Jarret is an exceptional team manager and gets five stars. My laptop is happy, which means I am…read morehappy. A while back, I contacted Chipheads for a comparison quote on the replacement of a laptop keyboard and frame after a water spill fried a touchpad. The first place I had visited for a quote was a lovely one-man shop that quoted me $300 minimum for the repair - and that was with full awareness that I'd already purchased my own replacement parts and therefore all cost on his part was purely labor. He also communicated clearly that accessing the keyboard area required moving multiple parts he was not entirely familiar with and laughed that he would have to give me the $2000+ laptop he'd tried to sell me if the repair didn't go well. I left the establishment unconvinced of his capability to fix my also $2000+ design powerhouse that had not left my side since I got her. Enter Chipheads. I contacted via the general email address on the website, outlining the general situation and requesting a quote. Chipheads teammate Scott responded, and the quote he gave was comparable. I then emailed to confirm that I'd ordered the right parts before making the decision to put my laptop basically in the hospital right before I was going to be gone for a full two weeks, so I wouldn't be able to get her back even if the parts were wrong and repairs could not be done. Scott never responded to that email, and I had to leave for my out-of-town event. When I'm home, I rely on my laptop heavily, so dropping off when I'm not occupied with an event is not ideal. When another long event came up on my schedule, I contacted Chipheads again, this time creating a new email thread directing back to the general email address - the previous thread had directed to Scott's email address after we connected. I admit that I was hoping that I would connect with Jarret this time, and I did. He responded not only quickly but also giving me the option of a two-week repair period for less than $200. I'd be occupied with my event for exactly that amount of time anyway, so this was perfect. When I arrived the day before my event started, Jarret was with another guest. Both the impression that the first shop had given me about the delicate nature of my repair and my own experience in tinkering with laptops and electronics in general added to why I specifically waited to speak directly with Jarret given the impression of reliability he gave me in our correspondence. I dropped my laptop off with Jarret the day before my event started. Less than 48 hours later, he called to let me know that my laptop was ready for pickup. That was back in August. I specifically waited to ensure that the laptop was in perfect working order before leaving a review. It's now October. Safe to say, my laptop is in good health. Dropping one star for Scott dropping the ball on communication. Regardless, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Chipheads for your repair and upgrade needs.

If you're in a hurry and just want to read the gist of it, just know that these guys are great and…read moreI trusted them with recovering a ton of data from my iPhone.  Well, not at first... but once the whole thing was over I was happy I used them.  If you want more back story, to see if my situation is similar to yours, then read on: (although you'll probably regret it if you do) One morning I woke up and took my iPhone off of the charger to see a notification on my screen that said something like, "could not install new iOS because disk is full".  I thought to myself, no problem I'll free up some space.  However, Apple had pushed an overnight iOS download on me that was so ginormous that my phone would simply not work; even though it was on and I could see all of my data and apps.  I mean, it was accessible to me but completely useless.  I then thought the simple way to fix the phone's inability to respond to my file deletion requests was to restart the phone.  And that... well, that was the last time my phone would come online again.  It never restarted and I was left wondering what would become of my giant collection of photos and videos, among other things.  Don't get me started on iCloud backups, because that's a whole other thing.  Anyway, this all of course was after I spoke with Apple a bunch of times over the phone and in-person - them telling me that I was going to lose all of my data if I wanted my phone fixed.  I wanted the phone fixed, but only if the data would first be recovered.  Since Apple does not offer data recovery services I had to find a company to first do the data recovery work. I had 3 references for data recovery.  One was an expensive resource that Apple told me to use, and the other is a resource that my local Apple shop (MacFusion) recommended I use: OnTrack.  Then the 3rd was the mom and pop operation around the corner that mainly specialized in regular disk drive recovery for PC's.  I went with the referral from MacFusion and was happy that I did.  OnTrack's price was more competitive than the other company I was going to use and their process was completely streamlined.  Not only that, they recovered all of my data and sent it back to me on an external drive that was included IN the price.   I'm happy I used OnTrack and very relieved that the data is recovered and now in my possession.  I was impressed with their overall process, from the time I received the estimate to the time I sent them my phone was very streamlined.  Once the phone was in their possession, I would receive periodic email alerts letting me know when the phone was received by them as well as whether or not the data was going to be recoverable.  I didn't have to pay any fees until they confirmed that the data would be recovered, at which time I paid the estimated cost and probably had my phone and data back in my possession within about 3 days.   Ok, I've said enough.  I hope this review has been helpful to you.  If you've read all the way to this point then let me close recommend to you to look into creating your own home backup system that you can sync up with your phone.  You can use it to replace iCloud or Google Drive systems:  Synology NAS   Just youtube it and see if a home NAS (Network Attached Storage) is right for you.  I built a small 8TB system and now am backing up my phone's drive (and computers) to it in order to avoid this from happening again. Also, if you're a little less tech-savvy then you can explore some decent Western Digital drive options too.  Their NAS solutions are great as well.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!…read more I placed an order with ZARA and It was send by On Track in Sep 9. 2 days latter we got a Tracking info: "We're sorry your package was routed incorrectly & is in route to your local facility.

I submitted a claim via a very simple to use process and dropped the device at a local lab location. I am always diligent about back ups but found that I could not read this drive after getting a new laptop. There were many files that were irreplaceable and priceless on this drive. I was absolutely delighted that WRD was able to restore this data completely using proprietary tools they have developed. The communication was consistent and professional throughout the process. Also, there is no charge for the recovery if they are unable to access the data. They will examine your device and give you an estimate. I found the pricing to be very fair and in-line with expectations. They are very capable, professional and honest. I enthusiastically recommend them for any data recovery processing that anyone would need. Very successful, positive and painless experience. When important personal data cannot be recovered it is very stressful to contemplate such a loss. You need a company that has the right tools and skills, and I wholeheartedly endorse WeRecoverData.com.

I set it down and told him it wouldn't turn on and explained what I tried. He told me his rate was $125 per 30 minutes and he wouldn't even touch it until I agreed. So he didn't know if he could even fix it let alone how long or if there would be added costs for the fix. He told me this was a "VERY fair rate". So this was WAY more than I expected to pay being an hour of work equated to over half the cost of my device. I then went to Micro Center down the road who could diagnose it for $80 flat and would help cover any costs of the fix. I went with Micro Center and they fix my computer and returned it 3 days later for $120 total. Now I think this business could've fixed my computer same day but I would've guessed at double the price and I didn't mind waiting. Overall I'm giving this a 2 because it seems expensive and telling me it was a fair rate seemed dishonest. The one employee wasn't overall very mean or anything but he came across as unwilling to help or answer any questions I had.
