Computer Repairs

Is your computer not working like it used to and feels like it has slowed down all while taking a long time to startup. We can carry out some preventative maintenance for you, AKLWide will check the hardware and temperatures of the computer and give it an overall cleanup/reconfiguration; just think of it like a tune up/service of a car, allowing longevity through care.

We will check the BIOS (basic input/output system), the driver updates to the motherboard and internal components by the manufacturer, providing enhancements to the performance of your device. We would also provide comprehensive security checks for any virus threats, problematic software or malware. Any issues we detect we will advise you and offer support and advice on safe internet use, email practices and maintaining your system going forward.

You have just brought a new computer or laptop and need help setting it up, this might be your first PC or laptop, or maybe you are upgrading from an older computer and you want to transfer all the information from that machine to your new computer.

We can help with transferring all your programs like Office, Antivirus or Accounting software, Documents, Emails, Photos, Music, setting up a new or existing email account and address books.

There are a number of reasons that your computer is running slowly. AKLWide can help identify the issue and offer you a solution that works. In most scenarios a good cleanup, reconfiguration of the operating system, removal of a virus or conflicting software will usually steady the system resources and resolve the issue. When it comes to Windows taking a considerable time to actually open it could indicate an issue with your internal hard drive, the drive could be possibly degrading or is in fact physically damaged and needs to be replaced.

If you feel there is a problem with the hard drive, refrain from continually restarting hoping the problem will go away, this could be the key to retrieving any data if no backup is available. We also provide options for improving the speed greatly on your computer by upgrading your memory or (RAM) and transferring an existing system from a mechanical hard drive to the greatly improved technology of a Solid State Drive (SSD) which could see the speed of the computer improve by up to 4 times.

If you start up your computer where nothing appears to be happening other than a series of beeps then a pause followed by series of beeps again there is either an issue with the memory (RAM) or the video card is faulty. On some occasions resetting the memory will resolve this issue otherwise a new memory or video card will be required.

If there is no display other than a message on the screen asking for you to check your video connection as there is no signal, then either the monitor is faulty or the internal video card or RAM in the computer needs to be replaced. If none of these options resolve the problem then you could be looking at having to replace the motherboard in the worst case scenario.

If the computer screen is flickering or flashing and the screen icons and text appears to be changing size, then it is most likely that a new video card is required. AKLWide Computer Repairs can help with these issues to get your computer back up and running in no time.

Experiencing any of the above usually indicates a hardware problem, further testing by AKLWide Computer Repairs would be required. Possible causes of this issue could be from a fan overheating due to dust and wear and tear or it may not be working at all on CPU or a graphics card, a damaged hard drive or faulty memory. Blue screens appear after system crashes or freezes whilst working on computer if this is not a hardware issue then you are possibly looking at windows update, recently graded driver problem or a virus issue.

We always say to check the obvious first, is the power cable connected properly? Are other devices on the power bar or same socket functioning and showing power? If they are not, you will need to make adjustments, try connecting the computer to another socket or power cable. If you can hear that the computer is turned on and can see lights flashing/flickering but there is no display, then check your monitor is not at fault. Otherwise, if the computer is completely dead after making noted checks then the power supply within the computer may need to be replaced to restore functionality.
