This week I discovered what a "Blue Screen of Death" is. Long story short, it's really not cool. After talking with a few people and pretty much being told that I should just buy a new laptop, I decided to e-mail Fix-PC to see if there was any hope in repairing my computer. Gancheng e-mailed me back the same day and told me that he would gladly come to my house to see if he could repair my computer. He also said if he could not fix it, I would not need to pay... Amazing. He came over the next day and spent 3+ hours repairing my computer. He was very nice and went out of his way to explain what he was doing and he took his time making sure that he was really fixing the problem. Simply put, Gancheng is awesome with computers and he won't charge you a ridiculous amount of money. In many cases, he charges a flat rate of $50 for labor, unless a part is needed. Thanks Gancheng! read more

He was very helpful! Came to my job to pick up my pc. I was devastated when my computer died and all I wanted was to save all my files! He gave me the bad news that it couldn't be repaired because it was a very old machine but was able to save all my information and gave them to me on CDs. Reasonable prices and great communication. Thanks! read more

OH NO! My precious laptop has contracted some vicious malware......what to do!?!?!?!?!? Well, for sure, don't call Geek Squad, who will quote you $359 minimum without even asking you what your problem actually is, and definitely don't call a corporate computer repair place, who will charge you by the hour and then bill you just as much. You might as well buy a new laptop. I found Fix-PC.us on Craigslist and emailed them as a last resort. Their expert Gancheng called me within an hour and drove to my house the same day. He was very friendly and was able to describe everything he was doing in non-computer-geek language. He fixed my laptop within an hour or so and loaded it up with free anti-virus and anti-malware software, which he happily showed me how to use. He charged me $50, as quoted, and if the problem was more complicated he would have been here for 3+ hours and still would only charge $50! I highly recommend this computer repair service:) read more

Who do you need when your computer gets a virus, who do you call when you dont have a car to bring it to them computer shops? Theres only man who can drive to your place and fix any computer problems, call Gancheng!!! LOL... I had a problem with my PC, it had this new virus called Zentom System Guard. It freezes your computer and it gets slower. I just didn't want to take the risk of having to deal with this.... so I started searching thru Yelp and found him. I called the number listed and spoke to Gancheng, inform him that I got his information on Yelp and that I was desperately seeking for help. He said he would come to my place and charge me $50 FLAT.... Thats alot of savings compare to Geek Squad where they charge $199 for this kind of problem... So Gancheng came and did what he had to do.. He completely reseted everything but had my important files back and included two anti virus..Now Im a Happy Camper. After 3 hours of work, my computer works PERFECT !!! Bye bye stupid virus!!! Gancheng has 10 years of experence with computers, so YES he completely knows what he's doing. read more

Asked him to check out a laptop I dropped and started performing slowly. He took a look and confirmed there was nothing wrong with the hard drive. Within an hour the laptop wouldn't turn on. He did not back up the files. He informed us he installed a software that may cause an error AFTER installing. He apologized for making the laptop worse and he was asked to leave. Just don't. *Update: Response to Owner We wouldn't have asked you to leave if you made us feel confident in your capabilities. You made it very clear, you believed all files were lost. You should always take precautions before working on any computer, that's just common sense. And yes, we didn't have to pay but you did very much waste our time. read more

Avoid. He came to my house to check out what was wrong with my PC...simply put it was working before he got here..after he left it wasn't working. He installed some software with out asking my permission and it messed up my computer, he even attempted to take it apart and thought I thought something seemed off with this. He didn't even back up my files before attempting to do anything or installing any software(most ppl and or supposed computer repair people would say the first thing they do is back up the files. He seemed very confused. He repeatedly kept apologizing. After he left my housemate who isn't an expert on computers had my computer up and running with in 15 minutes. And she uninstalled his software that almost corrupted my computer. The fact that someone who isn't a professional could fix the issues a so called professional caused is beyond me. He didn't know what was wrong, he didn't know what he did what he did to make the screen go black, didn't even know how to turn my computer on. Like I just said we managed to get it up an running after he left. He seems like he wasn't very knowledgable and probably relied on software and not his own smarts to fix things. Bottom line if you have a real issue don't go to him. read more

