Computer Won't Turn On: No Power, No Boot, Black Screen
Diagnosis for machines that show no power, power up with no display, or never reach Windows.
Illustrative stock photography — not a specific customer repair.
Does this sound like your computer?
- Nothing at all happens when you press power.
- Lights and fans run but the screen stays black.
- It reaches a logo or an error message and stops.
Common possible causes
These are the usual suspects, not a remote diagnosis — the only way to know which applies to your machine is to test it.
- A failed charger, battery or power supply
- A failing storage drive
- Memory that has come loose or failed
- Corrupted Windows startup files
- A display or graphics fault on a machine that is otherwise running
How Nick handles it
- 1Power delivery is tested first, then display output, then storage and memory.
- 2Your files are checked for accessibility early, because that is usually the real worry.
What affects your quote
- Which stage of startup fails
- Whether a part is needed and its cost
- Whether data needs to be copied off first
Estimates are free
No flat prices are published for this work because an honest number depends on the diagnosis and the parts. You get the price before anything happens. Pickup or drop-off is arranged directly when you call or text.
