PC not turning on?
East Auckland.

No lights, fans that stop immediately and a running PC with no picture are different symptoms. At our Burswood workshop, we assess likely power and hardware causes before recommending parts or repair options.

What we assess

Similar symptoms.
Different causes.

A black screen alone cannot identify a failed component. Describe what the computer does, including any lights, sounds or messages.

01

No sign of power

Assessment can include the power supply, cables and related hardware. Do not open a power supply or attempt an improvised electrical test.

02

Starts, then stops

Brief fan movement or interrupted startup can have several causes. Tell us what happened before the fault and whether parts were recently changed.

04

Cannot reach Windows

A boot message or recovery screen differs from no power. Storage and boot behaviour may need investigation, with your data priorities discussed first.

Before your appointment

Preserve the useful clues.

01 /

Record what you observed

Note the make, model or component list, any error message, and the last time it worked. Do not repeatedly force startup just to collect evidence.

02 /

Mention risks and priorities

Tell us about liquid exposure, physical damage or important files. If there is a burning smell or visible damage, stop using the computer and contact us before visiting.

03 /

Arrange an assessment

We inspect before recommending parts and discuss scope, cost and timing. Call or email to confirm the appointment and what equipment to bring.

Common questions

Before you book.

A practical starting point for PC owners in East Auckland.

Does no power mean the motherboard has failed?

No. Several faults can produce similar symptoms. Testing is needed before deciding whether a power supply, motherboard or another component needs attention.

Should I reinstall Windows first?

Reinstalling Windows does not diagnose a machine with no power. Avoid resets or changes that could affect files before discussing the symptoms and data priorities.

Can my files still be recovered?

That depends on the storage device and fault. Ask about data recovery and file transfer; recovery cannot be promised before assessment.

When can I bring the PC?

Normal workshop hours are 10am–5pm, by appointment. Contact us before visiting Unit 9, 28 Torrens Road, Burswood.
