A simple repair process.
Clear steps so customers know what happens before spending money on parts or repair.
Submit request
Send your device model, symptoms, photos if helpful, and whether you are local to Central PA.
Review symptoms
The problem is narrowed down before parts are ordered or repair work begins.

You approve labor, parts, shipping, and any data backup needs before moving forward.
Repair or recover
The repair, upgrade, backup, or recovery attempt is completed and explained clearly.
Pricing
Fixed pricing for common jobs.
Pricing is fixed for common jobs, not hourly. Final cost depends on the repair needed, device condition, and replacement parts. Parts and shipping are separate unless specifically included.
Basic hardware diagnostic
Initial inspection and troubleshooting for common laptop or desktop hardware issues. Diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair work.
Advanced diagnostic / no-boot troubleshooting
Deeper troubleshooting for systems that will not power on, will not boot, crash, or have multiple symptoms. Diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair work.
RAM or SSD installation
Install customer-provided RAM or SSD. Operating system install or data transfer is separate.
SSD upgrade with data transfer
Install SSD and move data from the old drive when possible.
Operating system install or reinstall
Install or reinstall Windows, macOS, or Linux where supported by the device.
Backup setup
Set up an external-drive backup or help organize important files for safer storage.
Data recovery attempt
Attempt to recover files from a failing drive, old computer, or non-booting system. Severe drive damage may require a specialist lab.
Battery, fan, keyboard, screen, or other part replacement
Labor for common part replacement jobs. Exact pricing depends on model difficulty and part availability.
Local outcall service
Available in the Central PA area when the job can be handled on-site.
Parts and shipping
Repair pricing is for labor/service unless stated otherwise. Any required parts are added to the total. Diagnostic fees are waived if the repair work is approved. For shipped repairs, the customer is responsible for shipping costs both ways.
Trust and transparency
Clear repair recommendations before you spend money.
If a repair does not make sense compared to replacing the computer, you will be told before parts are purchased.
Data privacy respected
Customer files are only accessed when needed for backup, recovery, or repair work. Personal data is not copied, shared, or viewed unnecessarily.
Parts approved first
Parts, shipping, and labor are discussed before purchase so there are no surprise repair costs.
Repair vs. replace advice
You get an honest recommendation when a device may not be worth the repair cost.
Service area
