What We Repair

Computer not behaving? We repair desktop PCs, gaming rigs, small-business workstations and home computers across Townsville — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MSI and the custom builds people bring us from local shops. Laptops and MacBooks have their own pages, but the diagnostic process is the same on all of them.

Every job starts with a free diagnosis. We open the machine, run hardware tests, check Windows for the usual culprits — dying drives, failing RAM, dust-clogged fans (a common one in Townsville's climate), corrupted user profiles, dodgy updates — and then tell you exactly what we found and what it'll cost to fix. No guesswork, no parts-cannon, no surprise invoices at the end.

We work onsite at homes and offices across Townsville suburbs, or you can drop the machine to us. For ongoing problems and business support there's ad-hoc IT support or managed IT services if you'd rather have one company looking after everything.

Problems We Fix Every Week in Townsville

A few real-world examples of the calls and drop-offs we see most often around the suburbs. If your problem isn't listed, it's almost certainly something we've handled before — just call and describe it.

"It just won't turn on anymore." No lights, no fans, no display. Often a failed power supply or a tripped surge after a storm — common in Townsville's wet season. We'll diagnose whether it's PSU, motherboard or something simpler.
"Everything is so slow." Two-minute boot times, beach-ball moments, programs hanging. Usually a dying mechanical drive, low RAM, profile corruption or a malware tail. An SSD upgrade alone often gives older PCs a 3× speed lift.
Blue screens (BSOD) and unexpected shutdowns. Windows crashing to a blue or black screen. Drivers, failing RAM, overheating or dodgy Windows updates are the usual suspects — we read the actual crash dump rather than guessing.
Hard drive clicking, grinding or not detected. Treat this as urgent — keep using the machine and you can make recovery harder. If files are at risk, see data recovery before anything else.
Overheating and shutdowns under load. Especially in summer. Dust build-up in fans (Townsville climate is brutal on PCs), failed cooling, dried thermal paste. A clean and repaste is often the cheapest fix.
Virus, pop-up warnings or fake Microsoft calls. Browser hijackers, ransomware, scam pop-ups. We clean the infection and harden the machine — see virus & malware removal for what's involved.
"Windows won't start" / login loop. Profile corruption, Boot Manager errors, BitLocker prompts. We can almost always recover the system without losing your files.
Files disappeared, can't find documents. Bad sectors, OneDrive sync drama, accidental deletion. We can usually pull files back; if the drive's failing, data recovery first.
Email, internet or Wi-Fi not working from one machine. When it's the PC and not the connection, we sort it onsite or remotely. If the whole network is dropping out, see network setup.
New computer setup & file transfer. Just bought a new PC or laptop? We'll bring your documents, photos, emails, bookmarks and most program settings across, then set up email and printers so it's ready to use straight away.
Gaming PC stuttering or crashing. Driver conflicts, failing GPU, undersized PSU, thermal throttling. Common after a new game or driver update — we'll find the actual bottleneck.
Strange beeps at startup, no boot. POST beep codes are diagnostic — different patterns mean different faults. We translate the beeps and find the failing component.
Business workstation faults. Office PCs running Xero, MYOB, simPRO, Best Practice and similar — we fix the machine without disrupting the software stack. Ongoing cover available via managed IT.
Liquid spill, smoke smell, or storm damage. Unplug it and call. The faster we look, the better the odds. Storm season takes out plenty of Townsville PCs every year.
"Tech support" scam aftermath. Remote access scams that got into the machine. We check what they touched, lock it back down, and help with reporting if money was taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions Townsville customers ask before booking a repair.

How much does a computer repair cost in Townsville?

Diagnosis is free. Once we know what's wrong we'll give you a fixed-price quote before any work starts. Typical Townsville jobs range from around $80 for a simple cleanup or tune-up to $300+ for harder hardware faults — but every quote is honest, in writing, and you don't pay if we can't fix it.

Do you fix laptops as well as desktop PCs?

Yes. We repair both. Laptop repairs have their own page (screens, batteries, keyboards, hinges and charging ports), and we also handle Apple MacBooks. The hardware and software diagnostic process is the same either way.

Can you transfer my files to a new computer?

Yes. We move documents, photos, emails, bookmarks and most program settings from your old PC to a new one. If a drive has already failed we can usually still recover the data using our data recovery process.

Do you come onsite, or do I drop my computer off?

Both. We come onsite to homes and businesses across Townsville for setups, networking and anything that has to be plugged in where it lives. For deeper hardware repairs it's often quicker if the machine comes to us — we'll tell you which makes sense when you call.

Can you fix slow computers and Windows problems?

Yes — this is most of what we do. Slow boot times, freezing, Windows update failures, blue screens, profile corruption and startup issues are everyday work. We diagnose the actual cause rather than throwing parts at it.

What if there's a virus or pop-up warnings on my screen?

We clean active infections, remove browser hijackers and fake support pop-ups, and harden your machine so it's less likely to happen again. See our virus and malware removal page for what's involved.

Do you support business computers as well as home users?

Yes. We work with home users, small offices and Townsville businesses — NDIS providers, trades, accountants and medical clinics. For ongoing cover, see our managed IT services.

What happens if you can't fix the problem?

No fix, no fee. Diagnosis is always free, and if we can't resolve your issue you don't pay. If a repair isn't economical we'll tell you and recommend the cheapest sensible option — including data recovery before replacement if needed.
