Fuel today is not cheap and the prices keep creeping up a little at a time. Once you get used to paying 3.59 the price will go up to 3.65. It will stay there until you get used to that price and then it will go up again. That is the trend with almost everything except remote computer repair. The prices for this service have actually dropped over the past several years. That is why it is such an affordable solution. The second reason that you should use a remote company is time. Time is something that is a premium now days. The days are never long enough to get everything done that needs to be done. When you get your computer serviced by a remote company, you can continue to go about your business around the house or office while your system is being serviced. The next reason is convenience. There is no unplugging, lugging or dragging. When the repair is done, there is no trying to figure out what wire goes where. Your system remains intact through the entire process. Did I mention that it is fast? You system will be ready in an hour or so instead or a week or more. Privacy is a huge concern these days. When you drop your computer off at a shop, the system is out of your sight for days while a tech works on the system. You never know when prying eyes might be looking at your personal stuff or pictures. In a remote call, you can see everything that is going on all the time....

Read MoreMost of us can’t get through the day without getting on a computer for one reason or another. Some of us make our living sitting behind a computer screen; others simply unwind after a busy day by surfing the web or playing games. While computer are cheaper than ever, and tend to last longer than they did in the past, they are still computers and they are still susceptible to breaking. What Causes a Computer to Break? There are a few things that can happen to a computer that cause them to stop function. First, hardware can burn out and cause problems as it goes through its death rattles. For example, a graphics card (the piece of hardware that handles high end graphics processing) may start to exhibit strange things on the screen. It may be very minor at first, but over time it will get worse until it gets to a point that the card no longer works. The most common issue is often caused by software problems and viruses. These issues can be thrown together into the same generalization because they can be fixed in a similar way. Online computer repair companies are out there to ensure that you have access, sometimes around to clock, to computer technicians that can fix the problems with your computer without having to visit your home. Generally this is done by connecting to your computer and taking control of all the functionality that you are used to. This allows a highly trained professional to go over all of the files and issues that are occurring and work on finding the root issue. Sometimes they need to make a minor fix, other times they will need to spend hours at a time on the computer. Fortunately, in most cases, you won’t need to sit there for the entire time while the computer is worked on. How Do They Access the Computer? Depending on the company you use, you may find that you’ll need to download some specific software which will act as a virtual desktop for your online computer repair technician. They will guide you through the entire process and since you don’t lose the view of your computer screen, you can...
Read MoreHi everybody today we are going to talk about why laptops are so tough to repair. As you know, laptops are a great convenience and they make it easy to take your work with you wherever you go. This does come at a price. Laptops are great for convenience but if something goes wrong, they are difficult and expensive to repair. Because laptop computers are so small, all the components have to be placed in a very small compact area. This makes getting to any of the components very difficult at best. For example, if you are trying to replace the cooling fan, you have to remove a number of components including the screen and keyboard just to gain access to it. This is not for the faint of heart. In addition, most laptop parts are proprietary and you have to pay the company’s price for the part, which is usually very high. The only parts that are easily replaced on a laptop are confined to the hard drive and the ram. Chips. These components can also be upgraded quite easily as well. Another reason that many laptops fail prematurely is heat. Since laptop computers have their parts so clustered together, the amount of heat that they generate is quite intense. This heat can degrade the internal components of your system and lead to things like a motherboard failure. If this occurs, it is almost always less expensive to buy a new computer as opposed to having the board replaced. Because of the complexity of the laptop, most of your cost will be labor. In some cases if your system is newer, you might want to check and see if your system is under warranty or not. The manufacturers warranty will only cover hardware issues and not software issues. If you still have a warranty and your motherboard fries, you will be in luck! All you have to do is send your machine back to the factory and they will replace it. Please remember that is all likelihood, they will reformat your system before it is shipped back to you so always be sure you have a good backup in place. Author: Joe Zelenak, Staff...
