Patsy Spencer Vipperman ·…read moreShared with Public This is a recommendation for anybody with computer problems in or near Roanoke. Commonwealth Computer Services came to my aide this past week when I had 2 serious problems. For the first, I called and made an appointment for someone to come to my house. I was sent a picture of the tech who would come, he arrived at the appointed time and did a terrific job. Two days later when it appeared I had been scammed online, I called and the same tech arrived in less than an hour. He checked everything over, found nothing amiss and put my mind at ease. I still have work to do with new accounts and password changes, but certainly know who to call again if I have problems.

To be fair, I messed up my HTC10 somehow; I think moderately wet hands cause my screen to start not registering touches in vertical bar patterns. After dealing with this for a few months and it not getting any better, I thought maybe just the screen needed to be replaced. Again, to be fair it's possible more needed to be replaced. So I went in and asked about a screen replacement and noted my general problem. I was more led down the line of how much my phone was still worth almost as if to say if I wanted to sell it, though ultimately noting that it was worth repairing. I put down the first half of the cost and came back a couple days later after the part was ordered online from a random supplier of phone parts. An hour or so later I came back with my phone all put back together, paid the rest of the cost and went on my way. Over the next day or so the "new" screen started to have some dead spots and continually got worse over the next few months until now where it's pretty much useless. Again, it's possible something else in the screen was damaged and a new screen just put a band-aid on it. However, I don't believe it was well repaired as over the last couple of months when a spot or section went bad, some good jiggling or tapping of the phone would get it working again. As well, even from the start, the "home" button in the bottom center was not well placed back in and was offset from where it should be. Also noticed I was fairly easily able to slide in a business card or thin paper between the screen and metal body to try to reseat the "home" button. So, the repair didn't come back looking like new and to me wasn't a good quality repair. It might be more of my issue, but I struggled to stop by this place with the way the hours are set and ran out of my 14 days from repair to take it back in at no cost (at least according to the receipt). I called once in there and left a message only to never have it returned, I could have been more persistent, but I don't have time for that. I only give a 2nd star here as at least the work is done in house and with decent looking equipment. Maybe it was just that I had an off phone (I think HTC10s aren't too popular) so if you've got an iPhone or an easier repair it'll work for you. But for me, it didn't work and I don't think the quality of the work was very good.

They told me the hard drive on the computer I brought in was about to die, so I was in a jam. Not long afterward, I found the same Dell Optiplex 3070 at Best Buy for $495. Dell - Refurbished Excellent - OptiPlex 3070 SFF Desktop PC, Intel Core i7-9700 up to 4.7 GHz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1 TB SSD, USB Keyboard & Mouse, Windows 11 Pro - Black. I wanted to do business with a local business, but sadly, I believe they took advantage of my situation. I had done business with them at least four times prior and was completely satisfied, but I will not do so in the future. The Intel Core i3-8100 is a budget desktop processor released in October 2017 as part of the 8th Generation "Coffee Lake" lineup. I partly blame myself for not conducting thorough research before making the purchase.

Luckily Lee Hartman saw a market and grabbed it. The selection may not be huge but they try to keep in stock what a photographer would need in the way of lenses and camera bodies. Sure, you can buy online and get a wider selection or maybe cheaper. But I love being able to try out what I buy, I also support my local stores. If I try it there, I buy it there. The price is usually right in line with the street price if you consider the shipping.

This is a local hole-in-the-wall business that specializes in design, print, and copy.

According to the business card, some of the services offered here include brochures, calendars, flyers, signs, booklets, and much more. We'd definitely go back.
