A computer that will not start, a damaged laptop and a crashing gaming PC need different checks. Repair help is available for Selly Oak, with free general diagnosis and a quote before chargeable work.

A practical repair route
A clear appointment before the device changes hands
For south Birmingham customers, the right route depends on the equipment and fault. Laptops and consoles often need bench testing, while desktop and business problems may suit an arranged call-out. The repair is tested before collection or return. Workmanship is covered for 30 days, while replacement-part warranty depends on the relevant part and supplier or manufacturer.

View serviceFaults 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.
