Often yes. TechFix Pro recovers data from hard drives that have failed, been accidentally formatted, or have corrupted file systems. If the drive is mechanically failed (clicking, grinding, not spinning), we can arrange specialist physical recovery. The most important thing is to stop using the drive immediately — every additional read or write reduces your recovery chances. Call 0434 358 263 as soon as possible.

Yes — but speed matters. If you have spilled liquid on a laptop, power it off immediately, do not try to turn it back on, and call TechFix Pro on 0434 358 263.

First, try plugging in the charger and waiting 10–15 minutes before pressing the power button — a completely flat battery can prevent any response at all. If it still won't respond, try holding the power button for 10 seconds to force a hard reset. If neither works, the fault could be a failed battery, a power board issue, or a deeper hardware fault. Call TechFix Pro on 0434 358 263 for a same-day diagnosis — we come to your home and assess on-site with No Fix, No Fee.

TechFix Pro provides virus removal across Western Sydney, remotely from $49 or on-site from $99. If you think your computer has a virus — unusual popups, slow performance, programs opening on their own, or your browser redirecting to strange sites — stop using the computer for sensitive tasks like banking immediately. Call 0434 358 263 or book online for same-day virus removal.

Yes — cracked laptop screens are one of the most common repairs TechFix Pro performs. We carry screens for the most popular Dell, HP and Lenovo models on the van for same-day replacement. MacBook and less common models are ordered and fitted within 1–2 business days. Screen replacement costs from $140–$420 depending on the model. Book online and we will confirm screen availability for your specific laptop.

Almost always, yes. The most common causes of a slow computer are a full or failing hard drive, too many startup programs, malware, or an outdated spinning hard drive that needs replacing with an SSD. TechFix Pro diagnoses the root cause on-site and fixes it — an SSD upgrade on an older laptop typically reduces boot time from 5–12 minutes to under 30 seconds. Most slow computer jobs are completed in 1–3 hours.

Act immediately: (1) Power off the laptop — hold the power button until it shuts down. (2) Do not try to turn it back on. (3) Turn it upside down to drain. (4) Call TechFix Pro on 0434 358 263 immediately. The faster a water-damaged laptop is professionally cleaned and dried, the higher the chance of survival. Do not put it in rice — that is a myth and wastes critical time.

Yes — TechFix Pro troubleshoots WiFi and NBN issues across Western Sydney at your home. First, try restarting your router (unplug for 30 seconds, plug back in) and restarting your computer. If the problem persists, the issue could be with your router, your ISP connection, your computer's network adapter or your WiFi settings. Call 0434 358 263 for a same-day diagnosis.

Yes — in most cases deleted files are recoverable, especially if you stop using the drive immediately. Every file you create or save after deletion reduces the chance of recovery by overwriting the space. TechFix Pro provides data recovery across Western Sydney with a No Data, No Fee guarantee. Call 0434 358 263 as soon as possible for the best chance of a full recovery.

Yes — TechFix Pro fixes printer WiFi issues, installs printer drivers and sets up printers on new computers across Western Sydney. Printer WiFi problems are usually caused by the printer's IP address changing or an outdated driver. We also permanently fix the recurring offline problem by assigning the printer a static IP address, so it stops dropping offline every few days.

Yes — the most common causes are a faulty charger cable, a dirty or damaged charging port, or a failed battery. Try a different USB-C cable first. If the issue persists, call TechFix Pro on 0434 358 263 for an on-site diagnosis. MacBook charging port repair is from $130–$200 and battery replacement is from $180–$280. We come to your home across Western Sydney. No Fix, No Fee.

If someone called claiming to be from Microsoft, Apple or 'Windows Support' and asked for remote access — hang up immediately. If you already let them in, disconnect from the internet now (unplug your ethernet or turn off WiFi) and call TechFix Pro on 0434 358 263. They may have installed hidden software. We provide on-site scam recovery including a full security audit, removal of hidden software and account security restoration.

Lines across a laptop screen usually indicate a failing display panel or a loose display cable connecting the screen to the motherboard. If the lines appeared after a knock or drop, it's likely a physical screen fault requiring screen replacement. If they appeared randomly, it could be the cable. TechFix Pro diagnoses and repairs both on-site. Screen replacement is from $140–$420 depending on your laptop model.

Frequent freezing is usually caused by a failing hard drive, insufficient RAM, overheating, or malware. TechFix Pro diagnoses the specific cause on-site — we run drive health checks, temperature monitoring and malware scans. Most freezing issues are resolved in a single visit. If it's a failing hard drive, we can clone your data to a new SSD and have your computer running reliably the same day.

Generally: if the repair costs less than 50% of an equivalent new laptop and the machine is under 6 years old, repair is worth it. An SSD upgrade on a 5-year-old laptop (from $120–$180) is almost always worth it — the performance improvement is dramatic. Screen replacements on most laptops are also economical. TechFix Pro gives you an honest assessment before quoting — if it's genuinely not worth repairing, we'll tell you and help you choose a replacement.

Yes — TechFix Pro offers two guarantees on every job. First, a No Fix, No Fee guarantee: if we cannot solve the problem, you pay nothing including the call-out fee. Second, a 90-day warranty on all repair work: if the same fault recurs within 90 days of our repair, we come back and fix it at no charge. Both guarantees apply to every job, every time.

You pay absolutely nothing — not even the from $79 call-out fee. TechFix Pro's No Fix, No Fee guarantee covers every job. Before starting any work, we diagnose the problem and give you an upfront quote. If we discover the repair is not economical or not technically possible, we tell you honestly and you owe nothing. We would rather give you an honest assessment than charge for a repair that isn't worthwhile.
