Computer diagnostics Β· Las Vegas

Find the problem first.
Then fix it right.

PCs, laptops, Macs and Linux machines. Pickup and drop-off or in-home service, and nothing gets repaired until you say so.

$60
Flat diagnostics feeCounts toward your repair. I'll also match any paid diagnostics fee from a Las Vegas storefront shop.

How diagnostics work

  1. 1

    Pickup, drop-off, or house visit

    There is no storefront. I come to you, or I pick your device up and bring it back. Most problems can be pinned down on a house visit; deeper testing happens on my bench.

  2. 2

    Diagnostics, paid upfront

    A flat $60 covers the work of assessing your device and isolating the failure β€” finding out exactly what is wrong.

  3. 3

    A clear quote

    Often it is a quick fix and the diagnostics fee is all you pay. If a part has failed β€” or is failing on and off β€” you get a quote for the part and the labor.

  4. 4

    Nothing happens without your OK

    I call you with the full quote. No parts are ordered and no repair work starts until you approve it.

The diagnostics fee

One competitive flat fee covers the diagnostic labor and working out what your computer needs.

What to know

  • $60 flat, or matched to any paid diagnostics fee from a Las Vegas storefront competitor.
  • Paid upfront, and applied in full to parts and labor if you go ahead.
  • Decided not to repair? You have 14 days to change your mind and still have the fee applied.
  • The fee is non-refundable if repairs are declined β€” it pays for the diagnostic work already done.

How the credit works

An example repair:

Replacement part
$40
Labor (Basic)
$30
Repair total
$70
Diagnostics fee already paid
βˆ’$60
Balance owed
$10
$25
20 minutes

Not sure where to start? Book a consultation.

Often the best first step is a 20-minute condition assessment before any diagnostics or repairs, so we can agree on the best plan of action. If you then go ahead with diagnostics, the $25 is applied to the diagnostics fee.

Drive extraction & recovery

Free storage drive extraction

If you decide not to repair, or choose to recycle your device, I'll remove the storage drive for free so you keep your files.

  • Free extraction of physically removable drives
  • Take the bare drive, or have it fitted in an external enclosure

External enclosure

Turn the extracted drive into a portable USB drive.

2.5" SATA enclosure
$35
3.5" SATA enclosure
$40
M.2 NVMe enclosure
$45

Prices include the enclosure plus a $15 installation fee, and may vary with enclosure availability and source pricing.

Not every device allows extraction. Some, particularly newer Apple laptops (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M-series chips), have storage soldered to the motherboard, so it cannot be removed. I'll tell you what is possible for your device during diagnostics.

Free recycling & disposal

Don't want to repair? I offer free, environmentally responsible recycling of computers and electronic devices, with no strings attached. If possible, your data drive comes out first, so your personal information stays with you.

Donate instead of repair

Give your device a second life. If you choose to donate rather than repair, the diagnostics fee is waived and the device is prepared for donation to students in need, U.S. veterans, and children.

You'll sign a device relinquishment waiver, and your data is securely wiped before donation. Some donated machines may not be in working order; these may be kept as parts for future use toward the same causes.

Your privacy

My commitment

  • I have no interest in your personal files or data
  • Every precaution is taken to protect your privacy
  • Devices and storage media are handled securely
  • Confidentiality is kept at all times

Important notice

I reserve the right to refuse service for devices containing highly sensitive classified information or illegal content of any kind.

If illegal content is discovered during service, it is my moral and legal obligation to report it to the authorities.

Service agreements

All diagnostics and repairs use signed agreements that protect both of us and spell out service terms, liability, and privacy:

Initial service agreementSigned when your device is dropped off or picked up for service
Completion acknowledgmentSigned on return, confirming the service was satisfactory
Read the full privacy & service policy
