A laptop in the back bedroom of a Newtown terrace overheats every summer afternoon and shuts itself off. Down the road, a cafe's office computer wears a splash of milk just before the breakfast rush.
PC Scientist repairs computers across the Inner West, at home, at work, or on the bench when a part is needed. Nothing is replaced until you have seen the price. Call 0493 563 381, request a call back, or book an eligible visit online.
Inner West homes and small desks in terrace streets need repair help that stays practical. PC Scientist diagnoses the fault, then you choose repair, replace, or a written quote.
Any one works. If something just got wet, switch it off, unplug it, and call.
Hardware jobs run in the Inner West, not only one suburb. Boot failures and hot laptops show up in Ashfield and Balmain. Cracked screens after a knock in Leichhardt. Drummoyne shops get the same honest repair-versus-replace talk before parts are ordered.

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 guide to how we test and repair hardware sits on Computer Repair Scientist.
Laptops that overheat in upstairs terrace rooms, coffee and milk spills on keyboards, cracked screens, dead batteries, and cafe back-office or counter computers that will not boot before opening. Calls come from Newtown, Enmore, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Balmain, and Dulwich Hill.
You do not need the fault name. Tell us what happened just before it stopped.
Switch it off, unplug the charger, and do not turn it back on to check. Liquid plus power is what does the damage.
Call us early. The sooner it is opened and dried properly, the better the odds.
Often, yes. Many checks and part swaps can happen early in the morning. Screen and board work may need the bench.
If a counter machine has to leave, we tell you first and talk through a stopgap.
Sometimes. A new battery and SSD can give a sound laptop a few more years. If the board is failing, we say so plainly.
You hear the cost of each option before anything goes ahead.
