    microscopic image of my motherboard.
    Jazmin C.

    Was meaning to write this review months ago but I was past the word limit and gave up, but i'm writing it now after finally having the energy to do so again. I brought my laptop in due to heating issues and *he* cleaned it. It worked perfectly, and he then suggested I should replace the fans and repaste the laptop. ok i don't mind. He ordered the fans and **thermal paste**. Odd that he didn't have paste in stock at his PC store, but whatever. Day came by to replace then he states I needed liquid metal for my laptop(msi rog gu502lu). Odd that he just now told me, but I agreed and he **ordered** the liquid metal. Finally, he did his thing, and i received the laptop. Did i mention i paid for 1 full gram of liquid metal, and paid for new thermal paste, only to not receive what was left? I essentially paid to restock their shelves. Anywho, my laptop's graphics card wasn't working when I got it back. He said i could bring it back, so i did. He took a whole week only to update me by sending a freaking malwarebytes scan when it was a clear hardware issue. I knew something was up. I wasn't having it since I did notice he uninstalled and reinstalled GeForce experience during his one week endeavor of trying to figure out the software issue that was preventing my gpu from being detected. he definitely knew my card wasn't being read, but said nothing. I called him out, he didn't like it and began blaming me, so I took the laptop back and then to a reputable shop. (he at some point towards the end did say it was a hardware issue and to replace the motherboard for 559$, labor included. I was not about to spend more money especially since i no longer felt he was credible.) The new shop told me liquid metal was spilled all over the motherboard. sent me pictures and videos about it. telling me how the person who handled it had no idea what they were doing. messaged *him* back and he refused to take accountability. Kept blaming me, which was slightly funny, given the proof i showed him. The new shop cleaned the liquid metal off my motherboard, and my gpu was finally being detected :). Oh yeah, did I mention that when I confronted him and showed him proof, he tried refuting my proof by sending me a picture of someone else's dusty laptop fans ? He only realized when I commented on it. :P did i also mention that he boldly claimed that the liquid metal wouldn't damage the gpu? (just search up what liquid metal can do) Anyways, I would avoid this place if you can. Most of the reviews here are from people who only have 1 review, AND give this place 5 stars without giving any detailed info on the services they received . It's odd. Find *small businesses* or *family owned* that are reputable. Other places in Riverside charge less for labor anyway. They also probably won't essentially gaslight you into thinking you were the one at fault :,^] Or you can test your luck and hope you don't end up in a situation like mine, lol. || "Your lack of not taking care of this machine has caused the problem not any technician or liquid metal or thermal paste." || for giggles, i am linking a picture of "my" laptop (for clarification, this is the picture he sent to me to refute my arguments. it is NOT MY laptop. he sent me the incorrect picture, which was funny. That is the picture of the laptop with dusty fans)

    Do they buy used computers? Because I want to know what mine is worth.

    Sometimes we purchase used computers depending on the age and condition, but if you bring your computer by the shop, we can give an estimate on upgrade options or possibly an estimate on what the computer is worth

I use this computer for my work, my writing, and so many important files. Unfortunately I had never backed everything up onto a flash drive. Needless to say, I was freaking out! I found Human Computer because of all the great reviews, and now I completely understand why they have such a great reputation. John was so sweet, kind, knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel like my computer was in good hands. He was able to fix it, get me back up and running, and it only cost me around $85! He even told me that based on how well I've taken care of my computer, it could easily have another five years of life in it. I really appreciated that he wasn't trying to convince me that I needed a new computer or sell me something I didn't need. I also couldn't believe this little shop has been here in Riverside off Van Buren since 1996! There's something really special about finding a small local business that has been around that long and still treats people with genuine kindness. If you have a PC or Mac that needs repair, I absolutely recommend bringing it here. Great service, fair pricing, knowledgeable, and most importantly, someone you feel you can trust. Thank you, John, for saving my computer and basically saving me from a complete panic!

Both repairs were completed quickly, and everything worked perfectly. A few months later, my laptop touchpad started acting up again, so I took it back.

He always takes the time to explain what's wrong, gives honest advice about whether a computer is worth repairing, and never tries to sell you something you don't need. That's hard to find these days. Both of my computers are now working like new again. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy computer repair shop, I highly recommend this place.

Even though the laptop didn't survive, from this point forward, I will be going to Alpha computers exclusively for all my electronics repairs because I know this is an honest professional business that I can trust.

I'm so pissed at my self cause I should've known this would happen. I got a quote through yelp.

So he says he'll have to call his boss to get it cleared. None of this would matter if the phone worked. But now my eyes hurt from this super bright screen. I'm turning every app into night mode that can. My cellphone brightness is on lowest setting. The guy even made up excuses on why he was charging more like it was a newer better screen from before and they haven't updated the new price. I didn't want to hear it. And the whole "pay in cash." SMH If you have time to do research, go somewhere else. I blame myself for not walking out when things seemed shady. I was better off with the cracked screen. **** Update**** So I get a call from Ben. My screen is probably defective. He wants me to bring it in to run a diagnostic and see if anything is wrong and replace it and offers a refund. Tells me to take down my review. I'm your typical guy that will google or YouTube something to fix it. There is something definitely wrong with this "non-Apple screen." So I say I'll take the refund and get my iPhone fixed somewhere else. Happy to give back this screen and I'll take my cracked screen. Ben says it's not right to give a refund. Ben was more concerned about taking down this review. Ben was polite but, at this point if I have to live with this super bright screen that heats up my phone until my budget can splurge to drop another $130 on a 2nd attempt, then Ben is gonna have to live with this review. People should have fair warning. So here's the warning. This company does not use compatible Apple iPhone screens. Your iPhone will not recognize the screen for "optimized" settings, ie "my bright screen" Worse, iPhone not recognizing the new screen is acceptable to them and was not disclosed. Who would want or trust a defective product. If I got a lemon then I don't want another lemon that passes a diagnostic only to fail me after a 3 month warranty. I'm better off getting a refund and going somewhere else. Ben, you got me for $130. I lost. And since this is the longest I've been in my phone after getting this bright screen, I'm just realizing how much it's draining my battery. Not sure what else this store does but for iPhone screens you are better off going anywhere else. Also, please don't delete your reviews when businesses ask you to. Better to update reviews to show how they fix things. I bet Ben has convinced others to delete their reviews. At this point if you go to this business then it's your fault.