Hands down if you are having any type of issue with your laptop/pc PLEASE call this man!! ... So 2 weeks ago my sweet daughter was online at home browsing, facebooking, youtubing what the average teenager does online, and guess what she says..Mom!!! the computer just did something weird! I said what do you mean?!? annnnnnddd of course I get the normal everyday want to pull my hair type of response "I dont know?!" yeaaaa should of known.... So last week started doing my research and yelping and found Gancheng!!! Called him on Friday and got her laptop back in tip top shape..it had a virus, some files missing, and other minor issues. He also uploaded a antivirus and spyware with his services. I am very happy and will use him again if anything else arises. Professional, knowledgeable nice and the best price in the Bay! $60 bucks which included dropping and picking up the laptop. read more

I had a ssd for my NetBook. Unfortunelty I was having trouble transferring everything. He did it for 50 bucks while the idiots from geek squad were lost as soon as I said Solid state drive. Great guy! And very punctual! read more

Gancheng was wonderfully accommodating, personable, and professional. He fixed my custom setup the evening of the day that I contacted him. He is also incredibly affordable. Absolve all doubts you have and use Gancheng! read more

Genchang is amazing! He is definitely knowledgable, trustworthy, and honest. He came over to my house punctually, and was able to diagnose my laptop's problem quickly. After that, he gave me multiple options, and gave me the cheapest, smartest option. He definitely doesn't take advantage of you, and charges very reasonably. If I run into another computer problem, I would definitely call him! read more

Called him and he was at my home within 30 minutes! Great service and very affordable - $60 to fix my computer that wouldn't boot up. Highly recommend! Thank you Gancheng! read more

Gancheng is the man to call for your computer headaches. I appreciate his patience and professionalism since I am not the computer gadget geek that my wife credits me for. I basically had a keyboard snafu that inputted numbers instead of letters. Had to delete, backup, install, etc etc. And to top it off his fee was very reasonable so what else can I say? You can't go wrong with Gancheng. read more

Gancheng is incredible! He will come to your house and charge you only if he can fix your computer problem. Otherwise, no charge. He is very flexible in scheduling and arrives at the time agreed. My laptop could not connect with the Internet, even though my WIFI connection was strong. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a system bug, saying I would have to back up my files and reload the system software, which reformats (erases) the hard disk. He said I could probably do it myself, since I have an external hard drive, so he didn't charge me. When I was unable to do so he came back the next day and successfully fixed the problem, charging me only $50 (so I added a hefty tip). I hope I don't need him again, but if I do he will be the first one I will call. No one else can beat his rates or level of service. read more

Reliable, fast and reasonably priced! My daughters laptop would not boot. I called Gancheng and he offered to come over and start working on it right away. He told me that if it was a hardware problem that was still under warranty he would only charge me $10 (for his gas) to diagnose the problem! It turned out to be virus/software problems. He had the laptop fixed and returned to me within 24 hours with no loss of data. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with computer problems. read more

I chose the Owner, Gancheng, over several others, to work on some problems with my wife's HP Desktop computer. He comes highly recommended. He spent 2 hours working and thoroughly updated and cleaned up her computer system, renewing her settings and sorting out some issues with conflicting software. Her 6 year old computer is now working great. He re-installed our Anti-virus software. I found Gancheng to be very experienced, patient and knowlegable and very tech-savvy. He is never in a hurry and spends time answering all of your questions. He tells you to call him anytime with your questions. He was prompt and on time and did a terrific job. His charges are very reasonable and competitive. I plan on calling him for assistance next month when I buy a new computer for my office. Call on Fix-PC for ALL of your computer needs. You will NOT be sorry. read more

I have used Genchang multiple times in the past year and he is incredible with computers. He usually will come by within a few hours after I call him. Today I had an issue loading up my Windows and was worried my files could be lost. I called him around 9am and he was at my place in a half hour. He got my laptop running again and he helped me partition my C drive so I could create a system image. There were a lot of files that had to transfer to my new drive before he could create the system image so the whole process took about 3 hours. He charged $80 for a three hour job which is a great deal. There were other times where the problem was a simple one and he was able to fix the issue in a few minutes and only charged a few dollars for gas. And he if can't fix the problem, he won't charge you anything. Genechang is a very honest person and his prices are much less then Big stores or local shops. I will continue to use him for any computer problems and I would recommend anyone to him. read more

