Common Reasons Your Computer Won't Turn On:

Power Supply Problems

Symptom: No power indicators, no lights, no fans rotating.
Solution: Our Nimble Nerds technicians will inspect your power supply to make sure it is operating correctly.

This inspection includes the I/O switch on the power supply and, if needed, testing with a spare power cord. But don't worry, our Nimble Nerds team can replace the power supply if its broken.

Power Supply Problems

Power Button Issues

Symptom: Nothing happens when the power button is pressed.

Solution: One reason for this may be that the power button is improperly attached. To see if it is connected, our Nimble Nerds specialists will check the power switch and the motherboard's power switch header pins.

Power Button Doesn't Work

Loose Connections

Symptom: Intermittent power or no power.

Solution: Loose CPU power cables or disconnected internal components can prevent startup. We will ensure all components are securely connected correctly and properly seated.

Computer Troubleshooting

BIOS Settings

Symptom: Computer starts but doesn’t boot properly.

Solution: Incorrect BIOS settings can prevent your computer from booting. We can reset these startup settings to default and update the BIOS if needed.

BIOS Settings

Hardware Failures

Symptom: No boot or error messages

Solution: When your computer faces critical hardware issues such as malfunctioning graphics card, RAM not seated properly or motherboard manual, it may not boot properly. That is why, our specialists will diagnose and replace any hardware that is broken.

Hardware Repair

Checking Power Cables

Symptom: No power despite everything else appearing normal.

Solution: Ensure the power cable is properly plugged into a functioning wall outlet or surge protector. We’ll also check if the power strip, same cable, or surge protector is defective by testing it with a different power source.

  Great service
Once again Rob delivered on service.  
A week before Christmas I didn't think I had a chance of a service call but Rob had one of his trusty "Nimble Nerds" come to me for a same day service.  Chris was personable and competent and solved our computer problem .. which was not really a computer problem but operator error.  However, Chris did resolve some other issues while he was here and it was no problem for him.  Fortunately I don't have the need to call on Nimble Nerds too often  but when I do I know the issue will be resolved.  Great service Rob - thanks.  Susan Baker

  Such a great service! Rob is very knowledgeable, but he knows how to explain things really well to tech-illiterate people 😅. He is not only an amazing tech-head, he is also super lovely (which is so needed when someone is coming into your home or place of work). Thanks for always sorting my tech needs, whether in person, or remotely 🙏💜
