PC repair involves diagnosing, troubleshooting, and fixing hardware or software issues in personal computers (desktops and laptops). It ranges from simple software optimizations to complex hardware replacements. 1. Common Hardware Issues
Hardware repairs often require opening the computer to replace or adjust physical components [PerQueryResult(0.5.2), [PerQueryResult(0.5.7)]].
Power Supply/Dead PC: If the PC won’t turn on, it is often a faulty Power Supply Unit (PSU), motherboard, or power button connection [PerQueryResult(0.5.1), [PerQueryResult(0.5.6)]].
No Signal/Display: If the PC runs but shows nothing, check that the display cable is connected directly to the dedicated graphics card rather than the motherboard, especially on gaming PCs [PerQueryResult(0.5.3)].
Component Failure: Broken hard drives, failing RAM, or overheating CPUs/GPUs may require part replacement [PerQueryResult(0.5.5)].
Physical Damage: This includes broken screens or damage from liquid spills [PerQueryResult(0.5.5)].

Operating System Corruption: Fixing errors where Windows or other operating systems won’t boot, often requiring system repairs or reinstallation.
Virus/Malware Removal: Cleaning malicious software that slows down or disables the computer.
Driver Conflicts: Fixing hardware that doesn’t communicate correctly with the operating system. 3. DIY vs. Professional Repair
