View service detailsStartup and no-power diagnostics
“Won’t start” can mean no power, a hidden display problem, a failed Windows startup, or storage risk. The first step is to identify the last reliable clue, protect important data, and choose the right course without using a reset or reinstall as an experiment.
State 1
No lights, fan, startup sound, or image appears after the normal power button is pressed.
Recommended next step: Usually an on-site external-power and hardware-path diagnostic, or the manufacturer when warranty coverage applies.
State 2
Power signs appear, but the built-in screen or monitor stays black; a dock, input, display, memory, or hardware issue may be involved.
Recommended next step: Use an on-site display, dock, and hardware diagnostic. Remote support cannot begin before the computer reaches a usable desktop.
State 3
The computer shows a logo, blue screen, BitLocker prompt, no-boot-device message, Automatic Repair, or repeated restart loop.
Recommended next step: Use a startup or Windows diagnostic, or the device or organization vendor when warranty or management controls apply.
State 4
Windows reaches sign-in or the desktop, then freezes, crashes, restarts, or becomes too unstable to use.
Recommended next step: Remote triage may fit only if the desktop and internet stay stable; repeated crashes or drive warnings need an on-site or data-risk path.
Clear answers before any changes

What you receive
Privacy and data protection
Do not send passwords, recovery codes, private documents, financial files, photos, or sensitive screenshots through forms.
Malware and scam cleanup starts with safe triage; payment disputes, identity theft, banking recovery, and legal issues need the right provider.
Data transfer and backup work depends on drive health, account access, storage space, time, and customer approval.
Board-level repair, cracked screens, liquid damage, warranty depot work, and manufacturer-only claims may need a specialist or vendor.

Computer repair FAQ
Yes. Tech Genie offers mobile computer repair help in the Los Angeles area for slow PCs, laptops, Windows issues, popups, setup, data transfer, upgrades, and practical repair-or-replace guidance.
Yes. Popups may be browser notifications, scam pages, suspicious extensions, or malware. Tech Genie starts with safe triage and avoids collecting passwords or private files through web forms.
Usually, if the old computer or drive is readable and there is enough destination storage. The visit can include files, printers, email setup basics, cloud storage review, and backup planning.
It depends on age, drive health, memory, storage, warranty status, software condition, and what the computer is used for. Tech Genie can help you avoid putting money into the wrong machine.
Yes, when the diagnostic scope and location fit. No power, a black screen, or an early startup loop usually needs an on-site diagnostic, while warranty, battery, liquid, board-level, or specialized hardware work may need the manufacturer or another specialist. A diagnostic cannot guarantee a same-visit repair or part availability.
No. A power, display, update, or Windows startup problem does not automatically mean the storage failed. File recovery still cannot be guaranteed, so stop repeated testing when a drive clicks, grinds, disappears, or contains irreplaceable files without a verified backup.
Only sometimes. Remote triage can work when the computer reaches a usable desktop, connects to the internet, and stays stable long enough for an approved session. No power, a black screen, and early-boot failures usually require an on-site, vendor, or specialist path.
Not as a diagnostic shortcut. A reset or reinstall can remove apps, settings, access, or data and can make recovery planning harder. First document the exact symptom, confirm backup importance, separate Windows from storage or hardware risk, and approve any destructive step explicitly.
