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.

Rafael was great. A little hesitant using this app for the first time but gave it a try and chose Rafael. In his initial message he seemed to understand the issue and his rate was middle of the road from the several quotes received. He worked with me over a few days to diagnose the issue when my laptop crashed, recover data, install a new hard drive and reinstall Windows. I would definitely use him again for computer problems/needs.

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.

I recently hired Rafael to help troubleshoot a problem with my PC booting. He was very flexible and communicative while scheduling, and arrived on time as promised. Rafael came prepared with all the resources needed to troubleshoot and solve my issue. Also, he was nice and willing to accommodated my curious questions as he worked. He will be the first person I call if I find myself with computer issues in the future. I recommend you do the same.

Rafael successfully recovered data from my laptop hard drive. He was professional and explained his process very clearly while we worked on it. I would highly recommend him for any type of data issue
