I love what we are doing – I’m proud of the man who owns this store because he always takes care of his customers. Heck! we are so good, we even tell our customers where to get acne treatment one time, when this poor kid can’t get a date because of it.
But [...]

There’s been a fair number of calls lately from people looking for various laptop problems, wondering if I have parts for certain types in stock or just laying around in the back room. The problem with laptops is that you can’t generally take parts from one to fix another any more than you can [...]

I don’t know if it’s just bad luck on my part or what, but we seem to go through a lot of routers here. At home I’ve only had to replace the router once and we needed to get a wireless one anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. Here we’ve had one [...]

I just finished cleaning out a badly infected hard drive, the final count for infected files? 32,914. Yeah, that definitely takes the cake as the worse infection I’ve ever had to deal with. I don’t know what they were doing with that computer, but part of the problem is that they were [...]

I’m sure it’s happened to many people out there, I’ve seen it often enough here at the store. Forgetting your logon password for Windows can be a real hassle, especially if you have important files on the computer. You can always load up in safe mode to create a new user account, but [...]

I had purchased a used XPS a while back but it’s power adapter was dead. Dell charges $106 + tax for the proper replacement, so in an attempt to save some money I ordered one on eBay. The product description said it would support this particular model and it was only around $30 [...]

Contrary to apparent popular belief, laptops do not get thirsty. So far this week I’ve taken a look at 2 different laptop computers that had liquid spilled on them. In both cases they were no longer in working condition. One wouldn’t do anything at all, even the charge light stayed dark when [...]

I was at home. I saw a file. It was supposed to contain something I wanted, but I knew better. I really did. I knew something bad would happen if I clicked it.
I clicked it.
Half of these weren’t there a few seconds earlier.
Within 30 seconds I had a half dozen pop-ups [...]
Holy Crap, Viruses! (Virii?)
Posted on August 14, 2008 - Filed Under computer repair, computers | Leave a Comment
It’s been a busy few days here, lots of computers coming in with bad virus problems. Again! This time it’s a rash of similar ones such as XP Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2009, Virus Scanner 2008 and so on. At first these appear to be legit virus scanners, suddenly popping up near [...]

AVG has been my favorite virus scanner for quite some time now because it doesn’t take a lot of resources and seems to do a pretty good job. Version 7.5 free was pretty good but they ended support for that a while ago. When they killed support for 7.5 they cranked out a [...]

Posted on July 28, 2008 - Filed Under computer repair, computers | Leave a Comment
There’s been quite a few computers brought in lately that were loaded with viruses and other little problems, so I’ve been busy with formats and windows installs. File moving services are usually needed in the process since people don’t want to lose their pictures and large music collections. My normal rates for that [...]
