Start here
Machines that will not start, overheat, crash, or sound wrong. Software-only help is computer support. Files on a drive that should stay off is data recovery.
We read the symptoms first. No Fix, No Fee if the repair cannot be completed.
No power, odd charging lights, or Windows that never finishes starting.
Repeated crashes, freezes, or a blue screen after an update.
A hot laptop, a loud fan, or a PC that crawls once it warms up.
Screens, keyboards, batteries, storage, RAM, and cooling.
Upgrade when the chassis is sound. Replace when more spend will not recoup.
Visit
What changed, what you hear or see, and whether the machine should stay off.
Repair, upgrade, or replace - with pricing before parts are bought.
The real fault, not a restart that only lasts until Thursday.
If this is not the job
The longer explanation of how we test hardware is on Computer Repair Scientist.
Counter laptops that overheat near shopfront windows, desktops that will not boot after a storm, cracked screens, dead batteries, and slow drives worth swapping for an SSD. Calls come from shops around Hornsby station and Florence Street, and homes on the ridge from Asquith and Mount Colah to Hornsby Heights and Berowra.
You do not need to know the fault. Tell us what it did just before it stopped.
Often. Drive swaps, RAM upgrades, and software faults can be done on site, sometimes before opening. Screen and board work may need the bench.
If the machine has to leave, we tell you first and how long it will be.
Often it is the power supply, not the whole machine. Leave it unplugged and call before trying again.
After a check we lay out the repair and replace options with the cost of each.
You hear the cost of parts and labour before we start. If more digging is needed, we explain why and give you a fixed price first.
No work goes ahead until you say yes.
