Hardware that needs hands-on work
- Broken screens, liquid damage, swollen batteries, dead power supplies, and failed ports require physical inspection.
- Drive, memory, fan, keyboard, and internal cable replacement cannot be performed through software.
- Stop using equipment that smells hot, sparks, swells, or has visible damage.
Network work that needs the location
- A complete provider outage prevents a remote session.
- Damaged cables, wall jacks, access-point placement, and building wiring need someone present.
- A remote diagnosis may still identify which provider or technician to call.
The honest next step
- Cody will not force a remote session onto an unsuitable problem.
- Back up accessible data before transporting equipment when possible.
- Ask a repair shop about diagnostics, parts, timing, and data handling before leaving a device.
Stop guessing when the problem keeps coming back
Contact Cody for a quick fit check if the computer partly works but you are unsure whether the cause is software or hardware.
