Stephen was able to walk me through getting it to a safe place over the phone. I chose Slave To The Machine because of its proximity to my home office but I didn't even need to wait for an appointment or go to their location. Thanks again for the great service and for being 'real Portland' at its best! I will be hiring STTM for my next issue which is a hardware compatibility issue.

I was looking for a reliable PC repair service to troubleshoot my brand-new gaming PC, and I'm so…read moreglad I found Slave To The Machine! Unlike other PC repair services that jump straight to charging for a diagnosis, Stephen actually took the time to give me troubleshooting advice--for FREE! Stephen genuinely cared about saving me money and even suggested that I contact the PC brand's customer service first before having him work on my PC. His honesty and willingness to help without asking for anything in return really stood out. If I ever need professional repairs, I know exactly where to go. Highly recommend!

After spending forty years as a computer engineer, I thought I could change the keyboard in my own…read morelaptop. I ordered a new keyboard, looked at a youtube repair video, and realized that I was completely out of my depth. I took it to Wolfie who deftly disassembled the entire machine, discovered that I had the wrong keyboard, then built up a replacement with pieces from the old and new keyboards. This involved careful work on plastic pieces. The result has worked great now for a couple of weeks. I give Wolfie my highest recommendation.

Communication was off and on, but that's to be expected when chatting through a third party like…read morethe Yelp app. Once we hooked up, Wolfie(?) was concise and accurate about his pricing and the work I requested. It went well and I had my screen replaced in about an hour. This was on a foreign phone (Oppo Find N5, a fold phone not sold in the US) that 3 other shops declined to work on. Pricing was good also, so I give this repair service an AAA+++ rating.

YouTube said it's common after a drop that the screws break and that results in the rattling sound. I contacted five other repair shops and no one but Fixoid said they could do the repair. Also, Reddit reviews as of 2026 HIGHLY recommend Fixoid's Vancouver location - no idea why it's rated so low on yelp Called to confirm the price and their hours. Came in around 4:30pm mid week and slapped down $100 ($110 with tax).

Entropy Solutions is a lifesaver! My Canon Pixma MX492 printer stopped working after I cleared a…read morepaper jam. It gave me a 5100 error code. I work from home, so I need my multi-function printer for printing, scanning, and copying pretty regularly. I first tried calling Canon, but my printer was just months out of warranty so Canon didn't offer any IT support or repair services, but directed me to their website for tutorials. I read a bunch of tutorials on the Canon website and also googled the problem and watched several YouTube videos. I tried cleaning the cartridge glider and following other online suggestions. Nothing worked. I was beginning to fear I'd have to shell out $$$ for a brand new printer after I had just bought this one last year. Finally, I yelped a bunch of printer/computer repair services in my area. Nick was the among the first to get back to me and seemed confident he could repair my printer. The others I reached out to either said they do not service Canons, said they didn't think they could fix the printer, or just didn't get back to me at all. Nick was responsive to all my questions and gave me a fair rate, an estimate of the time required, and assurance that I would not be charged if he couldn't solve the problem. He was quick and easy to coordinate with for safe and easy drop-off and pick-up of my printer, as well as convenient payment via Venmo. He fixed my printer in the same day, in less than 2 hours, ran some tests, and gave me some maintenance suggestions on top of that. Needless to say, I was impressed and grateful. Stellar service! Responsive, fair, professional, friendly, quick, and effective. A real tech whiz. I'll be coming back with any future IT/computer/peripheral repair needs!

It was a great learning experience for me, and as well, a testament to the reviews that have been left on here previous to mine. I would /highly/ recommend this business for any computer issues, as they will go above and beyond, to ensure you receive service, even if they cannot work on your computer immediately. Going forward, this will be the only place I go to, in the Portland Area, to have my electronic devices worked on. Thank you again for the superb customer service, Flux Computer Repair.
