The increasing popularity of laptop and netbook computers has thrust them into the forefront of computer repair and maintenance. Desktop computers have been steadily dropping in popularity since 2005.

Many of us grew up using Macs at school but transitioned to PCs when we began to work, mostly because that system is more common in business. Macs, though, still are often favored for graphic art, music, and security.

Make sure you know the vital statistics of your computer system. Simply knowing what kind of processor you have, how big your hard drive is, and how much random access memory (RAM) is installed can help when troubleshooting issues.

A dropped Mac can result in a cracked or shattered screen - whether a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Screens can be replaced quickly and easily, without an inordinate amount of downtime. Instead of trying to look around the cracks, have the screen replaced.

Computer freezing is a common problem, and there are multiple reasons your computer might suddenly freeze. A freeze is basically when your mouse refuses to move or your PC fails to respond to your keyboard.

The mouse was created in 1964 by Douglas Engelbart and was so named because the wire came out of the component like a tail - how very technical!

When it comes to computers, there can be any number of reasons why it’s no longer performing at the level it used to. Between viruses, filled hard drives and aging, it may be necessary to bring your computer in for repair occasionally.

If your laptop randomly turns off, there’s a good chance that this is due to a processor that is overheating due to internal dust clogging the fan. This can also be attributed to an overheating battery or internal battery fault.

Standardized systems are what distinguishes the Mac family. Each system comes with the same programming as every other, while PCs may have any of a number of program packages installed. It makes doing repairs easier for technicians who are properly trained, too.

Q: The hinges on my laptop are broken. Can you fix these? A: Yes, depending on the nature of the issue, we are likely able to help your computer stand up on its own again.

While many Mac failures and repairs don’t affect the hard drive or your data, it’s important to perform a backup if at all possible as soon as you notice an issue. Otherwise, to be safe you should have your repairperson back up your computer for you before proceeding with the repair.
