Many homes in Fort Hunt and Hollin Hills have a desktop or laptop that has served the family for years. When one starts clicking, shuts itself off or refuses to power on, the cause is usually a single worn part. We test the drive, memory, power supply and cooling to find it.
We bring our test equipment to your house along the Parkway, show you the results and quote the repair before we begin. Most hardware fixes are finished in one visit, and you can call any day between 10 AM and 7 PM.
Why Mount Vernon neighbors call us
Tested Before Replaced
We run diagnostic tests on drives, memory and power before recommending any part.
Repairs at Your Desk
Most part swaps happen right where the computer sits, so it never leaves your sight.
Repair or Replace Advice
If the repair costs more than the computer is worth, we tell you up front.
What We Test & Repair
Failing hard drives and SSDs
We scan the drive for bad sectors and errors, copy your files off a failing drive and install a new SSD.
Power supply testing
A computer that will not power on or shuts off at random often has a tired power supply. We test it and swap it on site.
Motherboard testing
Beep codes, no display or dead USB ports can point to the motherboard. We test it and tell you if repair is worth it.
Memory testing
Faulty memory causes crashes and freezes. We test every module and replace or add memory as needed.
Overheating and fan repair
Dust and worn fans cause overheating. We clean the cooling system, replace fans and apply fresh thermal paste.
Graphics card problems
Screen artifacts, game crashes or no video output can mean a failing graphics card. We test it and replace it if needed.
Broken ports and jacks
Loose USB ports, a broken HDMI jack or a worn charging port can be repaired or replaced on most models.
BIOS and startup firmware
Boot errors and failed firmware updates can stop a computer from starting. We restore and update the BIOS safely.
Older family computers in Mount Vernon
Computers that sit in a home office for years collect dust in the fans and wear on the drive. Those two problems cause most of the overheating and freezing we see around Belle Haven and Waynewood. A cleaning and a new solid-state drive often give an old desktop several more good years.
