    Battery replaced on my foreflight sentry receiver!
    Pete H.

    Great work!!! They helped me replace an old battery on the foreflight sentry GPS receiver. Saved me $500+ because of course the manufacturer says "no serviceable" and does not offer service and just wants to sell you a new one. I ordered the battery online and brought it into the store. They completed the work in an hour.

    Owner and watch with new battery

    Fast reply (on their day off, no less); replaced battery the next day in minutes; accurate quote; great price. Warm, friendly people. Thank you!

    They didn't update the WiFi drivers and refusing to take liability for their negligence

    They're either lazy, scammers, or incompetent! PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THEM I took my pc in because it was having black screens, and when I tried to clean it up and replug it it would not connect to the monitor. I tried everything but it wouldn't work so I took it here and explained that to them. I took it in on a Thursday, and they gave me a ticket and didnt really say anything else. So I ask "when can I expect to have it back?" and they told me that it'd be $65 and they'd have it ready by Saturday. Saturday comes and I call them and ask if the pc is ready, they said "we'll call you back". Waited 3 hours and they did NOT call back, so I call again and ask if it's ready. Now they say "oh, it's actually the motherboard," (so they figure out the problem but didn't bother to call and tell me?), and I say "okay.... Are you guys able to fix it?" And they say "nah, it's gotta be replaced." I asked what was wrong with it, and they said "the BIOS," which was very vague. In hindsight, I should've seen the problem here. They then say "we can suggest some good ones for you and call you back". Again, they do NOT call me back so I had to look up and buy a motherboard on my own. I bring it in on Monday and they tell me it'll be ready the next day. It was... but one big problem. They didn't even update the WiFi drivers! So they literally gave me another problem: it literally doesn't connect to the WiFi. So I spent all night trying to figure out how to get the WiFi working, but I don't have another computer or Ethernet to download the WiFi drivers so I can't even get WiFi. I hit up my online friend who's more knowledgeable on computers than I am. And they said "did they tell you what was wrong with it?" And I said that they said "the bios" and they told me "your old motherboard has BIOS flashback on it... it sounds to me like they didn't even try that and they immediately resorted to making you get another motherboard and charging you extra for the motherboard". So, on top of them NOT UPDATING THE WIFI DRIVERS, THEY SCAMMED ME OUTTA $150. I'm beyond furious and want a refund for wasting my time, stressing me out, giving terrible service and communication, and giving me a computer that doesn't even connect to WiFi! So like I said: they're either lazy and incompetent or know what they're doing and hope YOU don't so that the can get as much money from you as possible. Terrible service and they just gave my computer another problem! I called them again and they said they DIDN'T do a bios flashback and they "didn't have the tools". And instead of calling me and informing me about this they immediately said I need to replace the motherboard and charged me $85 extra for the labor costs. They also got mad that I "didn't give them a password" when I asked why they didn't update the drivers, and I told them that they never asked or called, and he said "why should I go around chasing you when I got other stuff to do?" And when I finally called them multiple times and asked for a partial refund, AGAIN, they didn't say anything and didn't give me a refund so I call them back saying "where's the refund?" And this is how I know they're shady because they said "we'll give you a refund after you sign this document saying we're not liable" like dude! What?! So they didnt even give me a refund unless I sign a paper that says "he cannot report this and we did not wrong". Extremely shady and scummy business, don't let them scam you.

    Fixed left hinge after repair.

    This place is great! Not only do they repair phones, computers, and consoles, they also repair headphones. I brought in my Sony XM-5's in need of a repair hoping they can fix it. Fortunately, I found Nick who happens to fix a few of these XM-5's before and gave me a reasonable price for repair. Nick, thank you very much for your hard work and your expertise!

    Here is a screenshot showing the Frankenstein Parts added to this phone
    Tony F.

    I had a great first experience, however the second time I used them my perception changed. We brought my wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max in because the phone just stopped working. They said we needed to change the power management chip; however, they couldn't do it at their shop and needed to ship it to their facility in Texas to get it done. They initially said it would take about a week and gave me an iPhone 8 as a loaner to use in the meantime. Well 1 week turned into 3, then the phone got lost in shipment. Not only did it get lost in shipment, but the tracking showed it came from San Diego, not from Texas and the package was NOT insured. While the package was lost, come to find out about a month later, my Identity was stolen. A letter came in the mail saying a new bank account was opened while we didn't even have the phone. I remembered that they asked for the passcode before shipping it back which is why I think this ID Theft could potentially be coming from this issue. They ended up giving me an iPhone 13 that was Frankensteined from their spare parts bin. They said it had a brand-new battery however this battery dies faster than my 3-year-old phone. They initially quoted us $280 to get this done with a down payment of $100. When we went in to return the iPhone 8 late loaner and get the Frankenstein Phone, they had the audacity to ask us to pay the remaining $180 balance. We never ended up paying this because we found it to be totally unfair. The original reason we wanted to do this was to save all our pictures on the old phone but now we are out $100, lost the photos, and have a worse phone. Buyer Beware!

