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.

Repair bookings from Shard End
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 Shard End 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.
