Laptop dead with a blank screen

If your laptop shows no signs of life, the most common cause is a flat battery or a power supply issue. It may be as simple as a faulty charger, a damaged cable, or a loose connection. In other cases, the problem could be linked to internal hardware faults that need professional attention.

A faulty DC jack can stop your laptop from receiving power and charging the battery. Fortunately, this is usually a simple repair.

If the battery is shorted, the laptop may not start at all. We can replace the battery and suggest doing this every three to five years. A power reset may bring it back temporarily, but the issue will return until the battery is replaced.

When the problem is with the motherboard, repairs can be complex and expensive. If your laptop is already a few years old, it may not be worth fixing. The good news is we can still recover your data safely.

In rare cases, the fault lies with the keyboard or power button. While this does not happen often, our technicians can diagnose and repair it if needed.

The dreaded Blue Screen of Death is a common Windows error that signals a serious system problem. If it appears often, the cause may be faulty hardware or corrupt software that requires attention. Updating Windows and drivers can sometimes resolve the issue, but in other cases, expert repair is the only way to restore stability.

A Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) means your system has crashed and Windows can no longer run safely. This often comes from faulty hardware or driver conflicts. If it appears right after startup, the cause is usually a failing hard drive or SSD.

The problem may begin occasionally, but it will usually get worse with time. We recommend backing up your files as soon as possible and bringing your laptop to Fix My Laptop Brisbane for repair. If your data is already inaccessible, our team can attempt recovery. Acting quickly improves the chances of saving your files, so don’t delay.