    16 Pro Tempered Glass Protector Broke and was repaired! Looks brand new :)

TLDR: the quality of photos is awful & blurry after the repair, especially zoom. Quality of photos is terrible after the repair especially in night photos. You see the light streaks in the holiday lights. Then when recording video, as you zoom in, the picture goes totally out of focus in the mid distance then back into focus as you zoom in. Close-up macro photos are not crisp. The man wasn't the most friendly person but with the reviews here I thought that wasn't important and he'd get the job done well. He was on the phone when I walked in and after some back & forth he agreed to lower the price for a computer battery down to $240 but was not willing to negotiate at all with me for the camera lens. I relented since he had great reviews. He gave me a whole $5 discount on $80 if I paid in cash. Then tried to upsell me on screen protectors for front screen & cameras. Photos & video speaks for itself. I won't be back. I'm out $75 (plus whatever it will cost to get a decent lens in my phone. I have a long time left on my contract so no upgrades for me) and the quality of my photos is garbage. Take what you will from this review. I hope your experience is better.

    Choose these folks for your data recovery needs! I had two WD (called Western Digital when they…read moredrives were made) HDDs that I needed data from. I was unable to recover data from them in different ways. Disc one was an external drive that would not power on. I tried removing it from its external enclosure and powering it from another, more different enclosure to no avail. The system was indeed down. Disc two was an internal drive that used to be my C drive- my boot drive. I removed it from an old computer after it stopped booting and put it into an external enclosure. Several different computers (Mac & PC) would recognize it sporadically, though none could access the data on it- error codes always came up. Before I removed it, from the old computer, I tried booting from an optical disc and other assorted methods, many other assorted methods... I believe I was very thorough in my efforts. I sent both in and received near 100% recovery. They said it was 100% from one and 99.9% from the other but I am unable to find that .1%. I got all of this for just barely above the $300 price in their name (each, not total). So for about $600 total (including new discs on which my recovered data was transferred and return shipping) I got this incredible service. The total price I paid for both discs at 300DDR is less than I was quoted at several other places for one disc. At each step they were great communicators, from their receipt of the discs to my receipt of the recovered data. I hope I never need their services again but should, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them.

I had tried to recover the data off of it myself using a SD reader I purchased from amazon. When that failed, I paid another data recovery business in Irvine (this was not Alfonso or Cyber Electronics) about $500 for them to try recover it, and they took many many months to give me essentially 1% of what was on that drive, with many of those files being corrupt. They then told me that the drive was toast and that there was nothing more to be done and pretty much still made me pay because they supposedly put the work in already. They essentially told me my drive was useless now and could be trashed. I felt very suspicious about how this company handled my recovery, so as a hail mary I brought my same drive to Alfonso at Cyber Electronics Data Recovery. I explained to him my situation and that I wanted to see if in fact my drive was fully dead. Alfonso was very realistic, told me the probability of recovery given that solid state drives are harder to recover, and told me that he wouldn't bill me if he wasn't able to recover anything. However, given the condition of my drive, he essentially had to do all the work of a full recovery first, put in the hours without me having paid anything yet, to even see if anything could be salvaged. Over the next few days, he texted me every single day to give me an update as to what he had done, and what still needed to be done. He knew that the last data recovery company really screwed me, so he ensured that I would get a different experience. I'm happy to report that only a few days later, he called me with great news...he recovered my drive...the same drive that a yelp 5-star Irvine based data recovery company said was toast and recovered almost nothing off of. His price was the same as what I paid that other company Irvine company. After going through my recovered files, I can see that Alfonso recovered probably 95-98% of my drive...this is an amazing result for me and I am extremely pleased. Alfonso gets 5 stars in all regards. He's a genuine, kind individual and his customer service is top notch. He deserves all the praise he's gotten from all the amazing reviews you see about his business.
