Cause of the problem, simple checks and repair: I diagnose your PC and give you a free quote.
Your PC no longer turns on or starts?
It is the most common breakdown, and it is not always serious. Here are the most common causes and what you can check before coming to see me.
The most common causes
- Faulty power supply or charger
- Flat or dead battery (laptop)
- Poorly seated or faulty memory (RAM)
- Faulty motherboard or graphics card
- Faulty disk or SSD, corrupted system
- Overheating that shuts the machine down
What you can check
- Try another socket and the original charger
- Unplug everything (USB sticks, screens, external drives) and try again
- Remove the battery if possible, hold the power button for 30 seconds, then reconnect
- Note the lights, beeps and noises: they help the diagnosis a lot

Frequently asked questions
My PC does not turn on at all, is it serious?
Not necessarily: the power supply, charger or battery are often the cause and are easy to replace. A diagnosis tells you before any part is changed.
Can I recover my data?
In most cases yes, because the disk is often intact. I do my utmost to preserve your files, without being able to guarantee it if the disk is damaged.
Is the diagnosis paid?
The quote is free and given before any work. An advanced diagnosis of one piece of hardware (memory, graphics card, disk…) costs 15 €. I only start with your agreement.
