see above- also he communicated the status of the repair and was done in the time frame he promised
Description of Work: Russ fixed my computer that was running slow and would not run any of the microsoft applicaions. I thought I was going to need to buy a new computer but he methodically ran different scans to determine what the problem was. He ended up re=instailling my word program, found a free program that would help me keep all of my programs like java and adobe updated, recommended a different kind of tool to keep the system running and best of all-- gave me detailed instructions on what I needed to do to keep my computer in tip top shape. He is very fair, patient, makes it easy to understand what he did . This is at least the third or fourth time we have called Russ on various computers in the house and he is definitely the go to person- he make it so easy. I had my computer back in a couple of days for the lower end of the price estimate.

It's been 2 weeks and so far everything has been great. Russ replaced a hard drive on a 2 year-old laptop, and made sure all my files (pictures, music, spreadsheets) were reloaded to the new hard drive. He performed all the work over Super Bowl weekend, and I'm quite pleased with the work he did.
Description of Work: Laptop hard drive needed to be replaced. Russ backed up all files, replaced the hard drive with a new one, then reloaded all files to the new hard drive.

I was having trouble with my home/office wifi signal strength (amongst a couple other things). Russ knew exactly what needed to be done to fix the problems. I had Geek Squad here before and they couldn't help. Russ knows what he's doing. I will use him again with any tech issue.

We contacted Russ to restore a laptop which wouldn't load, and recover all documents and contacts/emails. He communicated in detail by email, phone, and with paper documents. We dropped the laptop off, he gave us written details on what we had discussed to be done, as well as options for more work we had discussed as possibilities. He gave an intended completion time, which was met by Russ, but extended by changes requested by us. He retrieved all documents and info on the hard drive, erased everything, and restored the programs and retrieved info. Everything done was as discussed, the cost was right on target with the estimate, and very reasonable for the work completed. We would absolutely use Russ again for any computer work we need. He was professional.
Description of Work: Superior computer repair service!

He went right to work. I had left the old PC running so I could show him the files I needed. He made a list and went right to work. Then we hooked up the new computer and very quickly he showed results. After quite a time tracing and sorting files he discovered that Office Depot had left a number of things in my old PC. We had to hook it up again and download the rest of the info. It took a fair amount of time to download things he didn't figure on.He checked with me often to see what thigs Ineeded and what I didn't. Originally I expressed concern about some important files that were in EXCEL 5 format(7 Years old). Fortunately, he was able to get those in a place where I can run them. I am way beyond pleased. I would happily use him again, if the need arose. He also showed me several tricks to use and some ways to save on program costs.
Description of Work: I recently bought a new HP computer from OFFICE DEPOT in St. Charles. They did a poor job of transferring files & programs from my old computer so I couldn't run the programs I use. I also bought a new printer that I couldn't get running. Russ came in and sorted files in their proper place and got everything running.

Russ set up the wirelss router with ease. He deleted everything from our system that Comcast had me do and then updated the router's firmware from Cisco's website and set all the proper parameters for it to work. We then confirmed it worked properly with our two smartphones and ipads. Everything worked flawlessly and immediately. The slow PC was another story. After a lot of software based utilities and clean up work, the PC did run much better. Russ checked everything possible, backed up the system, and defragmented it as well. All was working well until it slowed down again in the next day or two. Russ remotely tapped into the PC to see what was happening. After a lot of work and effort on his part, it seems the viruses were too deeply embeded in the system, so everything on the PC has to be wiped out clean and the operating system needs to be reloaded. We will need to have Russ come over and do that very soon. Since my wife works from home, good thing we have two PC's. This is our second time using Russ at RD Cutting Edge Tech Solutions, and could not ask for better service and results. He is defintely at the top of my list on technical support and service.
Description of Work: We had two problems that needed attention. First, we had a computer that was runnning very slowly. Second, we finally picked up a wireless router and could not get it to work even after spending a couple of hours on the phone with Comcast. Russ came over right away and took care of both issues. The router installation was frustratingly effortless. I say that because of how quickly Russ was able to get it going compared to Comcast. It has been perfect since day one. The other issue was the slow PC. It however was a different problem. We had some system settings that needed to be tweaked, and he took care of that. It seemed to be running much better. Unfortunately, later we discovered it had a virus, so we have been trying to eradicate it, but it looks like we will have to reload the operating system, so Russ will be coming back to do so very soon.

We told Russ that the laptop no longer will boot up and gives repair Windows screen constantly. At his Russ's home office, he ran various attempts to fix Windows but it could not be done. When connected, hard drive to other computer the file system is all corrrupt. Russ, reviewed with us about trying to recover user files but we told him we just want the Laptop restored to the 2/1/11Macrium Image he made to the backup USB drive (we had no newer backups). He then Recovered the laptop to exactly how it was on 2/1/11 and the laptop again worked fine. Russ did Win updates for all new updates (there were a lot),Updated Java, Adobe Reader, and ran full tuneup withTuneup Utilities 2012 (free for 15 day version - then I can put in my product key) and the laptop now is running very good. He did an update of AVG also to latest programversion and virus definitions. NO ADDITIONALCHARGE FOR EXTRA TUNEUP and Updates (an additonal $125 value).On 4/19/12 Russ dropped off the repaired laptop at our house and went over the repair info with me.Russ also, installed and gave me, step by step instructions on how to use the Macrium Reflect Back up and Restore (free).I am completely satisfied with Russ! He is very patient and efficient! I'm sure we will be using RD Cutting Edge for all our computer needs!!!!

