My laptop fan stopped working and the casing of my laptop was coming apart around the hinges. After looking at several shops in the area, I found Rafael on Thumbtack. He notified me that he would be willing to come to my apartment and diagnose the problem for no charge. He was very patient and informative as he opened up the computer to further investigate my issues. Once the computer was opened we discovered that a piece of the casing was stuck in the fan and that part was easily fixed by removing it. As for the casing, he let me know that I would need to replace it and gave me several tips for finding the best prices for a replacement case. Once the case was ordered, he returned, assembled the computer back together, and everything is running smoothly once again. I found Rafael to be very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about electronics. He was also quick to respond to any questions that I had via text message about my laptop. I highly recommend his services to anyone with computer issues and will go to him if any issues arise in the future.

A few months back my 2013 Lenovo Y500 laptop started responding extremely slowly. I have experience as a software engineer so I tried everything I could think of to fix it and nothing worked. Finally I just ended up reinstalling the OS (Windows 8), but that _still_ didn't fix things. I was getting multiple posts on bootup (the machine would start, show the BIOS screen, then restart, show the BIOS screen, restart ... it took three times to boot, which was very odd). So I googled for "laptop repair san francisco". Of the results I got I decided to try Rafael because I liked his web page. I contacted him and he quickly responded with useful information and was willing to come to my house and he charged a reasonable rate. Rafael arrived and we collaboratively analyzed the problem. After checking for various potential problems Rafael came up with the approach of deleting all partitions and again reinstalling the OS. This time things worked. And I was able to verify that the hardware (HDD and RAM) was in fact functioning properly. As a bonus I ended up with a Linux dual boot capability that I rather enjoy. In conclusion, Raphael did a great job and I would definitely recommend him.
