A Diagnostic Service is typically where most devices start at a repair shop. An experienced Technician should be able to listen to the problems a client is having and have a good idea what the problem is, usually after asking some follow up questions.

This is why a thorough Diagnostic of both Hardware and Software is critical.

If the cost of repair is beyond what the value of the device would be, we'll tell you. Our goal is to give you the facts you need to make an informed financial decision.

What most people don't realize computers require an Operating System (hereafter referred to as “OS”) . Some use Windows, MacOS or Chrome OS, others a distribution of Linux. What these four have in common is that they all run on desktop or laptop PCs, those things we traditionally refer to as computers. Times have changed though, and desktop PCs have lost their monopoly on the term “computer. ” Your phone, your TV, your watch, your car: these days you will be hard-pressed to find something without a computer inside of it. The OS has an important role of translating information between the physical components of your device (hardware) and the programs/apps installed on your device (software) .
