Call (03) 5215 1111Understand the fault before choosing the next step
Keep the normal power supply available and tell us about important files without a backup. The cause might need a straightforward repair or more involved work, so we explain diagnosis, parts and any necessary offsite arrangements before continuing.
The aim is useful work for the computer and setup you actually have. Your technician can explain the findings and options, including any further time, parts or offsite work needed.
- Investigate computers that do not power on.
- Check blank screens, repeated restarts and startup messages.
- Assess Windows or macOS loading problems.
- Look at relevant power, storage and hardware faults.
- Discuss repair choices and any required parts.
- Consider backups and files before changes.
Getting ready for the appointment
- Take a photo of any error message.
- Tell us if the device was damaged or recently changed.
- Have its normal charger or power supply available.
- Mention files you need and any backup you have.
Common questions
Does a black screen mean the computer is beyond repair?
A blank display is a symptom, not a complete diagnosis. We can check the device and discuss whether a repair is practical.
Should I reinstall Windows before asking for help?
It is better to discuss the symptoms first, especially if important files have no backup. A reinstall is not the answer to every startup problem.
Can you check a Mac stuck during startup?
A Mac stopped at a logo or loading screen can need hardware or software checks. We assess it before discussing repair options.
Can files still be accessible if the computer will not start?
A startup fault does not by itself establish whether files are lost. We can assess accessible transfers or discuss recovery as appropriate.
How do I find out about pricing?
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on (03) 5215 1111 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
