"I have used Mike's Computer Repair for several years now, and have always been extremely satisfied. Mike is very trustworthy so I never have to worry about turning over "control" of my computer to him. I have called on Mike numerous times when I mess up something on the computer and he quickly takes care of my mistakes and doesn't act like I'm an idiot. I highly recommend using Mike."

"It went well! Fast and Friendly! Picked up and dropped off. Updated a old dell computer I had and transferred files from a HP that wasn’t repairable."
"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

I waited a couple of weeks before submitting this report to make sure I had no further issues. Computer works fine and problem resolved. I would use My Computer Buddy again. Very professional.....explained everything he was going to do. "

"They were a little slow on replying to my inquiries, sometimes several days. My laptop was returned fully functional, but covered with dust. I had to clean it when I received it. They did more than I asked by replacing the motherboard, where I thought that they would only repair the DC jack (my laptop wouldn't charge after buying a new battery and a new AC adapter). "

Yes, an arc fault is serious. Caused by damaged or overheated wiring, an arc fault can trigger a spark that can cause a fire. And because these fires often start behind walls, they have the potential to spread before they’re detected by smoke alarms. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 50% of electrical fires can be prevented by using AFCIs.
Aim for a uniform, smooth joint to ensure a good electrical connection. If it looks crusty and uneven, your iron tip might be dirty or the joint isn’t hot enough. To keep the iron tip clean, wipe the tip with a damp sponge or brass tip cleaner when you spot black spots or rust to remove any oxidation and flux residue. Tinning the tip surface with a small amount of solder offers a layer of additional protection.
