What does a computer technician do, and what does one cost in Melbourne?
Geeks I.T. Melbourne sends computer technicians onsite across Melbourne suburbs at $205/hour, or helps remotely at $125/hour, with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. A technician diagnoses the fault, then fixes it or, if it is outside our scope, tells you what the fault is and what kind of repairer to take it to. For typical job costs, see our computer repair costs guide.
Typical jobs include a slow PC, viruses and scams, diagnosing a computer that won't start (Windows start-up faults can often be fixed; hardware faults beyond desktop SSD/RAM upgrades are diagnosed, and we tell you what kind of repairer to take it to), Wi-Fi dropouts, email problems, printer trouble and new device setup. If you're not sure what's wrong, our computer troubleshooting page is a good place to start.
Onsite or remote: which suits your problem?
Not sure which to choose? Our remote support works when your PC is online, and our onsite IT support covers hands-on jobs across Melbourne.
| Problem | Remote | Onsite visit |
|---|---|---|
| Slow PC or Windows errors | Suits if the PC is online | Suits if it can't get online |
| Virus, malware or scam pop-ups | Suits if the PC is online | Suits if the PC won't start |
| Wi-Fi and networking | Suits for router and account settings | Suits for cabling and multiple devices |
| Email and printer problems | Suits | Suits for cabling and hands-on setup |
| New device setup | Suits for software and accounts | Suits for hands-on setup |
| Mac support and troubleshooting | Suits | Suits |
| PC won't turn on | Not possible | Suits (diagnosis visit) |
| Desktop SSD or RAM upgrade | Not possible | Suits |
| Laptop battery replacement | Not possible | Suits |
We do software and Windows fixes, virus and malware removal, setup, Wi-Fi and networking, desktop fault diagnosis, desktop SSD/RAM upgrades, laptop battery replacement, and Mac support, setup and troubleshooting.
We do not do board-level or component repairs, screen, keyboard, charging-port or hinge replacement, laptop repairs other than battery replacement, Mac repairs (including MacBook battery replacement), or desktop repairs beyond diagnosis and desktop SSD/RAM upgrades. Those faults are diagnosed and referred. You pay the hourly rate for the diagnosis time, and we tell you what the fault is and what kind of repairer to take it to.
Repair or replace an older computer?
If an older desktop is slow but otherwise healthy, a software clean-up or a desktop SSD or RAM upgrade is usually worthwhile, because it can make the machine feel much more responsive for far less than the cost of a new one. If the problem is a hardware fault outside our scope, such as a failed motherboard or component, replacing the computer is often the better option. If you decide to replace it, home PC builds start from $1,500.
How to book and choose a local computer technician in Melbourne
Have these ready when you call 03 7057 2770 or book online:
- Make and model
- The symptom
- When it started
- Any error message
- Whether the device still turns on
With any local technician, ask for rates upfront, the scope of work, who will attend, and how remote access is started and ended.
We attend onsite across the suburbs on our service-area pages: eastern suburbs, northern suburbs, western suburbs, south-east, bayside and Melbourne CBD.
A one-off visit is enough for most households and many small offices. If your business needs ongoing support, business IT support explains our managed plans.

How much does it cost to fix an HP computer?
Geeks I.T. Melbourne charges $205/hour onsite or $125/hour remote, one-hour minimum, no call-out fee. Software, virus and setup problems on HP desktops and laptops can be fixed. We also do desktop SSD/RAM upgrades and laptop battery replacement. Other HP hardware faults are diagnosed and referred.
What is a PC repair technician?
A PC repair technician works out why a computer is misbehaving and fixes what can be fixed. At Geeks I.T. Melbourne that means Windows and software faults, virus removal, setup, networking, desktop fault diagnosis, desktop SSD/RAM upgrades and laptop battery replacement. For faults outside that scope, we explain the problem and point you to the right kind of repairer.
Can I get my PC serviced in Melbourne?
Yes. A service is a health check of the PC: we look for software problems, remove unwanted programs and malware, check updates and start-up settings, and can upgrade the SSD or RAM if the desktop is struggling. It can be done remotely if the PC is online, or onsite if it isn't.
Computer Issues We Fix Every Day
These are the exact problems Melbourne homes and businesses call us about. Sound familiar? We can have it sorted today.
Slow Computer
Taking minutes to boot up or open programs? We clean out the junk, optimise startup, upgrade to SSD if needed, and get it running like new again.
Blue Screen of Death
Crashing with a blue screen error? Could be a driver conflict, failing hardware, or corrupted system files. We diagnose and fix the root cause.
Won't Turn On
Pressing the power button and nothing happens? Could be the power supply, motherboard, or a simple connection issue. We diagnose it on site and tell you what needs fixing and what kind of repairer to take it to.
Overheating & Loud Fans
Computer getting dangerously hot or fans screaming? We clean out dust, replace thermal paste, and fix airflow so it runs cool and quiet.

Computer Repair FAQs
How much does a computer repair cost?
It depends on the issue. Simple software fixes and tune-ups are at the lower end, while more involved faults take longer. We confirm the hourly rate and the likely time before starting any work, and hardware faults outside our scope are diagnosed and referred. No hidden fees.
Do you fix old computers?
Absolutely. We work on computers of any age. Sometimes an older machine just needs a good clean-up and an SSD upgrade to feel brand new. If it is genuinely past saving, we will tell you honestly and help you find a replacement that fits your budget.
How long does a repair take?
Some issues like data recovery from a failing drive or parts that need ordering may take longer, but we will let you know the timeline upfront.
Do you come to my home?
Yes, that is our main service. We come to your home or office anywhere across greater Melbourne. No need to unplug your computer, wrap it up, and drive it somewhere. We bring our tools and parts to you.
What brands do you work on?
All the major Windows brands: HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface and custom-built PCs. For Macs we offer support, setup and troubleshooting, not repairs.
What if you can't fix it?
No surprises — we confirm the hourly rate before we start. Visits have a one-hour minimum ($205/hr onsite, $125/hr remote), and any parts are quoted before they are fitted. If the computer is beyond repair, we will help you with data recovery and recommend the best replacement options within your budget.
