You push the button and nothing happens. Or the lights come on, the fans spin, and the screen stays black. A computer that won’t turn on is scary when your files are on it, but most of the time it’s fixable. Bring it to Pueblo Computer Help, 2727 N Elizabeth St. Diagnostics and estimates are free on most devices. Laptop and desktop repair is $179.99 plus parts. If we don’t fix it, you don’t pay.
Try these first
- Laptop: plug in the charger, wait a few minutes, then hold the power button for 15–30 seconds and try again.
- Check the charger light. No light can mean a dead charger, not a dead laptop.
- Desktop: check the switch on the back of the power supply and try a different outlet.
- Lights on but black screen? Try an external monitor, or check that the monitor is on the right input.
- Unplug USB drives and accessories, then try again.
What it usually turns out to be
The common causes, roughly cheapest to most expensive: a bad charger, a dead battery, a failed desktop power supply, loose or bad memory, a failing drive that keeps it from booting, a broken charging port, or a problem on the motherboard ($299.99). We check in that order so you don’t pay for the big fix when it’s a small one.
Turns on but won’t start Windows?
If you see a logo and then it hangs, restarts in a loop, or shows a blue screen, the problem may be the drive or Windows itself. Your files are often fine. We save them first. See data recovery and Windows reinstall.
What we do
We test it on the bench, find the actual cause, and tell you the price before any paid work. If a used part we already have in the shop does the job, it’s included. Same-day is common when the part is in stock. If it isn’t, we order it and tell you first. If the machine isn’t worth fixing, we tell you that too.
