Thought…read moreit might be from a bad graphics card, but he was able to diagnose the problem quickly and recommended either replacing the motherboard or the component on the motherboard that had burned out, giving me the options and the pricing for both. He steered me to the cheaper option, and he fixed it within a few hours. I picked it up, and my computer is now working fine! Vary happy with his advice, repairs, and professionalism.

Wang PC fixed my computer in two days for way cheaper than any other repair center would have given me. Martin is also incredibly nice, and there is a "every customer is important" vibe that other repair centers don't give. Martin also went above and beyond replacing the fans and also cleaned the inside of my keyboard (in two days) for no added charge. Needless to say they have earned a lifelong customer.

My Uncle is 92, and the amount of patience and kindness he had towards my Uncle was amazing! He was even going to purchase new speakers for my Uncle, bring them over and install them because he was trying to make things easier for my Uncle who was wearing worn out earphones, and he was not going to charge us for them or his time. I ended up ordering them myself as I did not want him to be out of pocket any more, and he even made himself available for ME when I had trouble installing them on my Uncles computer. He is seriously worth every penny and you will not be disappointed. I know who I am going to call when I have problems!!! Thank you soooo much Paul!

My 2020 iPad Air needed its screen replaced, but since it's an older gen, I wondered if it would be…read moreworth it to repair or if I should just bite the bullet and get the newest gen. So, I reached out to a bunch of local tech repair businesses - Jack of Fix 'N Repair responded immediately, but I wanted to wait for more quotes so I could compare... well, 7 other business responses later, it turned out that not only was this place the fastest to respond, but they also gave the quickest turnaround time estimate (30-45 mins vs. 2-48 hrs) and the most competitive price ($20-50 lower than all the others). I went in the next day and was fully expecting to be told the iPad needed to be left there overnight (there were several others customers queued) and that there were other fees in addition to the quote... but nope! Every estimate was accurate: my iPad was returned to me within 30-45 mins with a flawless screen and no hidden charges. They exceeded every expectation on all fronts - the next time I smash a device, I'm going straight there. Also, HUGE shout-out to Matt, the one who did the repairs! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to; I imagine it can be a stressful environment just due to the nature of the job... handling expensive, fragile tech while surrounded by anxious/impatient clients who just came in from rush hour traffic in the middle of a heat wave? I know I wouldn't keep my cool, so it's all the more impressive that bro had such positive vibes. Not all heroes wear capes!!!

Someone else already used the term "miracle worker", so I'll have to come up with something else…read more I have a Chuwi HiPad 11 Plus. It is one of the few Android tablets with a 4 x 3 aspect ratio...just like an iPad and perfect for reading letter-size PDFs. I managed to mangle the charging port. (Note to self: If you're inserting a charging cable, at an angle, and it resists, don't keep pushing!) All the wires were bent, rendering it unrepairable. It would have to be replaced. I asked ChatGPT for places that might be able to replace it. I got a list and and went down them one-by-one. No luck. They couldn't get the part, etc. Michael's wasn't even on the list! One of the places that was on the list is Fix 'n' Repair in Watertown. They couldn't handle it, but "there's a computer repair place around the corner. Maybe they could do something.." That's what brought me to Michael's. Whoever was manning the store looked at it and pronounced: they could get the part, but there was a little ding in the bezel. He was concerned that the screen might crack. If I knew the risks, it would be $95. An unbranded 4 by 3 tablet would cost about $200. He thought I'd be better off with a new tablet. But, then, I'd have this "potentially" fixable tablet sitting around mocking me. I left, leaning towards a new tablet. But, the next day I went back with a proposition: Don't order any parts. Try removing the screen. If it cracked, I'd pay whatever he thought was fair. If it didn't, we'd proceed with the repair. It didn't, but there was one small spot on the left edge that showed up blue on a black screen. It wasn't noticeable on a white green screen. He would proceed. What we thought might take a week or two (getting parts and repair) was done over the weekend. I couldn't be happier!

The Apple Store does not repair units as elderly as mine, and they recommended a "certified Apple repair center" in Allston. I called them, and they told me it would take 2-3 business days AFTER they receive my computer (so obviously, they won't order the part until my computer is physically in their hands) and it would be $299. I called Orromac: $250 and they could get it back to me in 24 hours. So I dropped it off at 5:45pm yesterday. Osama called me at noon to tell me it was ready. It started up like a charm. So MUCH faster turnaround at $50 less. I am surprised other reviewers found this proprietor to be unfriendly. He could not have been nicer.
