Computer repairs

PC or laptop playing up?

Hardware and software, sorted properly — at your desk or remotely. Windows PCs and laptops are the main focus, including part replacement; I also support Mac, iPhone and iPad, software side only.

The usual suspects

Click the one that sounds closest — most of these are fixed the same day.

🖥️

Cracked screen or dead battery

Screen, battery, keyboard or trackpad replacement on PCs and laptops.

🐌

Slow to start, slow all round

Long boot times, apps that take forever to open, everything feels laggy.

💥

Freezes and crashes

Blue screens, apps quitting by themselves, needing a restart to get anything done.

⚠️

Virus, adware or pop-ups

Browser hijacked, strange pop-ups, or a scary warning you're not sure is real.

🔄

Windows or macOS updates gone wrong

Stuck mid-update, won't update at all, or acting strange since the last one.

🗄️

Storage full or won't boot

Drive or memory upgrades, or recovering a machine that won't start.

🔑

Locked out or forgotten password

Forgotten login, account issues, or a machine that won't accept your password.

💾

Lost files or no backup

Something's gone missing, or you've never actually checked your backup works.

Being upfront

What I do, and what I don't

✓ PC and laptop hardware, every time

Screens, batteries, drives, memory, keyboards, power supplies — genuine part replacement, not just a diagnosis and a referral.

✕ Not Mac or Apple hardware

Cracked iPhone or Mac screens, battery swaps, liquid damage, logic boards — I don't open Apple devices up physically. I'll say so straight away and point you toward someone who does that work.

Remote or on-site?

Most of this is quicker done remotely

Software problems can usually be fixed over a remote session the same day — often within the hour. Anything hardware needs me there in person.

The money bit

What it costs

Remote from $110, on-site from $140 — both include GST, both come with no call-out fee, and if I can't fix it, you don't pay. Full pricing →

Quick questions

Do you work on Windows PCs?

Yes — that's the main focus of this page. I also support Mac, iPhone and iPad, software side of things.

Can you replace a screen or battery?

On a Windows PC or laptop, yes. On a Mac, iPhone or iPad, no — I don't do Apple hardware repairs, and I'll point you toward someone who does.

My computer is really old — is it worth fixing?

Sometimes the honest answer is no. If a repair isn't worth it, I'll tell you that plainly rather than charge you to find out the hard way.

Let's get it sorted

Book a time that suits you, or ring and describe the problem — happy to tell you over the phone whether it's something you can fix yourself.
