YY Computer is in Oakland Chinatown on Jackson St. I made an appt, and dropped by in the morning. While I was there, they did a quick check and found the hard drive (HD) to be damaged.

I wanted to share my experience and concerns regarding my data recovery evaluation. I am not…read moresomeone who typically writes negative reviews. I'm about uplifting local businesses. However, because I work in the technology field, I felt it was important to share my experience after taking the time to look further into the situation and to help others going through a similar situation. Initially, I did not jump to conclusions. Instead, I sought additional opinions from other professional recovery companies to better understand available options. That's most important. Before posting this review, I reached out directly to Emergency Guy to give them an opportunity to address my concerns and provide clarification. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response. I came to Emergency Guy seeking guidance after experiencing issues with my HDD and SSD. Overall, the staff and technicians were respectful. However, I did have one interaction with an individual staff member who appeared overwhelmed and frustrated - possibly the owner, Phillip? While that affected the tone of that particular interaction, I understand that these situations can happen. It did not deter me from my overall experience, as I continued working with other staff members who were professional and helped improve the overall tone of the communication. I paidfor an evaluation and assessment, including shipping costs. During a follow-up phone conversation, I was asked over the phone whether I would consider increasing my budget to approximately $2,000 so the HDD could be sent to another company. While I was open to discussing available options, I ultimately decided not to proceed. Approximately four weeks later or longer, I was informed that the HDD platters were damaged and that there was essentially no realistic chance of recovering my data, even through another recovery provider. I was also asked whether I wanted the drive recycled, which I understood as disposing of the device, and I chose not to proceed with that option. I sought additional professional opinions. After receiving a second and third evaluation from other data recovery companies, I was advised that the condition of the HDD did not appear to match the assessment I had originally received. This experience raised concerns about the accuracy of the initial evaluation. Since I paid it, I expected a clear and accurate diagnosis of the drive's condition, along with realistic information regarding possible recovery options. My concern is not that recovery was uncertain -- I understand that data recovery can be complex and that outcomes are never guaranteed. My concern is that I was told it was beyond recovery, yet further evaluations resulted in my data being successfully recovered. My advice to anyone going through a similar situation is to seek multiple professional opinions. I chose Emergency Guy because I believe in supporting local businesses, and I appreciate the services they provide. However, when dealing with important data recovery decisions, it is always wise to consult other qualified professionals. If something does not feel right, take the time to ask questions, gather information, and get additional opinions before making a final decision. If someone becomes dismissive with questions - that's a sign to move on immediately.

Computerland has very real problems concerning privacy and safety. The repair technician I left my laptop with was extremely unprofessional, made me feel unsafe, and possibly kept files duplicated from my laptop. He texted me all week while my computer was in the shop, asking me where I hung out, if I went to the bar, and what I was doing over the weekend. At one point he left a voicemail saying he noticed my home address was in Oakland and asked if he could deliver my laptop to my house after he got off work. He also backed-up my files for free when I has said I did not need a backup, and then texted me about how much he loved the "artistic" photos he found, by which he meant nude photos of me. I made a complaint with Apple, since they have to comply with Apples strict privacy policies in order to be Apple-certified. The Apple employee I made the complaint with was horrified when she saw the texts on my phone. Getting my computer back and making a complaint about the technicians behavior was a nightmare. I had to come back to the store twice. I was told I would need to talk to the manager, but the manager was even more defensive than the employees. He said I had misunderstood the texts, that no one cared what type of pictures I had on my laptop, and that my information was safe. I made him read the texts but he kept saying his employee "wasn't from here", I guess to suggest that he didn't mean any of the texts in the way I was reading them. After 10 minutes of anyone refusing to apologize, I left angry. The manager chased me down the street, asked me to come back inside, and told me he would make the technician pay for my refund. When I got back in the shop he said I would need to come back on a different day to be refunded, once they had their legal team draw up paperwork for me to sign. I refused, and asked why they needed legal paperwork when they would not apologize or admit wrongdoing. Finally, he gave me a refund, apologized for MY "misunderstanding", and asked me to handwrite and sign a note saying I would not take any legal action against Computerland. I would love to find an alternative to waiting for the apple store, but Computerland has no respect for my privacy or safety. read more

