Service 01

Computer & Laptop Repair

For every brand of laptop and desktop. Won't power on, slow, blue screen, dead battery, broken keyboard — bring it in.

What we fix

  • Won't turn on / no power
  • Blue screen of death (BSOD)
  • Slow performance / hard drive failure
  • Overheating / loud fans
  • Battery won't charge or holds no charge
  • Broken keyboards, trackpads, hinges
  • USB ports, audio jacks, charging ports
  • Random shutdowns or restarts
  • Windows won't boot / corrupted OS
  • Data recovery from failed drives

How we do it

We work on every laptop and desktop brand — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, Microsoft Surface, custom builds, you name it. The diagnostic starts the same regardless: open it up, check power delivery, check the storage, check the RAM, check the OS. Most "broken" computers are fixable. Many are fixable for a fraction of replacement cost — a $90 SSD upgrade brings a 10-year-old machine back to life.

We're not the shop that tries to upsell you a new computer. If your machine is worth repairing, we tell you. If it's not, we tell you that too.

Service 02

Apple & MacBook Repair

MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini. Battery, screen, logic board, and software service — for a fraction of Apple's "swap the whole assembly" pricing.

What we fix

  • MacBook screen replacement (Pro, Air, all years)
  • Battery replacement
  • Logic board repair (microsoldering)
  • Charging port / MagSafe / USB-C repair
  • Keyboard replacement (including butterfly keyboards)
  • Trackpad replacement
  • Won't power on / dead MacBook
  • Stuck on Apple logo / boot issues
  • macOS reinstall, data migration, recovery
  • iMac, Mac mini hardware service

Why customers choose us over Apple

Apple's repair process is mostly assembly-swapping. If your MacBook has a logic board issue, Apple replaces the entire logic board — often $700-1,500. Even Apple Authorized Service Providers do the same thing.

We do component-level repair. The actual broken part is usually a single chip, capacitor, or surface-mount component. We replace just that part — often a $100-300 repair instead of $1,200 replacement. We have the microsoldering equipment, magnification, and twenty years of experience to do this work properly.

Service 03 · The differentiator

Microsoldering & Board-Level Repair

The work other shops won't touch. When a chain store tells you your laptop is "totaled," we're the second opinion that often saves it.

What we fix at the component level

  • No power / no boot / dead laptops
  • Burnt power circuits (water damage, surge damage)
  • Charging ICs (laptop charges intermittently)
  • Backlight circuit (screen has image but is dark)
  • GPU reflow (artifacts, lines, dead display)
  • Dead USB-C / Thunderbolt ports soldered to board
  • Surface-mount component replacement
  • Liquid damage corrosion cleanup
  • Trace repair on damaged motherboards
  • Component-level diagnostic with multimeter / oscilloscope

Why this matters

Microsoldering is the difference between a $200 component replacement and a $1,500 replacement laptop. Most computer "deaths" — won't power on, won't charge, dead display, no sound — come down to a single failed chip or component on the motherboard.

The chains can't do this work. Geek Squad, Apple Genius Bar, mall kiosks — they swap whole assemblies. We open the device, find the actual failed component, and replace just that part. Microscope, hot air station, microsoldering bench, the whole setup. It's tedious work and most shops aren't set up for it. We've been doing it for twenty years.

If another shop told you your laptop is "not repairable" — bring it to us first. Free diagnostic. We'll tell you honestly if it can be saved.

Service 04

Laptop & MacBook Screen Replacement

Cracked, flickering, dim, or completely dead screens. Most replacements done same day if we have the panel in stock.

What we replace

  • Cracked laptop and MacBook screens
  • Flickering displays
  • Dim or dark screens (often a backlight issue)
  • Vertical or horizontal lines
  • Dead pixels / large dead areas
  • Touchscreen replacement
  • Hinge repair (often comes with screen damage)
  • Bezel and frame damage

Parts & timing

We use OEM panels when available — same panel manufacturer your device originally shipped with. For older or specialty laptops where OEM isn't reasonable to source, we use quality compatible panels and tell you upfront which we're using.

We stock common MacBook and popular laptop screens — Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, Acer, ASUS. Most stock replacements are done same day if you drop off before noon. Special-order panels take 2-3 business days.

Service 05

Virus & Malware Removal

Slow computer? Pop-ups? Ransomware? Fake "your computer is infected" messages? We clean it, restore your data, harden against the next attack.

What we handle

  • Virus and malware removal
  • Ransomware decryption attempts
  • Adware / browser hijackers / popup malware
  • Tech support scam recovery
  • Fake antivirus removal
  • Spyware / keylogger detection
  • Trojan and rootkit removal
  • Email account compromise cleanup
  • Password manager setup post-breach
  • Backup setup so it doesn't happen again

Our process

Standard cleanup involves disconnecting from the network, scanning with multiple tools (no single antivirus catches everything), removing malware traces from the registry and startup, checking browser extensions, verifying file integrity. We preserve your data, photos, and documents through the cleanup.

