Common Computer Problems We Fix for Coniston Customers

 

• Slow or freezing computers — often caused by a failing hard drive, malware, or a machine that's simply overdue for a clean-up and SSD upgrade
• Computer won't turn on or boot — power supply faults, motherboard issues, or corrupted operating systems
• Blue screen errors and random crashes
• Virus, malware and ransomware infections
• Broken screens, hinges, keyboards and trackpads

We repair all major laptop brands — Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface and more — for Coniston customers. Common jobs include screen replacements, keyboard and trackpad repairs, battery swaps, charging port repairs, hinge repairs, and full diagnostics for laptops that won't power on. Most straightforward laptop repairs are completed same-day or next-day when parts are in stock.

 

MacBook and Apple Repairs

Our technicians handle MacBook screen replacement, battery replacement, logic board repair, liquid damage recovery, and charging issues across all recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, including Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) machines. If your MacBook needs to go to Apple for a warranty repair, we can back up your data first so nothing is lost in the process.

 

Gaming PC and Console Repairs

For Coniston gamers, we diagnose and repair custom-built and pre-built gaming PCs — graphics card faults, overheating, power supply failures, blue screens under load — as well as PlayStation and Xbox console repairs including HDMI port replacement, disc drive faults, and controller issues.

 

Virus Removal, Data Recovery & Business IT Support

If your computer has been hit by a virus or ransomware, we remove the infection and help you secure your accounts and files afterwards. If a drive has failed, been dropped, or won't mount, our data recovery service works to get your photos, documents and business files back wherever the hardware allows. For local businesses in Coniston and Wollongong, we also provide ongoing IT support — network setup, backups, and equipment troubleshooting — so you're not stuck waiting on hold with a call centre when something breaks.
