Virus & Spyware / Malware Removal
I'll disinfect your computer with the latest tools and repair the damage done by rootkits and other malware. I'll even do what I can to help you avoid viruses in the future, including free anti-virus / security utilities, updates and general consultation.
And by the way, if you're looking a very effective security suite, I strongly recommend
ESET Smart Security (NOD32 Antivirus). And no, they aren't a sponsor.. It is just a very, very good antivirus software.
Laptop Hardware Repair
Have other shops turned you down or given you a ridiculous $500 quote? Well, you're in luck. :-)
I work on all brands, including Apples... and even if it is completely dead, I'm sure I can fix it. Some of the things I do include soldering new DC power jacks, LCD panel & inverter repair / replacement, hinges / frame & case repair, system board (motherboard) repair and replacement, hardware upgrades and more.
I never charge more than $99 for labor on laptop repairs, so notebook repair accounts for the majority of my work these days. I have the expertise and patience to get the job done right. There's no better place to take it to and I won't turn you down, no matter how bizarre and difficult the issue.
Networking & Internet
Whether you need help with your home or office LAN, wireless, Internet (DSL, Cable modem) or something less conventional, I'm sure I can help.
Wireless: I can install and configure your wireless or even increase the range of your existing wireless to reach spots with bad coverage or additional buildings.
Home / Office Network: Maybe you need help getting your comptuers sharing files, making backups to a local NAS (network attached storage). No problem.
Internet: Problems getting disconnected, is really slow or can't get online at all? You may need anything from a new router to a simple winsock reset, but I have the tools and knowledge to get it solved. Oh, and don't forget to have your login/passwords ready for me and give your ISP call - they might be able to help you out for free.
Software & Data Recovery
Software issues: I can solve any of your Windows problems, whether it be bluescreens, error boxes, strange behavior or more serious problems that require a format & reinstall, (aka. system restore and recovery). I can also install, upgrade or optimize your software and get your slow computer running fast again.
Data Recovery: I have the experience, patience and expensive software necessary to do a great job recovering your lost data from logical data errors. And even if your hard drive is suffering from bad electronics or failing mechanics, I can still help you. Contact me for a consultation, but most electronics problems are fixed for less than $99 and most mechnical issues are fixed for less than $400.
Don't forget, backups are important! Please don't wait until your data is gone to decide on a backup plan. Feel free to contact me for consultation on what type of backup best suits your needs.
