Laptop Won’t Turn On & No-Power Repair
No lights, no fan, no charging light — even if your laptop looks completely dead, I diagnose at component level to find and replace the exact failed part on the motherboard, rather than guess-and-swap the whole board. Most repairers can only swap parts; I find and fix the one faulty component on the board itself. Local in the Willenhall area of Coventry, or by post from anywhere in the UK.
- From £80 repair (after diagnosis)
- Component-level diagnosis, not guess-and-swap
- 30-day warranty
Common signs you need board-level repair
No lights, no fan at all
The laptop shows no sign of life at all — no lights, no fan noise, no charging indicator, even on a known-good charger.
Turns on, then shuts off
It powers on for a second or two, or the fan spins briefly, then it shuts off again before Windows loads.
Fan spins, but no display
You can hear the fan running and feel it getting warm, but the screen stays completely blank.
After a knock, surge or spill
Stopped working suddenly after being dropped, after a power cut or surge, or after a small spill.

Questions
Can every motherboard be repaired?
Not always — some faults are beyond economical repair. You'll always get a clear answer after diagnosis before any repair work or further cost.
What if it needs a full motherboard replacement?
That's only done when the board genuinely can't be repaired. I'll quote it separately and you decide whether it's worth it compared to the laptop's value.