I am thrilled that Genchang was able to save all my files, and most particularly all my music files, from my desktop computer after it died a sudden and swift death. He came to my place and when he wasn't able to retrieve the files there, he took my processor home, extracted the files, put them on my new external hard drive and brought it all back to me the next day. and everything was there. Genchang is pleasant, easy to work with and gets the job done quickly and at a very fair price. I couldn't be happier with his work. I'm glad I now have a go-to computer guy. read more

Genchang did an amazingly great and quick job at cloning(backing up) my main C:/ drive which was starting to fail and making scratchy noise. Luckily all of my data was cloned onto a brand new hard drive and no need to re-install Windows 7 nor any softwares. I was simply trying to avoid starting over & re-installing all my softwares which willl take me many hours. All this was done in about a little over an hour. No wasting time dropping off your computer or leaving it overnight for days or weeks at Best Buy, or local computer shops. Called him early in the morning around 10am and he came to my house within an hour with all his PC tools to fix it. Price was much less than big stores or local shops, and most importantly no down time. Will definitely have Genchang fix my computer again for emergency situations. A+++++ read more

If you're like me and you toss your laptop around like a spinner at an orgy then you need to hit this guy up. He not only came to my house for the estimate and to pick up my laptop after the part was ordered but also charged me half the quoted price of the next cheapest spot and drove to my house to drop off my laptop afterward a mere two or three hours after picking it up. Now my computer works fine and i'm all over the web like white on rice and it's all thanks to Gancheng. read more

Isn't he like the best service man ever? My mouse and keyboard stopped working after reverting back from window 10 to window 7. Gencheng helped me via text. Most likely to contact him again if anything ever happened to my computer and would recommend him to everyone. read more

Gancheng is really as good as It gets. He is top-flight in terms of know-how and speed. His services are very modestly priced, and he never wastes time but gets the job done. An absolute all-round master! I highly recommend him. Top rating. read more

My dad visited Gancheng again to replace the keyboard on his laptop. Once again, very quick and VERY affordable. Most places rip you off and charge you over $200 for parts and labor. Gancheng's prices are the most reasonable and affordable in the Bay Area!! read more

His In home service is super cool. Fixed power plug on Asus netbook and fixed Gateway laptop for only $100. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a frequent Yelp user, but have never written a review. Gancheng is incredible. In a world of home tech support where you can't get a human being on the phone or you have to wait days to get someone to come out and solve your problem, Gancheng answers the phone, understands your problem and comes out to solve it the same day and all for a reasonable price. He is the only person I will call for home IT tech support from now on. read more

I paid him $60 but he couldn't fix anything. I asked him in the process of opening up my sister's laptop screen to confirm that the laptop is not fixable, and he said it's not fixable. And yet, when I asked him how much I owe him I owe him the full amount. All he did was open up the laptop screen and connect to the external monitor which I was ALREADY using when the laptop's screen was working. And he calls for the FULL PAYMENT for no repair done. What a scam. read more

You can't get anyone better than Gancheng when it comes to computer repair. I'd recommend hin to my friends and family if they need to have a professional review their issue. read more

I have to say, I'm impressed. I had a power supply die on an old machine of mine and from the time I called him to the moment I took my computer home was less than 90 minutes. On a Sunday no less. Parts, Labor, very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

Gancheng did a great job at fixing all my computer problems. It was very affordable and I feel he was very knowledgeable and honest. I will definitely call him if I have any problems with my computer in the future. I highly recommend. read more

Goncheng is fantastic. Had 2 laptops all messed up. My man came over and with 45 minutes both were as good as new. Great service great price. You can't go wrong. Don't call best buy. Call Goncheng read more

Gancheng came over to my house, looked at my laptop and gave me a diagnosis regarding a monitor issue. there were flickering red lines that periodically show up. initially he suspected the monitor might need to be replaced but first recommended replacing the monitor cable which could be ordered on ebay for only $6 and he would come back in a week to replace it. he quoted me a good and fair price. just to double check, he opened up the monitor display to give it a thorough look. i had previously had another repair shop fix my laptop and apparently they didnt put it back together correctly. gancheng saw some things that needed to be taped down since they were loose, rearranged some screws that were not correctly screwed into the correct screwholes by the previous repairman, and carefully closed up the display case. the problem went away since then! i asked gancheng the next day if he can cancel the ebay purchase and he said sure no problem. so he ended up not charging me for anything at all! gancheng seems like a very fair and honest repairman and charges reasonable prices and i will definitely use him again as i'm sure i will encounter computer problems again!! read more

