphics output are checked before the replacement part is identified.
Virus warning or fake support pop-up
Cleanup may involve unwanted software, browser changes, remote-access tools, exposed passwords and Windows repair.
An upgrade did not improve performance
Compatibility, temperatures, firmware, drivers and the actual bottleneck are checked before more parts are bought.
