I recommend the Computer Repair Connection. Turnaround is fast, prices are reasonable, and Juan…read moreseems sincere. It all began when my son disassembled his out-of-warranty MSI gaming laptop ($2200 new) to replace the charging port. Unable to fix it, he shipped the motherboard to a guy who replaced the charging port ($60) but used so much glue the motherboard no longer fit properly in the case--the guy's advice was to drill a hole in the case, which we didn't do. Instead, my son put the motherboard in without closing the case and then botched the reassembly to where nothing worked. (Laptops are apparently harder to repair than desktops.) Realizing my son wasn't cut out for this kind of work, I took his laptop to the Computer Repair Connection. Juan re-repaired the charging port, completely disassembled then reassembled the laptop, reinstalled the operating system, and reconfigured the settings. I got it back the next day for $200 ($99 for the rebuild and $99 for troubleshooting and software install--all labor, no parts), which was more than reasonable for the work required. (I've paid the Geek Squad far more for smaller problems, and they took much longer.) Juan updated me regularly and stuck to his estimate. A week later, after heavy gaming, the laptop still runs perfectly. I would definitely use Juan again. My only complaints, which are small, are that I emailed the shop in advance to see whether they felt the problem was fixable but received no reply; also, when dropping it off, my fiancé mentioned that the keyboard didn't work (a problem that predated the broken charging port), but the keyboard wasn't fixed and no one explained why. (My research suggests it's an expensive hardware problem, so I probably wouldn't have wanted it repaired anyway. It works fine with an external keyboard.)

They transferred our data to this newer machine, installing Windows 11, which resulted in a common problem: only one of us (the original "administrator") could now open their documents. When we went back for help on this issue, the Repair Connection specialist washed his hands from it. He'd been paid already. Beyond that point he didn't seem to care. We ended up finding Frankenstein in North Austin, quite far from our home, but oh, such a difference in expertise and attitude! Problem solved, first trying to fix it remotely and failing, then taking old and new computer to Frankenstein. I do not intend to return to Computer Repair Connection. Maybe Frankenstein will open a branch in South Austin in the future. I would love to have that happen. Sara
