So much so that I returned to have him to install a graphics card as well as a supportingp power supply unit. I purchase the power supply and graphics card from Best Buy the night before I make contact with Keith to inquire about a possible install. Keith informed me on the phone that he was more than capable of installing these components and to bring them by, which I did within a few hours of contacting him by phone. I received a phone call from him later that afternoon in which he stated that the computer would not power on after the install and that if he could not mitigate the problems that he will not charge me for services rendered in which I was very appreciative for his integrity. As we both could not figure out the problem( I am computer illiterate) he suggested that the possible issue could be the power supply and that Best Buy could possibly exchange it for a new one for it may be faulty and not admitting little/no power. I agreed and took the computer straight to Best Buy where are they quickly took the computer apart and noticed that Keith connected wires improperly causing my motherboard and CPU to short out and fry rendering it useless. The manager in for me and showed me where the wires were supposed to be connected and where placed in properly causing a fried out CPU and motherboard which can be very expensive to replace if you don't know as I didn't. Best Buy did not charge me for the investigative checks as he said in 20 years he has never seen anyone do something like this. He also stated that the power supply was the incorrect unit and that whoever installed the component should have immediately recognized it. (Again I am computer illiterate which is why I saught expertise). I quickly called Keith and notified him of my current situation in which he replied that he was sorry and that it was a mistake. No offering for reconciliation or contingencies to replace the mistake, just apolegetic. I I'm not going to take away from my initial review and say that Keith is operating Bad business, just simply stating how I am out of a brand new computer now. Take this purely as a precaution advisory before you have any internal or extensive work done and are opting to bringing your equipment here or any place like it. The part that sucks worse to me in this situation is not that I lost my computer, it's the information I had on my computer I had sentimental related details from my 3 deployments to Iraq as well as law enforcement memories and now I have to figure out how to get all of it back.

I needed my laptop screen replaced. I think the guy's name here is Giovanni. I (stupidly!!) somehow…read morecracked the screen of my two year old MacBook Pro. It half worked for a while, then died. Giovanni replaced it perfectly. Good as new. Of course it was expensive but a heckuvalot more affordable than a new laptop! I was worried I wouldn't find a competent technician for this kind of delicate sophisticated electronics out here in the sticks, so I'm thrilled that 2nd Life could do this job and do it well. I guess I thought I'd have to take my laptop to Westchester or NYC, which would be pretty time consuming. I want to add that the first screen he received failed while still in his shop. So he had to order and install a second one, and I don't think he charged me any different even though it had to have been ~double the labor time. Plus - he obviously checked his work. And, he apologized for the delay, even though he didn't cause it. I don't know about you but a lot of things nowadays, people take shortcuts or don't care about the quality of work or just fail to do the simplest little checks to assure a job is done right. Would definitely recommend

I spent several hours on the phone with her trying absolutely anything I could think of. With limited options at that point, I did some quick research and found PC Med Center which was very close to her house. Not knowing if they were going to give good service, or scam her, or what, I crossed my fingers and told her to take it there. A few days later she called me to thank me for the recommendation. Apparently it was just a single loose wire, which they were able to identify and fix. They did not overcharge her for what ended up being a fairly simple fix. Props to them for being able to identify the problem so quickly, and not trying to scam her!
