Problems we fix on-site

  • Computer won't turn on at all, no lights or fans
  • Computer turns on, but Windows won't start or won't boot
  • Black or blank screen after the logo, or a black screen with only a cursor
  • Blue screen (BSOD) or "Your PC ran into a problem" on every restart
  • Stuck on "Preparing Automatic Repair", "Diagnosing your PC" or the spinning dots
  • "Your PC did not start correctly", "No bootable device", "Boot device not found", "Operating system not found" or "BOOTMGR is missing"
  • Keeps restarting (boot loop) after a Windows update, a power outage or a virus
  • Beeps, blinking lights or an error code at startup (for example "CPU fan error", "CMOS checksum error" or a hard drive SMART warning)
  • Problems after a BIOS, firmware or driver update, or a computer that needs one
  • Forgot your Windows password or locked out of your own computer
  • Deleted files, a formatted drive or a computer that won't start, and you need your photos and documents back
  • Slow computer, or a computer part that has stopped working
  • Moving to a new computer or a faster SSD without starting over
  • Getting rid of an old computer and want the drive wiped securely
  • PC, desktop or laptop won't power on: no power, seems dead, or the power light comes on but nothing else happens
  • Fans spin but there's no display, or the monitor says "No signal"
  • Turns on and then shuts off, freezes on the logo, or only starts in Safe Mode
  • Won't wake from sleep, or won't start after a power surge, outage or Windows update
  • Laptop won't charge, or the charging light is flashing (we'll find the cause and tell you honestly if it needs the maker's repair)

What we do

  • Windows startup repair: fix boot errors, crash loops and blue or black screen problems, including damage left behind by viruses.
  • File and data recovery: recover deleted files, files from a formatted or damaged drive, and data from a computer that won't start.
  • Windows password reset: get you back into your own computer when you've forgotten the password, and find a lost Windows product key.
  • Error codes, BIOS and firmware: read startup beep codes, blinking-light codes and BIOS error messages, update BIOS, firmware and drivers from the maker, and fix settings such as boot order and Secure Boot.
  • Hardware upgrades and part swaps: in desktops, any removable part (memory, SSD or hard drive, power supply, graphics card, Wi-Fi card); in laptops, memory and SSD. We quote the part and price before ordering anything.
  • Drive cloning and backup: copy your old drive to a new SSD or computer so everything opens just like before, make a full backup image, or securely wipe a drive before you sell or recycle it.

We work on Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 7. Your files come first: before any repair, we check what's on the drive and save what matters. We don't do board-level repairs or replace laptop screens, keyboards or motherboards. If an error code points to that kind of failure, or a problem goes beyond startup repair and data recovery, we tell you exactly what we found and refer you to the right specialist or the manufacturer.

Servers: we help with email and online services that run on servers, such as Google, Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365. We don't work on physical servers or server hardware; for those, we'll suggest you contact a server specialist.

How to book

  1. Text, email or call (303-777-7744 or sales@chbtechs.com) with the make, model and what you see. We'll confirm it's something we can fix.
  2. Prepay the first visit: the first hour of on-site labor plus a one-time $10 trip charge ($89.99). Pay with PayPal or card, or add On-site Labor to your cart (the $10 trip charge is added automatically).
  3. Pick a time. Once payment comes through, Craig emails you open times and comes to you.

Not sure it needs a visit?

Many problems are fixed without anyone coming out.

Questions

How much does it cost?
The first visit is $89.99: one hour of on-site labor plus the $10 trip charge. Extra time is $79.99 per hour. Parts, if needed, are quoted before they're ordered.

Do I bring my computer in?
No. CHB Tech Services is a home office with no shop or drop-off. We come to your home or small office.

Can you save my files?
Often, yes. When a computer won't start, the files are usually still on the drive. We check that first and tell you what can be recovered.

Can you get me back into my computer if I forgot the password?
Yes, for your own computer. We'll confirm the computer is yours, or that you're authorized to have it serviced, before resetting a password.

What if it can't be fixed?
You get an honest answer, plus options: moving your files to a new computer, or help choosing one. We'll never push a repair that isn't worth it.

How soon can you come?
Appointment times are offered by email as soon as the first visit is paid, usually within a few days.
