Startup Checks Before Repair
Power Reset
Disconnect chargers, docks and USB devices, then hold the power button for 10-30 seconds. Reconnect power and try again.
Power Source
Test a different wall socket, check the charger light if present and inspect the charging port for looseness or damage.
Screen Check
If the system sounds alive but the screen is blank, raise brightness, try an external monitor and check for faint backlight images.
PC BIOS / Boot Menu
Common startup keys include F2, F10, F12, Esc or Delete. HP often uses Esc/F10, Dell F2/F12 and Lenovo Enter/F1/F2.
Apple Startup
Apple silicon Macs: hold power until Options appears. Intel Macs: try Option for boot disks, Command + R for Recovery, or Option + Command + P + R for NVRAM reset.
Stop And Ask
If there is liquid damage, burning smell, swollen battery, important data or repeated clicking from storage, stop and request advice before further testing.
Before You Arrange A Repair
When you get in touch, please say whether this is a new repair quote or an after-sales/warranty repair for a system already supplied or repaired by Marie Marie Centre.
New Quote Request
Send the device brand and model, the fault, how long it has been happening, whether it powers on, any error messages, and whether the charger is available for testing.
After-Sales Or Warranty Repair
Send the purchase or repair date, order/reference details if available, the original issue, what has changed since collection or delivery, and clear photos or a short video if the fault is visible.
Useful Extras
Mention liquid damage, drops, recent Windows or macOS updates, battery problems, unusual noises, overheating, missing keys, screen damage, data backup needs, and whether urgent turnaround is required.
Please back up important files where possible before repair. If data recovery is needed, mention this before any Windows reset, SSD replacement or storage work is started.
