Why Your Computer Won’t Turn On ⚙️

There are many reasons a computer might stop powering up — some are minor, others more serious.

Here are the most common issues I see:

Dead or failing power supply or battery
Damaged power jack or loose charger connection
Faulty RAM or motherboard
Overheating or short circuits
Corrupted system files preventing startup
Hard drive failure or missing boot device

Even if your computer looks completely dead, there’s a good chance it can be fixed. I’ll find the cause, protect your data, and get it back up and running.

What I Do to Fix Startup Issues 🔧

When you bring your computer in (or I come to you), here’s how I approach it:

1. Initial Power Check – I test power cords, batteries, adapters, and internal connections.
2. Hardware Diagnostics – Examine the motherboard, RAM, and hard drive for physical damage or shorts.
3. Boot Testing – Identify whether the problem is hardware or software-based.
4. Data Protection – Safely back up your files before any deeper repairs.
5. System Repair or Replacement – Repair or replace failing parts as needed, reinstall system files, and restore normal startup.

Most of the time, your computer can be revived the same day — no need to buy a new one.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait ⚠️

If your computer has suddenly stopped turning on, it’s best to have it checked as soon as possible.
Power problems can sometimes cause data loss or worsen if left unchecked.

Even if the computer seems dead, don’t give up — I can often recover files or replace a single faulty part to bring it back to life.
