Dell OptiPlex repair

The OptiPlex is the standard office desktop: thousands of identical machines, built to be opened without tools. Most faults are fixed quickly and cheaply.

• Models 3000, 5000 and 7000 series (Micro, small form factor and tower)
• Sold 2015 onwards
• Where to find the number On the front or top of the case, and on the Service Tag label: "OptiPlex 7090".

Faults we repair on the OptiPlex

• Very slow. Older models with a hard drive are transformed by an SSD.
• Failed drive. Replaced, with your files moved across where they can be read.
• No picture. Graphics output, cable or monitor; we test all three.
• Loud fan. Dust in the cooler.
• Upgrades. More memory and storage.

Good to know about this model

When an OptiPlex finds a fault at start-up, its power button flashes amber and white in a pattern. Count the flashes of each colour: the pattern identifies the failed part.