Was referred by a friend to this place when my Lenovo T61 got bogged down by a stubborn error message. She told me they helped her with her computer problems fast, fair and efficiently. She told me though to look for the nice guy. Well, either I lucked out or they are all nice guys cuz I just got who I got...a nice guy...and then another nice guy. I was promised ahead of time what it would likely cost, $120 .(for me this was steep only in that I had only paid $130 including shipping for my laptop, but Berkeley Computer store had given me a quote of $130. In the end, they took pity on me and no, I didn't have to gravel and charged me a $100. They fixed the problem and cleaned up the viruses my scanners didn't detect. I had a great conversation with Gus who works there and joked with him that I would not only tell folks to go see him (and his colleagues) but that if they did, they might just get all sorts of unexpected answers, ...such as ..the meaning of life, or marriage counseling...you name it! But if you're in a hurry, and want just the facts, they're great for this too...Customers came and left swiftly and these guys were quick and to the point and most definitely rose to the occasion. They are clear in their communication, fair, professional, efficient and overall pleasant. So if you're looking for computer help...or even to buy a used computer, go check these guys out. They are as good as it gets! read more

I received service under Apple warranty here, so I have no idea about pricing. For customer service and expertise, however, you can't beat this place! They are right near campus and more accessible than any Genius Bar -- you don't need to make an appointment days ahead of time to get them to help you. I had an issue that I wasn't sure an issue with my screen would be covered by warranty, but they first took some photos so I could keep using my computer while they contacted and checked with Apple. When Apple gave them the go-ahead, they also very quickly received a replacement part (within 24 hours, I think). They were extremely communicative throughout this processes. Then, they were very flexible to let me drop off my computer and pick it back up with very very minimal downtime. I'm sure not all issues are as straightforward and easy to fix, so I don't want to give the wrong impressions about how fast service can be, but by their attitudes, I could tell that they are smart, efficient, and they are certified premium service providers though Apple for a good reason. Just for the fact that getting an issue resolved with Computerland's help was so awesome, I right away bought extended Applecare warranty so they can help me if anything happens to my Mac in the future. read more

Late last month, I gave up trying to do something for which I completely lack the skill, i.e., transfer data from my old iMac to my new MacBook Air and set up a Time Machine backup to an external hard drive. I followed my son-in-law's recommendation to take my devices to Computerland. From the moment I walked in I knew my son-in-law sent me to the right place. Hadi explained what he would do, i.e., complete the data transfer and set up a Time Machine backup from the MacBook Air to the external hard drive. It would take 2-3 days. He would call when it was ready for pick up. Two business days later, Hadi called. He waited patiently while I, 86 years old, confirmed I could navigate the new device; Hadi assured me he'd be available to sort out any problems. A couple weeks later, he emailed to ask whether I was able to access my files and reminded me to reply if I needed further help. I enthusiastically recommend Computerland for Hadi's quality work, patient customer service and affordable pricing. read more

It's not the shiniest computer repair shop, but they do a very good and honest job. I have a MacbookPro. Its hard-drive has died a couple of times in the past year and they've fixed it quickly and inexpensively (free last case since I have apple care). They're the only non-Apple store in the area who accept AppleCare. The guy has been very nice. If you call about your computer, or just stop in, he'll give you an update, warns you of expenses before they do things. Generally, the people who fix computers are petty and the people at Apple are downright pricks. Computerland does a damn good job and they're honest and nice about it. Turn around time for a hard drive replacement (including diagnosis), was 4 business days (went through the weekend). Previous time I brought it in for cleaning and a few parts to be replaced, they had it ready Thursday when I brought it in on Tuesday. read more

I needed out of warranty repair on a Toshiba Satellite A300. I broke the LCD and the replacements I got from eBay didn't work. (I've taken laptops apart before; it's a PITA.) I work close enough to Berkeley to give ComputerLand a shot, and they did great. They got the right part, got express shipment of it on my request (cost a bit more but oh well), and sent me on my way with a reasonable bill. Nermin and Eduardo are pleasant, helpful, and professional; keep a clean shop; and nicely replaced a screw I lost in my own repair attempt. In eBay terms: A++ would repair again. PS: In fact I *will* repair again... my MacBook's keyboard got eaten by a macaw, and I'll be sending it here. (The MacBook, that is, not the macaw.) read more

Most excellent service! I had a problem with the hinge on my old Acer laptop. I was worried that it may be beyond repair, as it was falling apart rapidly. The people at Compuerland took one look at it and said that it was a standard problem with laptops, and they would be able to fix it. Since they keep very busy, they were able to get working on my laptop only 3 days after I gave it in; but once they started, my laptop was fixed in 1.5 hours! The owner patiently explained the problem and the method of fixing it, which I appreciated very much. I also got a $10 discount as I carried a printout of their homepage along. I would highly recommend Computerland to anyone with desktop / laptop problems. read more

