I spilled water on my laptop and called them to help me get it fixed. They let me know immediately that they could try a cleaning but that it wasn't a sure thing. Sure enough it didn't work but Jason went above and beyond for me. After the first cleaning didn't work he offered to give it a second pass and when that still didn't work he gave me recommendations on next steps. Highly recommend this place! Good work and service for a reasonable price point. read more

Jason Wilson saved my computer when it quit on me during midterm week. So incredibly thankful he was able to fix it that day and send me back home with my own computer so I didn't have to borrow one to take my exams read more

I recently read a review on Silicon Solutions and realized I had been doing business with Bill Carter and Silicon Solutions for more than a Decade and had failed to write a review. I'm going to fix this now! Bill Carter and his staff are tops. You will not find a more reliable group of Computer Techs in Columbia. Bill is as honest as they come. Some of my Silicon Experiences: 1. I was in the shop some time ago and the staff was relaying to the computer owner that they had been able to recover her data and her laptop was good as new. I thought the woman was going to cry. 2. I called Bill looking for a larger Hard Drive. Not only did he stock the drive I needed, he gave me a better price than the big box store. 3. I'm a Mac guy but my wife need a PC Laptop for her Real Estate business. (2008 ish) Bill gave us a great deal on a used Laptop loaded with OS and Office. It was still running 4 years later when we donated it to Goodwill. 4. I had a piece of Memory go bad in my laptop. Bill identified what I needed. Again, he had it in stock and at a great price. 5. I was doing a Trade Show at the local VA. One of the reps there downloaded a fairly nasty virus. I sent her down to Bill's to see what could be done. She returned a couple hours later with her laptop in hand. She was thrilled about the service and the price. In short guys, Silicon Solutions will handle all your PC needs! read more

I am so thankful for Silicon Solutions! After being out of town several days I came home to a dead computer. Thankfully I reached out to a friend who recommended Silicon Solutions. I was afraid I had lost all my data, but they rescued the data. Not only that, but I took them another drive I had been holding on to for four years that I thought was also dead and they managed to retrieve that data as well. I am amazed. I would have paid them twice as much (or more) than what they charged. They are professional, talented, awesome people! read more

Great computer shop/store. Took my desktop computer here after the lighting storm last week. Lighting strike took out our HDTV and our blueray, and I thought it took out our desktop computer! Silicon Solutions looked at it over the weekend and called back saying it's working great. They easily could have charged me for replacing the motherboard, or worse, a used or new computer (and sold mine to someone else). The technician that called said to write the check for $29, which is thier base charge to look at it. When I picked it up today, they only charged me $20 total, and they obviously had cleaned it. When I went to pay they pulled it apart and cleaned it again! They are obviously honest and that's very appreciated today. They have a great selection of new and used computer parts and supply's and repair shop if you need it! Highly recommend. read more

I brought a notebook computer in for replacement of a defective DC jack. They returned it with the internal speakers disconnected, the battery life cut from 8 to less than 1-1/2 hours, the screen covered with greasy fingerprints, and the casing scratched and soiled. This, after they'd had my machine for 11 days! I've never seen such careless, disorganized service (they don't even have a work order control system), or rude employees. They also had the audacity to refuse to reconnect the speakers, claiming they had already done so before they returned the computer. Oh? Then how come headphones, the jack for which plugs directly into the motherboard, work just fine? This place is the IT equivalent of an automotive chop shop. I don't know how they stay in business, except perhaps because they're very good liars! read more
