Custom PCsStart With What You Notice
Symptoms Can Point to More Than One Cause
A good repair recommendation begins with testing, because several different problems can produce the same symptom.
What You NoticeWhat May Need Investigation
Slow startup or programsBackground software, malware, low memory, aging storage, limited free space, heat, or operating-system trouble.
No power or no displayPower delivery, battery, display path, memory, storage, motherboard, cable, or another component.
Pop-ups or redirectsUnwanted browser extensions, deceptive notifications, adware, malware, or changed security settings.
Cracked screen or dead keysA damaged display panel, cable, hinge area, keyboard assembly, liquid exposure, or an internal connection.
Dropped Wi-Fi or slow networkSignal coverage, router configuration, the internet service, a cable, driver, adapter, or device-specific setting.
These possibilities are educational, not a diagnosis. The correct service depends on the device, its history, and the results of testing.

Computer Service FAQs
Planning Your Visit
What types of computers does i-5 Computers service?
i-5 Computers works with Windows PCs, Macs, laptops, desktops, gaming systems, and custom computers. Service options depend on the model, available parts, and the problem being investigated.
What should I bring with my computer?
Bring the laptop power adapter and any accessory involved in the problem. Notes about error messages, recent changes, and the steps that reproduce the issue can make troubleshooting more efficient.
Should I back up my files before service?
If the computer still works and the files are accessible, a current backup is a good precaution. If the drive is clicking, disappearing, or may be failing, stop using it and ask about data recovery before running more tests.
Can you tell whether a repair or replacement makes more sense?
A diagnostic can clarify the likely cause, compatibility, part availability, and practical repair options. Darren explains the findings so you can compare repair or upgrade costs with the value of the computer.
Do I need to know which service to request?
No. Describe the symptoms and how the computer is used. If the cause is unclear, computer diagnostics are a sensible place to begin.
