Is your system running slower than usual? Are you getting unexpected popup messages? Random crashes? Unplanned reboots? Did your laptop suffer physical damage to the screen or keyboard? Is it hot or making unusual noises?

​

I have the ability to inspect, diagnose, and repair most computer problems. Depending on the symptoms, I know what to look for and what actions to take. Here are a just few examples of my skills and capabilities:

​

• Running slow? Check memory usage, scan for malware, check programs and services running in the background, check for excessive CPU or disk usage, low disk space, or high disk fragmentation
• Popups? Scan for malware, confirm an anti-virus program is installed with current definitions and working properly, inspect browser helper objects and other plugins, check for firewall rules, inspect host file and DNS settings
• Crashes and reboots? Check for current device drivers and make sure they are compatible with installed hardware, run intensive memory diagnostics, check hard disk for corruption and scan for bad sectors
• Cracked screen or dark display? Replace LCD panel or replace inverter
• Missing keycaps or keys not functional? Reinstall keycaps, or replace keyboard
• Excessive heat or noise? Check cooling fans, clean system of dust, check hard disk SMART counters or scan for bad sectors, speed test and consider replacing optical disc drives
