Since these times, I have found him to be reliable, trustworthy and easy to talk to. He has been upfront as to things to whether he is the expert or he's not. He is reasonable to his prices, in fact, I find he is MORE reasonable than others that are his field. I found him by going through some terrible people that had limited knowledge.

I told him to put it back together and I'll try apple. I finally took it to apple the other day and come to find he left everything disconnected internally. He only secured the corners to hold it together and left everything else inside loose. The nice guy at apple gathered all the loose stuff for me inside and told me to never go to his place ever again. Very unprofessional I could tell he was not happy when I told him I didn't want him to work on it anymore. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE.!

Stuart even suggested things to try. My mini desktop computer screw was damaged and couldn't be removed. I also was going to have him install memory sticks I bought. It was ideal that he provides on-site services. Stuart quoted me a total cost for hourly labor and travel time. We setup an appointment for the following afternoon. However, just so happened I ran into an acquaintance while I was out shopping who offered to help me with my computer predicament. I texted Stuart to cancel our appointment and explained why.

He basically diagnosed my problem over the phone; I needed a new extender! Instead of recommending some high priced item, he sent me a link for a reasonable mesh system, that he thought would work well for me. I bought it from Amazon and notified him when it came in. Today, he came to my house, and, in just and under an hour, set the entire system up in my living room and in two bedrooms. He walked me through everything I needed to do to get going. It works like a charm! He's a great guy who is reliable and knows his stuff! Very reasonable, too! I will definitely call home with any future computer/network needs,

Chris is the absolute guy you want to fix your laptop. Had to visit his shop twice in less than a…read moreweek because both times I thought I shorted my gaming laptop motherboard board and both times he fixed it, and prices are very very reasonable. Walking into the shop the first time, I seen two GPUs on the front desk and I immediately knew Chris was the right guy for deep internal board repairs. Chris himself is a very informative guy too, he really knows his stuff and takes the time to explain the possible causes of the problems and what he did to fix it. The first time I had to bring in my laptop, I did some personal tweaks to the internals of my laptop and when I put it back together, it would turn on but it wouldn't POST so I assumed I shorted something. When I called other repair shops to explain my issue, they all assumed the same thing and said it might need a whole motherboard replacement until one recommended Chris. The day after I brought it into him, turns out there was just debris in the RAM slot and Chris got it back up and running! Second time, which was literally 3 days later, I was cleaning the inside of my laptop and when I reconnected the battery connector I saw a spark and my laptop behaved the same as last time, turns on but no display so this time I was sure of a short. Brought it into him again and the same day he called me saying he tested everything, nothing was shorted and all it needed was a BIOS reset. Chris didn't even charge me the second time too! Probably out of pity but I digress haha. Otherwise, if you're looking for someone who is reliable, knows the ins and outs of what they're doing, and at a very fair price, Chris at Cyberlife PC is the guy you'd want to go to!
