Introduction: I put a ton of research into every job. I make sure I know the device model in and out and gather as much background as I can on the particular model's history of issues similar to yours. Then, it's time to scour the internet for the absolute best part or other material needs for your machine. I really take my time at every step of the repair, so even if it takes longer than expected, it's done with precision.

What impressed me about Maria was her painstaking attention to detail. She thoroughly researched my model (Samsung Series 7 gamer) and had learned as much as she could about it before I showed up. She then spent literally 8 hours disassembling my laptop down to the motherboard, painstakingly removing every individual recalcitrant tiny screw and pinhead-sized connector, before wiping off the old thermal paste on top of the CPU and GPA and applying new thermal paste to bond the chips better to their heat sinks. She then proceeded to clean not just the fan but EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, inside and outside the case to a high degree of polish. I doubt the computer looked that good when I bought it. My computer was a rare gamer model that is very complex, has little documentation, and - as far as I could find - no YouTube geek videos on how to take it apart. It is no longer even supported by the manufacturer. It takes far more-than-your-average computer tech guy/gal to deal with it, because it requires original problem-solving every step of the way. After putting it all back together, the computer worked (always a good thing!). It turned out the problem I had was not just heating inside the case, but a semi-broken power brick, which I also had to replace. But, in the end, I got my fps back up to 100 (previously fluctuating wildly between 13 and 90). I spent $100 and saved $2000 on a new gaming laptop. Maria provided a screaming deal, in terms of value delivered for money spent.

FANTASTIC. Excellent communication explaining my problem and likely time required to fix it. Made it a priority because I was on a tight schedule. The end price was cheaper than a couple other places I checked. I highly recommend and will use them next time.

FAQs

What types of customers have you worked with?
Cracked phone screens are a nationwide epidemic, and I have been working tirelessly to eradicate the terror of the broken LCD in our lifetime. I've also fixed a ton of keyboards, cooled down some hot laptops using a variety of tactics ranging from new heatsinks and thermal compound to cleaning out formidable mountains of cat hair from cooling fans, replaced many notoriously faulty charging ports on smartphones (I'm looking at you, Samsung), and re-soldered a plethora of loose joints. I've even done a handful of cosmetic surgeries (most recently, I was asked to make a black iPhone red with a new screen and chassis).
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Try turning it off and turning it on again.
