RAM & Memory Upgrades

If your computer struggles when running multiple programs, frequently slows down, or has difficulty handling modern applications, adding RAM may help.

We can determine how much memory your computer supports and whether a memory upgrade makes sense for your particular system.

RAM upgrades can be especially useful for computers used for multitasking, business applications, photo and video work, and gaming.

SSD & Hard Drive Upgrades

Replacing an older mechanical hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) can significantly improve the responsiveness of a compatible computer.

We can help with:

  • Hard drive replacement
  • SSD installation
  • SSD upgrades
  • Storage capacity upgrades
  • Drive replacement due to failure
  • Data transfer when appropriate

If your existing drive contains important files, we can discuss your data and backup options before replacing the drive.

Laptop Screen Replacement

A cracked, damaged, flickering, dim, or otherwise defective laptop display can make an otherwise functional computer difficult or impossible to use.

We provide laptop screen replacement services for many makes and models. We'll help determine whether the problem is the screen itself or another component in the display system.

Charging Jack & Power Problems

If your laptop only charges when the power cord is held at a certain angle, won't charge at all, or repeatedly loses power, the charging system may need attention.

Power-related problems can involve the charging jack, power adapter, battery, internal power circuitry, or another hardware component. Proper diagnosis is important before replacing parts.

Computer Power Supply Repair & Replacement

A failing desktop power supply can cause a variety of symptoms, including unexpected shutdowns, failure to start, intermittent operation, or other power-related problems.

We can diagnose desktop power problems and determine whether the power supply or another component is responsible.

When replacement is necessary, we can help determine the appropriate power supply for the computer and its hardware.

Computer Overheating & Cooling Problems

Excessive heat can cause a computer to slow down, shut down unexpectedly, become unstable, or potentially damage hardware over time.

We can diagnose common cooling and overheating problems, including issues involving fans, airflow, dust buildup, and other cooling-related hardware.

If your computer is unusually hot, its fans are constantly running, or it shuts down during demanding tasks, a hardware diagnostic can help identify the cause.

Graphics Card & GPU Upgrades

For compatible desktop and gaming computers, upgrading the graphics card can improve performance in games and other graphics-intensive applications.

Before installing a new graphics card, we can evaluate compatibility with the computer's power supply, motherboard, case, and other hardware.

Gaming Computer Hardware Upgrades

Gaming PCs often benefit from targeted hardware upgrades rather than replacing the entire computer.

Depending on the system, upgrades may include:

  • Graphics cards
  • RAM
  • SSDs and additional storage
  • Power supplies
  • Cooling components
  • Other compatible hardware

We can evaluate your existing gaming computer and help determine which upgrades are compatible with the system.

Should You Repair or Upgrade Your Computer?

Not every computer needs to be replaced when something goes wrong. In many cases, repairing or upgrading an existing computer can be a practical alternative to purchasing a completely new system.

We'll look at the condition, age, specifications, and intended use of your computer and explain your available options.

Depending on the situation, the choices may include:

  • Repairing the existing component
  • Replacing a failed component
  • Upgrading one or more components
  • Transferring your data to another drive
  • Replacing the computer

Our goal is to help you understand the options before you spend money on parts or a replacement computer.