The fact that Russ could diagnose and solve my computer problem without an onsite visit saved a great deal of time. We have used his services several times in the past and are always more than satisfied with the results. Not only does Russ correct any problems, but he goes out of his way to educate us on how to work more effectively.
Description of Work: I was having difficulty loading a program that was required for an online class. I called Russ, and we made an appointment to go online simultaneously the next morning. Russ instructed me as to how to access a website that would allow him to take control of my computer for a diagnostic of the situation. He analyzed the situation from his office, corrected the problem, and loaded the software that I need within a half an hour. Problem solved! In a few minutes I was back online with my class.

As with all computer repairs it takes time to figure out what is wrong. He worked steadly on trying to learn what my custom built computer had in it as to find what may be wrong with it. He download programs and did research on internet looking for fixes and help. He was very good at telling me where he was at in this work and keeping me informed on his fees and weather I wanted him to continue on. He was very knowledgeable and talked small talk but kept working while talking. Some of the fixes he knew exactly what needed to be done and did it. I have had much computer repairs done over the years both at home and at the office. I have used individuals and IT Companies. He worked as well as any and was very fair with his price. He did all he could in the amount of time we decided on. Some work was left undone but that was due to my decision to stop at the point we did. I fully feel that I got 'my moneys worth'. He was aware of the time it was taking him to fix my machine and conscience of not building up a "surprise bill". I think that was very wonderful of him to do, not just bury me with some gigantic bill at the end. Being considerate of the customer I think is a real plus. Most places just start a timer when they leave their office and turn it off when they are packed up to leave and never take into consideration the shock of their bill on the customer. I give him a 10+ for that! I know computers are not a fix it quick repair, but I think he did a really fine job for the time he spent and the money he charged. He fixed the most important problems first and left secondary problems for after. That was also a plus. All in all I will not think twice about using him again. He was well worth his fee.
Description of Work: Worked on computer problems: No Internet Access - fixed and internet now works Outlook not working properly - outlook fixed and works fine Word freezes - need to check iTunes corrupt - he could not figure how to uninstall and re-install - still does not work He loaded Microsoft free Back Up Program Macrium Reflect Ran full system diagnosis Installed "free trial" Tune Up Utilities and ran Emailed complete instructions for using Macrium Reflect

Contacted Russ for an estimate to setup a new desktop computer and move the old desktop to the kids playroom. He asked that I send him an email with the exact work that needed to be done. I did so and he called back with an estimate and a date that fit both of our schedules. Russ did outstanding work. He was very easy to work with. Price was reasonable. Quality of work was excellent and he provided a number of extra tips to make the experience an exceptional one. I recommend him and will utilize him to resolve any of my future computer issues.

Russ was the consummate professional. He was fair, honest, hardworking, and very knowledgeable. When there were problems encountered (outside of his control), he would spend significant amounts of his own time to try to get to the bottom of them (without charging me) and resolve the problems. He was very customer-focused and wanted to ensure that, at the end of the day, we were happy. He truly went above and beyond and I would have no hesitation recommending him (I've already passed his contact details to a couple of friends). I would also have no hesitation in working with him again for our future computing needs.
Description of Work: Russ performed a number of services for us. I've listed some of the key services below (but I'm sure I'm missing some!): - Setup backup (Duplicates/Image Backup on two Apple laptops - Installed a new router and updated firmware on another - Investigated slow performance of Apple laptop - Installed Parallels on one Apple laptop and installed MS software on Parallels side - Set-up iCloud - Upgraded operating systems on various systems (laptops, iphone ipad) - Transferred files from PC to Mac (including music and photos) - Set up ITunes on Apple and iTunes Match - Improve speed of PC (the costs listed above also includes hardware and software that he purchased, including a back-up system and other software that he passsed on at cost)

Russ was prompt and very helpful. Russ quickly found the problem with the router, it was unplugged. Russ took the computer outside and cleaned it by blowing air to remove the build up of dust. Russ also updated several sofrware applications by updating them to the current generation. Overall Russ is an excellent technician and doesn't hesitate making recommendations he feels will help performance

The story above sums up our experience with RD Cutting Edge. Our new computer works super fast and now we have HD on our monitor. We would not hesitate to recommend Russ.
Description of Work: This is the second job we have hired Russ for. Our computer died and after calling Russ and describing our problem he came to pickup our hard drive to diagnose the problem. He called the next day and said our 7 yr old hard drive had failed. He provided options such as replacing just the hard drive or purchasing a new computer or having Russ build a custom computer. We chose to have Russ build us a custom computer for our needs. In less than a week we had a new computer built by Russ. He also recovered our Data at a very reduced price compared to Best Buy. He installed Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader plus many other programs and he gave us virus protection until we could install the program we had before. We have a better computer than what we could have bought for the same money.

I was having "blue screen" crashes. I thought about using one of those on-line services, but went with Russ. Good thing too. The problem was not with viruses but with a defective circuit board. Russ removed the defective board (it was for dial-up modem - who uses that anymore?) He reloaded all my software and downloaded some (legally) free software and set me up with skype. He also loaded some trial software (including some to keep my computer clean) which I could purchase later if I found useful. I did not have him recover my files, which would have been an extra cost, since my important files I had saved to disk. Importantly, he gave me full written instructions on what he had done and what I could do with the new software. He also made himself available to answer any questions I might come up with later. The most important part of this was having a live, knowledgeable, hands-on person who I could talk to face-to-face an who did not just tell me things but put them in writing so I could refer to them later.
Description of Work: Removed a defective circuit board that I really did not need which thus eliminated "blue screen" crashes. Reloaded all my software. Downloaded some legally free software that would be useful to me including setting me up on skype. Loaded some trial software for security and cleanup purposes as well as Microsoft office with I could purchase later from the vendor at my option. Gave me full written instructions on what he had done and things I could do in the future. His explanations were very thorough and understandable. Made himself available to answer future questions.
