Arlington apartments and condos are full of laptops that travel daily between home, the office and coffee shops. When one stops charging, freezes or will not turn on, we test the hardware to find the part that failed.
We visit homes in Ballston, Clarendon, Shirlington and Crystal City. You get the diagnosis, a fair quote and a repair that usually happens the same day.
Why Arlington calls us
Written Findings
You get a short summary of what we tested, what failed and what we replaced.
Old Parts Returned
If you want the failed part back, we hand it to you so you can see what went wrong.
Follow-Up Check
We check back after a repair to make sure the computer is still running well.
Where Hardware Fails
BIOS and startup firmware
Boot errors and failed firmware updates can stop a computer from starting. We restore and update the BIOS safely.
Drive testing and replacement
A clicking or slow drive is tested first. If it is failing, we move your data to a new solid-state drive.
Power supply testing
A computer that will not power on or shuts off at random often has a tired power supply. We test it and swap it on site.
Motherboard faults
When the board fails, we explain the cost of a replacement against a new computer so you can decide.
RAM errors and upgrades
We run a full memory test and replace any stick that reports errors, then confirm the computer is stable.
Overheating and fan repair
Dust and worn fans cause overheating. We clean the cooling system, replace fans and apply fresh thermal paste.
GPU repair and replacement
Graphics problems can come from drivers, heat or the card itself. We find which one and fix it.
USB and HDMI port repair
We repair damaged ports and connectors so cables stay put and devices connect reliably again.
Laptops that travel around Arlington
Laptops carried in bags every day wear out ports, hinges and batteries faster than desktops. We test those parts along with the drive and memory, and we tell you whether a repair or a newer laptop makes more sense for how you work.
What customers say
Daryl has been my go-to-guy for years. I have always found him to be very responsive and great at diagnosing problems. Recently, I had a hard drive failure on a Friday when I urgently needed my computer over the weekend. Daryl was able to get me up and running until he could install a new drive on Monday. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL! We are fortunate to have him in our neighborhood.Read full review
