Beep Codes (424) 536-0094

Computer or laptop won't turn on in Rancho Palos Verdes

Nothing happens when you press the power button, the lights come on but the screen stays black, or it shuts off by itself: these can be the charger, battery, power supply, or the main board.

I test each part of the power path to find the real cause, then give you the exact price before any repair.

Questions

What does it cost if it can't be fixed?

Nothing. If I can't fix it, you pay $0.

How much does a diagnostic cost?

$45 per device (free during the October offer). It's waived if you go ahead with the repair, and there's no charge if it can't be fixed.

Are parts included?

Each price is marked. "Part included" means the price is all-in. "+ part" means I quote the part for your exact model before ordering, so you know the full total before you say yes. You can also bring your own part.

Will I lose my files?

Most repairs don't touch your data. When a reinstall is needed, the "reinstall + data backup" service saves your documents, photos, desktop and bookmarks first and restores them afterward.
