We repair and upgrade the HP Z2 Tower G5 at our workshop in Bermondsey, from power and start-up faults to storage upgrades and data recovery. It is a workstation from 2020. Parts are matched to the exact chassis, so the model number matters when we quote.

What we repair on the HP Z2 Tower G5
Power supply repair
We test and replace failed power supplies. Many branded desktops use a manufacturer-specific unit, which we match to the exact chassis.
Windows repair and reinstall
The HP Z2 Tower G5 meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
Graphics repair
We diagnose and replace failed graphics cards, and check that the power supply and case can take the card you want before an upgrade.
SSD and storage upgrade
The HP Z2 Tower G5 has room for SATA drives and, on most boards, an M.2 SSD. The usual upgrade is an SSD for Windows and programs with the old drive kept for storage.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
The HP Z2 Tower G5 uses standard desktop memory. We check the board’s limits and fit matched modules.
Overheating and fan repair
Overheating and noise are usually dust or a failing fan. We clean the system, replace what has failed and check temperatures under load.
We also carry out motherboard repair, virus removal on the HP Z2 Tower G5, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
Known issues with the Z workstation range
- Workstations often carry several drives, sometimes in RAID, and ECC memory. Tell us the configuration before any storage or memory work.
- Power supplies and motherboards are specific to the chassis on most workstation towers, so we match parts by exact model.
Data recovery from the HP Z2 Tower G5
Desktop drives are removed and imaged on our own equipment. If the HP Z2 Tower G5 has more than one drive, or a RAID array, bring the whole machine so we can see how it was set up.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the HP Z2 Tower G5 be upgraded?
Drives can be added or replaced. Memory uses standard slots and can be increased.
My HP Z2 Tower G5 will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Is a 2020 HP Z2 Tower G5 still worth repairing?
It depends on the fault. A battery, SSD or charging socket is usually worth doing. A major board repair on an older machine may cost more than the machine is worth, and if that is the case we will say so.
Where do I find the model number on my workstation?
The model is on a label on the back, side or underside of the machine.
