FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Factual answers regarding diagnostic turnarounds, data preservation, and London callout visits.
Need Personal Advice on Your Repair?
Speak directly with a technician for straightforward guidance on your symptoms and available appointment times.
Call +44 800 054 6750Can you test why my computer won't turn on at my home in London?
Yes. Our technicians carry multimeters, test power supplies, and diagnostic tools to test your PC directly at your home or workplace.
How can I tell if the power supply or motherboard is dead?
If the power supply passes a load test but the motherboard refuses to send the power-good signal (PS_ON), the fault lies on the motherboard. We test each component methodically to provide a definitive answer.
Will my photos and documents be lost if my computer won't turn on?
In the vast majority of power failures, your storage drive (SSD or hard drive) remains completely intact. We can extract your drive and recover all data safely.
My laptop only turns on when I hold the power cable at an angle. Can you fix this?
Yes. This indicates a loose or fractured DC power jack. Wiggling the cable is dangerous as it can cause arcing and burn motherboard traces. We can replace the internal socket promptly.