I went to Computerland long time ago and they were able to help me before with my iMac. Now I had issue with my iPhone 6 and I visit them again. My iPhone screen was cracked and they promised me they will fix It within 24 hours using original Apple parts. They told me I have to disable find my phone and back up my data before I left It. I did and they call me next day and said it was done. When I came there, they told me they send It to Apple Depot and It was replaced with the brand new iPhone 6. I could not believe I got new iPhone now for little over $100. I'm so happy and I will definitely refer them to all of my friends. Thank you guys. read more

I called Toshiba technical support after my Laptop died on me, the "teck" from India made me try everything including making sure it is plugged into the wall, but no luck with that. Then he told me that I have to ship it to some warehouse in Texas and it takes 2 to 3 weeks. After I objected to that he finally told me to take it to ComputerLand in Berkeley, so I did. The guys there at CompuerLand were so nice and knowledgable, they diagnosed the problem, replaced the system board and got it back to me in full working condition in less than 3 days. And best of all, it was all free covered under the warranty. Hi five to ComputerLand. read more

I had a great experience at ComputerLand of Berkeley. My PC couldn't boot and I had no idea what went wrong. The staff helped me diagnose the issue for free, and they patiently explained that the real problem was a damaged motherboard--likely caused by unstable voltage from a custom PSU cable I had used before. They checked everything carefully, including the power supply and GPU, and clearly explained the cause without trying to sell me anything unnecessary. Very honest, professional, and helpful.

If you have an iPhone with a logic board or motherboard issue, or Apple tells you your phone can't be repaired, do yourself a favor and come here before buying a new phone. you da goat for fixing my phone

I wanted to share my experience and concerns regarding my data recovery evaluation. I am not…read moresomeone who typically writes negative reviews. I'm about uplifting local businesses. However, because I work in the technology field, I felt it was important to share my experience after taking the time to look further into the situation and to help others going through a similar situation. Initially, I did not jump to conclusions. Instead, I sought additional opinions from other professional recovery companies to better understand available options. That's most important. Before posting this review, I reached out directly to Emergency Guy to give them an opportunity to address my concerns and provide clarification. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response. I came to Emergency Guy seeking guidance after experiencing issues with my HDD and SSD. Overall, the staff and technicians were respectful. However, I did have one interaction with an individual staff member who appeared overwhelmed and frustrated - possibly the owner, Phillip? While that affected the tone of that particular interaction, I understand that these situations can happen. It did not deter me from my overall experience, as I continued working with other staff members who were professional and helped improve the overall tone of the communication. I paidfor an evaluation and assessment, including shipping costs. During a follow-up phone conversation, I was asked over the phone whether I would consider increasing my budget to approximately $2,000 so the HDD could be sent to another company. While I was open to discussing available options, I ultimately decided not to proceed. Approximately four weeks later or longer, I was informed that the HDD platters were damaged and that there was essentially no realistic chance of recovering my data, even through another recovery provider. I was also asked whether I wanted the drive recycled, which I understood as disposing of the device, and I chose not to proceed with that option. I sought additional professional opinions. After receiving a second and third evaluation from other data recovery companies, I was advised that the condition of the HDD did not appear to match the assessment I had originally received. This experience raised concerns about the accuracy of the initial evaluation. Since I paid it, I expected a clear and accurate diagnosis of the drive's condition, along with realistic information regarding possible recovery options. My concern is not that recovery was uncertain -- I understand that data recovery can be complex and that outcomes are never guaranteed. My concern is that I was told it was beyond recovery, yet further evaluations resulted in my data being successfully recovered. My advice to anyone going through a similar situation is to seek multiple professional opinions. I chose Emergency Guy because I believe in supporting local businesses, and I appreciate the services they provide. However, when dealing with important data recovery decisions, it is always wise to consult other qualified professionals. If something does not feel right, take the time to ask questions, gather information, and get additional opinions before making a final decision. If someone becomes dismissive with questions - that's a sign to move on immediately.

I asked Ali about getting a bigger battery--he showed me the old battery and said, "You can get a bigger battery on Amazon, but I always use OEM parts--those bigger batteries swell after they're recharged a few times and it presses the little room that's inside a cellphone--it's a bad idea." I then offhandedly asked him about the USB charging port on my ebike that never worked. Without hesitation he checked it out. When it didn't work for him, he started researching it. He said to turn the bike off, he inserted the cord and then he said to turn it on. Viola! it worked. Just a very professional and friendly shop that I will trust with any problems with our family's phones in the futures.
