Alienware Aurora R12 Repair — your questions answered
How much does it cost to replace the power supply in an Alienware Aurora R12?
A matched Dell 550 W or 1000 W unit typically costs $180-$320 including labour and testing. We bench-test the board and cables first so you only pay if the PSU is confirmed faulty.
Can you fix an Alienware Aurora R12 that keeps shutting down when gaming?
Yes. Overheating from a failing AIO pump or clogged radiator is the most common cause; we flush or replace the cooler and re-paste the CPU and GPU for stable high-load performance.
Will you repair my Alienware Aurora R12 if it has been modified with aftermarket parts?
We accept modified units. Our technicians identify any non-standard cooling or power changes during diagnosis and quote only the work required to restore reliable operation.
How long does an Alienware Aurora R12 repair usually take?
Most common jobs such as PSU or SSD replacement are completed same or next day. Complex VRM or motherboard work may take two to three days once parts arrive.
Do you offer onsite repair for the Alienware Aurora R12 in regional areas?
Yes, our technicians travel to homes and offices across Australia for desktop repairs. Remote diagnostics are also available if you prefer not to move the tower.
