Out of the numerous laptop repair shops in the area, TechCare was the first to tell me they could…read morelook at my Razer Blade 15 laptop. I received "No" after "No", but Ray reached out and said he had an idea. My gaming laptop was no longer powering on and due to its model, essentially every repair shop said they couldn't handle it. I was able to come by and drop off my laptop for a diagnostic check. An hour later Ray was done and sent me a highly detailed Diagnostic report with findings, causes, and recommendations. My issue required a full motherboard replacement so we weren't able to proceed with any fixes. Regardless, I am grateful to the expertise and support Ray has given me for the laptop. If I have any other pc issues in the future, I would return to TechCare, they know what they're talking about!

My computer crashed the other night right around 5:30 pm so I got on the old interweb and found…read morethat TechCare was open until 6pm. I called them at 5:50pm and spoke with Ray "I think he is the owner" anyway I told him what was going on and he said to come on down and that he would wait for me. When I arrived I noticed that they have a big Yelp banner on the window, I walked in and spoke with Ray about the problem and showed him a picture of what the error was, he was up front with me and explained that if the hard drive was bad that he would not be able to save my data. I told him to do his best to save my data. The next day he texted me with a quote and said that he would be able to fix it and save my data. I told him to fix it. About 3 hours later he texted me again and said to come on by and pick it up. Now when I arrived he didn't just give me my computer and send me on my way, he sat me down and explained that I have 3 different options to save my data just in case the hard drive or computer crashes in the future. He also said that if I'm not sure how to back up the hard drive or need help with anything to call him and he would walk me through it. When all was said and done, he charged me $299 out the door and my machine is working flawlessly!! Thank you Ray! You got a customer for life.

I first thought it was just a small issue, so he stopped by my apartment to take a look. While he was there, it became clear that my motherboard needed to be replaced. I'm a student so my PC is super important to me, but I'm also pretty broke. Michael not only fixed my PC in less than a week, but he also found me a new motherboard at a discounted rate! My PC is now up and running perfectly. He even cleaned it up before giving it back, removing the dust and organizing my wiring, and he did it all for a super great price.

This was a somewhat convoluted repair, but I'll try and be brief ;)…read more I contacted Kongra appliance repair on Yelp and asked for assistance with a refrigerator that suddenly had decided to stop keeping cool. It's a Maytag side-by-side, and it's had some issues with the freezer coils icing up very 12-18months, and I'd just manually defrost them myself, but the fridge thing was new. Note, the appliance is more than 20 years old, but it's worked very well all this time that I really wanted to first see what it would cost to fix it before entertaining the idea of a forklift upgrade and buying a whole new unit. Russ came out that day and quickly identified a faulty damper (mechanically controlled 'vent' that lets cold freezer air into the refrigerator side), but wasn't certain the part would be available given the appliance's age. The next day he told me he HAD found a source for the part, and it'd arrive in a couple of days. Since my fridge was holding at 60F, I was incentivized to get the repair done ASAP. My freezer, at the time, was still pumping down to -10F. Two days later, Russ's co-worker "Kevin" came out and installed the new damper. It was not a simple process given it's mounted between the two sides (Freezer/Fridge), under the thermostat controls and in the far back corner. He got it installed, and confirmed it was toggling open and closed...However, during this time, my freezer started to NOT keep cold anymore and was up to 30F. In the past, when the coils iced up, this would happen, but I had just done the manual defrost 10 weeks ago. I asked if the damper could have had anything to do with the freezer issues, and he confirmed, that no, couldn't be related. Trying to figure out why the freezer wasn't pumping down anymore led to discussions of the possibility I could have a coolant leak, bad compressor and other potential more than $1500 costs (meaning, just buy a new appliance) which they'd need to come out and check to confirm. In the meantime, I said I'd check the coils again to see if they had iced up. So, I checked the coils, and again, much sooner than usual, they were completely covered in ice, so I did another manual defrost using the recommendation Kevin provided which was much better than what I've been doing over the years. I asked Russ, since we were working on the appliance anyway, if he could check to see if my defrost function was working (since it didn't appear to be). Post coil defrost, the freezer was cooling down again so it was clear this wasn't a compressor or coolant issue (yay). Kevin came out and confirmed the defrost heating element resistance was in spec, the thermostat controller was working and there was nothing in the freezer side that would be causing the ice up...so, back to the fridge side to check the logic board. He confirmed that the logic board's defrost function wasn't working right, so they found a new controller for me (for a greater than 20year old appliance). One day later they had it in hand to install. After installation, Kevin confirmed by triggering the defrost that the new board was working properly. With my de-iced coils, new damper and now new controller board, I waited a weekend to see if everything would still keep working. After 2 days, my fridge was down to 40F, my freezer was back at -10F, and I can hear the compressor cycling on and off as the defrost function runs (which I haven't heard in years, but didn't know I should have been listening for). Everything is working great, and I really appreciate the fact that my invoiced price didn't increase even though it seemed clear the level of difficulty they anticipated was greater. Very happy with the service, communication, speed of resolution, knowledge and friendliness of Russ and Kevin and highly recommend them.

The professional representative was eager to help with anything and ensured a free diagnostic.. I totally understand the need to charge for more in depth diagnostics. I am appreciative for your honesty. I hope it won't be a major fix but if it is I am prepared for the outcome and trust your knowledge and recommendations. I used you in the past but the location on McGlincy was out of the way. Now I am happy you are in the Downtown Campbell area . I will be happy to update my review after the diagnostic and even if I don't have it repaired I will work with you and hope to find a good laptop with all my specifications. Remember you should always have a phone number of a reputable repair shop that has remote service available. Patrick called me and said it would be $200 for advanced diagnostics and he suggested to go along with it rather than buying a new laptop. This is always a good question to ask is it worth fixing?

I find it such a relief to know I can call someone who knows my system, knows and advises on the products I need (from software to hardware). At times I need a home visit, usually they can log on and solve my problem. Sometimes I can take my equipment by their office. Their prices are reasonable for the convenience of someone who knows my needs, consistently over time. Their advice has been consistently accurate and helpful. I have tried others (and they they have advised me to go to Office Depot when that was the better option. They were helpful too). I go back to Mike for guidance and answers.

I needed my home networking ethernet ports identified and fixed for my mesh WiFI backhaul (some of the terminations didn't work), as well as organized and label cables. Garry was able to do all of this in a relatively short amount of time. In addition, Garry was transparent and upfront - I thought I had Cat5e wiring to make use of the 1Gbps, but turns out I only had Cat5. Garry let me know and asked me if I wanted to continue doing the job, but gave me the option to not continue if this wasn't expected. I appreciate the transparency and honesty of contractors, so this was a huge plus. Also, Garry is just a super nice and friendly being. Honestly - friendly, honest, knowledgable contractors are a dime-a-dozen. Highly recommend QuickGenie!

A dignostic was done to determine and confirm the problem, and the diagnostic fee is applied to the total cost of the repair, if you choose to have QuickGenie service it. Gary confirmed that the problem was a dead CPU fan. I thought the estimate for parts and labor was fair and approved the repair, and the final cost did match the quote given to me. And the repair was well within the estimated timeframe as well Garry was helpful in answering questions, including questions outside the scope of the repair, and he went beyond by cleaning the keyboard surface and screen as well. Mich appreciated! The laptop has been running fine without any cooling issues, and I am very satisfied with the result.
