DIY Quick Checks If Your Desktop Cannot Turn On

Before contacting professional assistance, try these quick fixes when your desktop cannot turn on:

If these quick checks don't solve the issue, professional support is recommended.

One listen tells you which half of this page you need. With the cable in and the PSU switch at I, press the power button: if the fans spin up and the lights come on but the screen stays black, the PC IS powering on and the fault is more likely the monitor, its cable or the video output — try another cable and another input before you book anything. If nothing moves at all, no fans and no lights, that is the no-power fault the prices above cover.

Had a battery alert warning this morning on my HP Spectre laptop. Ran a battery test and the capacity is only left with 23% despite component test shows Passed. HP support ask me to calibrate the battery which is a very lengthy and tedious procedure and it does not solve the original battery issue of degraded capacity. HP Support also need time (the whole day also never get back to me) to check for stocks and price. I just need a faster clean fix to this issue i.e. simply replace the battery. Searched the Internet and found Esmond Service Centre with good reviews. Fast response and helpful advice. They transferred the battery to the branch at MidView in 2 hours and changed my battery within 30 to 40mins when I was on-site. Price was competitive compared to other quotes I got and also purchased the extended warranty for 1 year for $48. They also provided after sales customer service when I asked about my chargers. Not like some shops who will ignore you after the purchase. Great service and will look for them in future if I need to repair my laptop.Read full reviewShow less

I recently sent my laptop to Esmond Service Center at Alexandra Retail Centre for a battery replacement, internal cleaning, and full reformatting service, and I am very satisfied with the overall experience. From the start, the staff were professional, patient, and clear in explaining the diagnosis and recommended work. They provided transparent pricing upfront, with no hidden charges. The turnaround time was reasonable, and I was kept informed of the progress throughout. After servicing, my laptop feels almost like new. The battery performance has improved significantly, the system runs much smoother after reformatting, and the internal cleaning has clearly helped with performance and heat management. Overall, the service was efficient, reliable, and professionally handled. I would not hesitate to recommend Esmond Service Center at Alexandra Retail Centre to anyone looking for trustworthy and competent laptop servicing.Read full reviewShow less

Sent my iMac in for a screen replacement and had a very positive experience with Esmond Service Centre. Customer service was responsive and patient throughout the process, and they kept me updated clearly. Repair was completed quickly and the iMac is working well again. They also showed me photos of the internal dust buildup and explained the recommended servicing transparently, which I appreciated as someone not familiar with repairs. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience. Thank you for the professional service!Read full reviewShow less
