Is your computer refusing to turn on, randomly shutting down, or behaving erratically despite your best troubleshooting efforts? A failing power supply unit (PSU) can cause a cascade of frustrating problems that many users mistake for other hardware failures, leading to unnecessary replacements and wasted money.
A dead or malfunctioning power supply is the most common reason your computer won't turn on. We diagnose and fix these issues, ensuring your system gets the power it needs to start up.
Unexpected shutdowns can be caused by power supply instability or overheating. We repair these issues to prevent your system from shutting down during critical tasks.
Overheating due to dust buildup or faulty fans can cause power supply failure. Our team cleans and restores cooling systems to keep your PSU running efficiently.
A malfunctioning PSU fan can create unwanted noise or stop working altogether, leading to overheating. We repair or replace fans to restore proper cooling.
Power surges can cause damage to your PSU and other components. We provide surge protection and repair electrical faults to safeguard your system.
Inconsistent power delivery can cause system instability. We ensure that your power supply delivers steady voltage to maintain reliable system performance.
We perform detailed diagnostics to identify the cause of power issues. Our thorough testing ensures we find the root problem before making repairs.
If your PSU is beyond repair, we offer reliable replacement services. We install high-quality, compatible power supplies that suit your system’s requirements.
We install surge protectors to prevent power spikes from damaging your PSU and other sensitive computer components. This adds an extra layer of protection to your system.
Faulty capacitors or blown fuses are common causes of PSU failure. We replace these components to restore your power supply’s function without replacing the entire unit.
Overheating is a major cause of PSU failure. We repair or replace faulty cooling fans and improve airflow to keep your PSU working at optimal temperatures.
Dust and dirt can reduce PSU efficiency and cause overheating. Our cleaning services ensure your power supply is dust-free and performs at its best.
A failing power supply doesn’t just affect itself—it can create a cascade of problems throughout your entire computer system with consequences ranging from minor inconveniences to catastrophic hardware damage.
When your PSU fails, your computer won't turn on regardless of how many times you press the power button, leaving you unable to work, game, or access important files. Partial PSU failures cause random crashes during important tasks, potential data loss from sudden shutdowns without proper closure, and frustrating intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose without proper testing equipment.
Unstable voltage output from a failing PSU can permanently damage your motherboard, graphics card, hard drives, and other expensive components through voltage spikes or drops. These secondary failures often cost far more than the PSU itself, with damaged motherboards or graphics cards requiring hundreds of dollars in replacement costs. A $50 PSU failure can easily cause $500+ in collateral damage if not addressed promptly.
Unexpected shutdowns risk corrupting your operating system, losing unsaved work and important documents, damaging files and applications requiring reinstallation, and causing extended downtime while problems are diagnosed and resolved. For businesses, PSU failures mean lost productivity, missed deadlines, and potential revenue impact during system downtime.
Severely failing PSUs can overheat to dangerous levels, produce burning smells indicating fire risk, create electrical hazards in extreme cases, and potentially damage your home or office electrical system. These safety risks make prompt professional repair or replacement essential, not optional.
Our team comprises certified technicians with extensive electronics repair experience, specialised training in power supply diagnostics and repair, and professional-grade testing equipment that accurately measures voltage outputs and load performance.
Professional PSU repair typically costs 40-60% less than purchasing new equivalent units, preserves high-quality power supplies worth repairing, and avoids the environmental waste of disposing of perfectly repairable units.
We offer same-day diagnostics for most power supplies brought to our Melbourne location, 24-48 hour repairs for standard issues, and emergency express services for critical business situations. Our efficient processes minimise your downtime and get you back to work quickly.
We repair PSUs from all major manufacturers, including Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, and more, handle units from basic 300W models to high-performance 1200W+ gaming and workstation supplies, and service both consumer and commercial/server power supplies.
Every repair includes our comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labor, giving you confidence and protection for your investment. We use quality replacement components and stand behind our work because we're confident in our repair quality.
As a Melbourne business, we provide convenient local drop-off and pickup, face-to-face consultation and service, and no shipping delays or costs associated with sending units away. Supporting local means faster service and personalised attention to your needs.

Repair costs typically range from $60-$120 for common issues like fan replacement or capacitor repairs, to $100-$200 for more complex voltage regulation or circuit board repairs. We provide free initial assessment and transparent quotes before any work begins.
Most PSU repairs are completed within 24-48 hours of diagnosis, with same-day service available for simple repairs and urgent situations. Complex repairs requiring special parts may take 3-5 business days.
It depends on the PSU quality and repair cost—repairing high-quality units (Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA premium models) usually makes excellent financial sense, while cheap generic PSUs are often better replaced. We provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
Yes, absolutely—unstable voltage output can damage motherboards, graphics cards, storage drives, and other components through voltage spikes or drops. This is why addressing PSU problems quickly is crucial to preventing far more expensive secondary damage.
Common warning signs include the computer won’t turn on or powers on intermittently, random shutdowns, especially under load, strange noises (buzzing, clicking, whining), burning smells, and system instability, including crashes and blue screens.
Yes, all our PSU repairs include warranty coverage on parts and labor performed, typically 30-90 days depending on the repair type. We stand behind our work and will address any repair-related issues at no additional cost.
Absolutely—we repair commercial-grade and server PSUs, high-wattage gaming and workstation units (1000W+), and redundant power supply configurations. Our technicians have experience with both consumer and enterprise-level equipment.
We strongly advise against DIY PSU repair—power supplies contain high-voltage capacitors that remain dangerous even when unplugged, require specialized testing equipment for proper diagnosis, and improper repairs can create fire hazards or damage other components. Professional repair is safer and more reliable.
Regular maintenance helps prevent failures including keeping your computer in clean, dust-free environments, ensuring adequate ventilation around your PC, using surge protectors or UPS systems, avoiding overloading your PSU beyond its rated capacity, and having periodic professional cleaning and inspection.