Genchang is the best and doesn't rip you off! Fast, efficient and he knows what he is doing! My desktop was sitting idle for months since it stopped working so I just used my laptop but I needed files on the hard drive that I didn't back up so I called him today. He came early, found the problem and fixed it fast and backed up my files and updated my security settings. I just sent out an email to all friends and family with his website link to tell them about him! You can't go wrong with this guy! And it's his own business. Thanks Genchang! read more

Genchang is the man for all your computer needs! Called him on a busy Saturday and he managed to show up an hour later at my doorstep. My custom built gaming pc was not turning on and we trouble shooted the problem to be a faulty motherboard. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and efficient at what he does. Since the motherboard was dead he couldn't "fix" it back to normal status so I was not charged a penny. I will be buying more parts and if I have any questions I will not hesitate to give him a call! Best service and prices in the entire Bay Area! read more

Genchang was wonderful! He was able to fit in my grandmother's computer on the same day that I called him, and was delightful. He is honest, friendly, and spent over two hours on her computer for the flat rate of $80. SO thankful that I called him instead of bringing her computer to Staples which would have started at $129. He comes to your house, which is so convenient. Thanks Genchang! read more

No need to drop your computer to a shop. Gancheng will come to your house and fix your computer. He is very knowledgeable. And will explain in full detail the problems with your computer. On top of that, he has the best prices in the bay area... Guaranteed. read more

I called Genchang regarding a problem with my laptop, and he came same day I texted him which was really helpful. He was really charismatic and really diagnoses the problem. He not only fixed my problem, he added an antivirus program which I am using to this day. He's also very helpful as I text him every once in a while with my computer problems, and he does not hesitate to answer at all. Also, he has a policy in which if he cannot fix it, you don't pay. Neat! A++, very helpful and charismatic, fair prices, and best of yet he comes to you! Recommend to anyone. read more

First, I would like to thank the other "yelpers" for their reviews. After doing some research, I wanted to see what was so special about this technician. I had some serious issues with my laptop from the keyboard to operating system plus other things only Gancheng could know. Gancheng dropped in, checked it out, diagnosed it and recommended what is needed to have it repaired. Gancheng text me the next day with a quote on the parts, came by to pick up the laptop, 3 days later, Gancheng returned to me a laptop that was operating as if it were when I first bought it brand new. His expertise, customer service, follow up's, and reliability is excellent. I would recommend Gancheng for his priceless customer service and expertise and knowledge in repairing PC's. read more

This guy is great! My husband has been frustrated with problems of the laptop for some days. We were so lucky to have found him in our neighborhood. He came over to our house right away, and fixed the problem. Also, he gave good advice and helpful information. I really recommend him to anyone. read more

Hi everyone who is looking for computer repair and a reasonable price, I`d like share my experience with Fix-pc.us, The service is really awesome. A couple days ago , My Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop's screen didnt work at all, I tried to call some of my friend and see if I can get some help to repair my screen. Then I got a business card of Fix-PC.us from my friend who has used that service before and I call them. Gancheng answered my call and I told him about my laptop problem and he said he can try to help me out and drove to my house the same day. He looked at my Laptop to see what was the problem and told me that the inverter of my laptop is out of order (it burned out). Then he told me that he doesnt have the part to fix it for me yet, so he told me that he could order the part I need to fix my laptop for me (that was really nice of him to order the part i need for me), so I had to wait a few days. Yesterday , he came back to fixed my laptop and now my laptop is running perfectly. He charged me total $65. Yes, $65. $15 for the new part and $50 for the labor. If you need someone help to repair your laptop or desktop. I would recommend Gancheng and his business- fix-pc.us read more

I have a HP laptop. It said Ram failure and hard drive failure since May. I gave up hope getting it fix until I found him on Yelp. No need parts replacement. He spent five hours' hard work. Now my computer is as good as brand new. Thank you so much. read more
