A no-power fault is usually the 180 W PSU. Replacement with a matched unit costs $135-$195 and is completed same or next day with a 90-day warranty. We test the board first so you only pay if we fix it.

Yes. Swapping the original 2.5-inch HDD for a 500 GB or 1 TB SSD costs $165-$265 including cloning and data recovery. The machine then boots in under 20 seconds and runs cooler.
