How we approach it
Most "my computer is dying" calls turn out to be one of a handful of things: a mechanical hard drive that has reached the end of its life, memory that was thin the day it shipped, a cooling system packed with dust, or a Windows install carrying ten years of accumulated startup junk. Each of those has a different fix, and they cost very different amounts to solve.
So the first step is always diagnosis, not a quote. We find out which of those it actually is, then talk through the options — including the option to leave it alone. A five-year-old laptop with a healthy processor and a dying drive is usually worth the swap. A machine with a failed board and a battery that no longer holds charge generally is not, and we will tell you that before you have spent anything on it.

Good to know
Questions about computer repair.
Anything not covered here is a fair question to ask on the phone.
How much does a computer repair cost?
It depends entirely on the fault, which is why diagnosis comes first. An SSD upgrade and a full board replacement are different orders of magnitude. You get the number before any work starts — no surprises on collection.
Can you recover my files if the computer will not turn on?
Usually, yes. A machine that will not boot very often has a perfectly readable drive inside it, and pulling your documents and photos off is straightforward. Physically failed drives needing clean-room recovery are a different job, and we will tell you honestly when that is where you have landed.
Is it worth repairing an old laptop?
Sometimes. An SSD and a memory upgrade can make a 2018 machine genuinely pleasant again for a fraction of a new one. Cracked hinges, failed boards, and dead batteries stack up fast, though. We give you the arithmetic and let you decide.
Do you work on Macs as well as Windows PCs?
Yes — both, along with the occasional Linux machine and Chromebook.
