I contacted Caltechsys on Monday morning around 8:30, and they were able to diagnose the problem and order the part while I was on the phone with them. It took a little over a week for the part to come in, but they repaired it the same day the part came in. This whole computer problem came at the wrong time for me.....I was set to take the bar exam on that computer the week after it broke. While my computer was not fixed in time to use it on the exam, Caltechsys did give me a loaner which I was able to use without a problem.

Within a couple of weeks. The blower for the heater would not turn off. I would have to go into the attic to manually turn off the heater. Come to find out the control panel was supposedly fried by a power outage (must state that my neighbor had same problem same day). That was another 900+ dollars. The service was quick, the appointment process was quick... my complaint is the cost of repairs. I wish I had requested several different estimates. Overall, my only complaint is the cost of repairs.

That did absolutely nothing. Determined to prove that a new computer was still not the answer, I took her machine to The Computer Hospital. They ran a quick diagnostic and gave me an estimate to repair it. A couple of days later, it was ready and running like new for not much more than the cost of the worthless software. They had removed 23 viruses which is apparently not unusual. The technician saw the clean up program on the desk top and explained that those are "junk" and that "registry errors" are not really the bogey man that the software marketers would have you believe. Finally, he advised us on how to prevent viruses in the future and said that he hopes to see us again -- just not too soon. Overall, it was a great experience that saved me a bundle.

Mr D, the tech who performed work on my computer was excellent. He is knowledgeable, patient, and unlike some companies pays attention to your cost by recommending and giving you alternatives with explanations. HIRE THEM IF YOU CAN!!

He came about 2 hours after I called. He told me the motor was shot and the computer parts. He suggested we get another dishwasher because of the costs of repairs. I was happy with his diagnosis. He suggested buying a new dishwasher that has a knob to turn it on, instead of the computer...

We set up an appointment promptly per phone. He listened to my problem, informed me he charged $90/hour for home visit which he did not anticipate any more than 1 hour. He arrived at scheduled time, listened to my problem, explained things to me (a computer non-geek), removed the virus,...
The tech, Hamilton, did a great job. He was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He performed a thorough analysis of my computer. It is working a peak performance because of his efforts. I am very happy with Exclusive Consulting.

FAQs for computer repair projects in Porter, TX
The time it takes to repair a computer depends on the repair needed and part availability. It can take between a few hours to three weeks to fully restore your computer. Certain repairs, like data recovery or network configuration, can be done remotely within a few hours. Other problems, like a Blue Screen Error Code, could take multiple days to resolve fully. Consult a computer repair technician for a diagnosis of your computer’s problem and estimated timeline for repairs.
The average desktop PC lasts three to eight years, while laptops last only three to five years. Desktop computers tend to last longer because of the extra space inside the box, which allows added airflow. This component also allows easy access to repair individual parts as needed. Laptops have more tightly packed components that can lead to overheating issues and a shorter lifespan.
There are several common repairs between laptops and desktops that you’ll need to address as soon as possible. A slow computer is often related to having too many files on your computer or even spyware. A computer repair professional will scan your system for malware and possibly add more RAM to increase the speed time.
Another common problem is overheating, which is caused by dust build-up on the computer components or a part failure. Older computers might develop graphic problems where the display is fuzzy or altered.
In most circumstances, a computer repair will cost less than replacing your computer. However, there are a few factors to consider before making that decision. First, if the repair will cost more than half the cost of a replacement computer, it might be worth replacing it, especially if it’s reaching its age limit.
In addition, it’s essential to consider whether the repair is a one-time deal or regular occurrence. If the repair is a simple upgrade, it’s worth repairing. However, if you have a serious problem like excessive spyware that cannot be fully resolved, it’s better to replace it.
The average cost for computer repair is between $50 to $150. On average, computer repair technicians charge $60per hour, though that price can be as low as $40 to as high as $90 per hour.
The necessary repairs will often dictate the type of charge you’ll incur. For example, laptop hardware replacement, such as hard drives, RAM, or keyboards, typically costs $30per component. However, a complete tuneup, which includes computer upgrades and virus removal, averages around $150.
