Do not keep forcing restarts, charging attempts or DIY fixes if the laptop has liquid damage, heat, scam pop-ups, strange noises or important files at risk.
Write down what changed, check the charger or connection only if it is safe, and take photos of any message, damage or symptom.
Send the laptop model, what happened, photos and your suburb through Quick Help so we can suggest the safest next step.
If the cost, risk or downtime looks high, compare assessment, repair, replacement and backup options before approving work.
If you are unsure which page to use next, call 0452 323 571 and we can point you to the most useful next step instead of making you guess.
