Question Computer won't power on, looking for computer repair company near me

[Cosack]

Hello, my computer suffered a breakdown after connecting a second monitor to the desktop, I think the power supply whatever it is has just blown. It just switched off and it won't turn itself back on again. I'm looking for a computer repair company in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Doesn't PC world sort things out like that?
Must be many up in a city like where you are.

Typically the system doesn't breakdown because of another screen. Maybe it auto adjusted the screen settings. Did you try completely powering down the system, connecting to the original screen only, and check if it works fine? And if you don't get a screen does the computer light up or fans spin or anything?

It's shut down completely, when i press the power button it doesn't switch on.

I know that is sounds stupid, but did you test your outlet (is anything powering on when plugged into it?)

Did you make sure your PSU is switched on?

If you checked all that and there are no indications of power when your system is plugged in, then it would make me wonder about having a PSU issue that just so happened to coincide with what you were doing. Did you try turning your system on by using the motherboard switch? Maybe your case on button messed up?

I don't know much about computers and I don't want to be touching the insides of the computer. I'm looking for a computer service that does home visits to repair my computer, can anyone suggest a reputable company that will have a look at this issue?

Since this is an international forum I would have to say that you should check your local yellow pages and reviews for your local repair shop. Then call around to the few that have good reviews that seem legitimate to get quotes. A legitimate and reliable place will typically do things like check for what the issue is for free but some do charge a small fee. Good luck.

In a similar boat but I can't afford a repair service. 🙁

But I tried a Google for https://www.google.com/search?q=com...e.&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 and it gave some options.
