HP EliteDesk 705 G5 Repair — your questions answered
How much does it cost to repair an HP EliteDesk 705 G5 that won't turn on?
A no-power fault on the EliteDesk 705 G5 is most often the internal 310 W PSU. We test the rails first; if the PSU has failed we fit a genuine HP replacement for $180-$260. If the motherboard is also damaged the repair may not be economical.
Can you recover data from a clicking hard drive in my EliteDesk 705 G5?
Yes. We image the failing SATA drive to a new SSD using hardware duplicators in our clean-room area. Data recovery starts at $220 and is performed before any OS reinstall or upgrade work.
Is it worth upgrading an HP EliteDesk 705 G5 to Windows 11?
The AMD Ryzen PRO 3000 series CPUs in the 705 G5 meet Windows 11 requirements. A clean install plus an SSD and RAM upgrade typically costs $300-$450 and gives another three to five years of reliable use.
How long does a power supply repair take on the EliteDesk 705 G5?
We usually have the correct 310 W or 500 W HP unit in stock. Replacement and testing takes under two hours if booked as a workshop job, or we can complete it same day during an onsite visit in most capital cities.
Do you replace swollen capacitors on the EliteDesk 705 G5 motherboard?
We do. After confirming the fault with a multimeter we desolder the bulging 5 V and 3.3 V capacitors and fit 105 °C low-ESR replacements. The job costs $240-$340 and carries our 90-day warranty.