We also do preventive setup: turning on Windows Defender properly, installing reliable backup software, walking you through how to spot the next phishing email. The cleanup is half the value — keeping it from happening again is the other half.

Service 06

Liquid Damage Repair

Coffee, water, soda, beer, juice — we've seen them all. The first 24 hours matter most. Bring it in fast and don't power it on.

What to do right now

  • Do NOT power it on — this is the most common way to kill a wet laptop permanently
  • Do NOT put it in rice — myth, doesn't work, can make corrosion worse
  • Unplug it, remove the battery if possible
  • Hold it upside-down to drain
  • Get it to us within 24 hours if possible
  • Bring it even if it "seems fine" — corrosion takes days to develop

What we do

Liquid damage repair is microsoldering work — we open the laptop, disassemble the motherboard, clean every component, neutralize corrosion with ultrasonic cleaning, and replace damaged components. It's careful, meticulous work.

Outcomes depend heavily on what spilled, how much, and how quickly we get to it. Plain water on a powered-off laptop, brought in within hours: usually fixable. Sugary drinks left for days with the laptop powered on: harder, sometimes a write-off. We give you an honest assessment after the diagnostic.

Service 07

Network & Server Setup

Small business networks, wireless, file servers, printer integration. Designed to work reliably and stay out of your way.

What we set up

  • Small business WiFi networks (one location)
  • Wired networks for offices and shops
  • File servers and shared storage (NAS)
  • Printer sharing across multiple computers
  • Router configuration and security
  • VLANs and guest network separation
  • Point-of-sale system networking
  • Workstation domain joins / Active Directory
  • Backup server configuration
  • Network troubleshooting for slow / unreliable connections

Important note

We're an in-shop operation. We don't do on-site network installations — our equipment doesn't travel, and we focus on what we're good at.

For network work, that means we typically: discuss the setup with you over phone or in-shop, you bring in the hardware (router, switches, access points, NAS), we configure it on our bench, you take it back and connect it. We provide written setup notes so you (or your IT person) can troubleshoot later.

For ongoing IT support, network monitoring, or anything requiring regular site visits — we can recommend Salt Lake City IT firms that handle that work. Network configuration is one of those things we do well but is best for businesses comfortable with a self-install model.

008 · Where we are

One shop. Most of the valley.

Our shop is at 40 E 1300 South in Liberty Wells — right next to Thirst Drinks, just east of State Street. In-shop only, but we're close to most of the Salt Lake valley.

We have dedicated information pages for the neighborhoods we serve most: Sugar House, Liberty Wells, South Salt Lake, West Valley City (en español), Millcreek, and Murray.

If you're outside those neighborhoods — Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Taylorsville, North Salt Lake — we still see customers from those areas regularly. See all areas served.

009 · Common questions

Before you bring it in. Quick answers.

How much will my repair cost?
We can't say without seeing the device. That's why we offer a free 10-minute diagnostic — we open it up, find the actual problem, and give you a written quote before doing any work. No surprise charges, no "starting price" that triples by checkout. The quote is the price.
How long do most repairs take?
Most repairs are done in 24-48 hours. Things requiring special-order parts (rare batteries, specific screen panels, certain microsoldering components) take 2-3 business days. We give you an honest timeline at drop-off, and we update you via SMS as the repair progresses.
Do you use OEM parts?
OEM (original manufacturer) parts when they're available and reasonable to source. For older devices, discontinued parts, or specialty laptops where OEM isn't practical, we use quality compatible parts and tell you upfront what we're using. We don't substitute parts silently.
What's your warranty?
30 days on every repair. If the same problem comes back within 30 days, we fix it free. Most of our work outlasts the warranty by years — the warranty exists for the rare case where a component fails early.
Do you offer pickup or on-site service?
No — we're in-shop only. Our equipment (microsoldering bench, microscope, board-level diagnostic tools, ultrasonic cleaner) doesn't travel. The trade-off is you get real workshop work instead of a tech showing up with a USB drive.
I was told my laptop is "not repairable" — should I bring it in?
Yes. About half the laptops we get have been to another shop or a chain store first and been told they're totaled. We do microsoldering and component-level work — fixing the actual broken part instead of swapping whole assemblies. Free 10-minute diagnostic to see if it can be saved.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, credit card, debit card. We can email you a receipt or print one — your choice.
Do you handle business / commercial computer work?
Yes. We work with small businesses across Salt Lake City — restaurants, auto shops, professional offices, retail. Point-of-sale systems, networks, workstation maintenance, server setup, ongoing IT work. Call to discuss your specific situation.

Whatever's broken, we'll take a look.

Free 10-minute diagnostic. Honest quote before any work. Mon-Fri 2-9pm, Sat 1-5pm.
