Broken Laptop Hinge Repair Screen Replacement and and DC jack repair
Over time you may notice your display assembly or screen start to separate from the bottom of your laptop. With prolonged use, this issue can worsen, often causing both sides to become loose or even completely come apart from the rest of your notebook computer. Cables can become crimped and even severed if this problem is not resolved. “Hinge replacement” also encomposses replacing the top back cover of your laptop, as well as the bottom housing – depending on the severity of your hinge-related issue, we may need to replace multiple components. Also, your DC plugin jack may become loose or appear broken and require replacement. And if your screen is cracked or broken, it will need replacement as well!
This, like all of our repairs, come with a full six month warranty, and we offer a free diagnostic and estimate before starting any work on your
computer.
Laptop & MacBook Keyboard Replacement
Whether your laptop had an unfortunate liquid incident, is missing keys, or for whatever reason it just isn’t working like it used to – we are the place to bring it. We’ve replaced hundreds of keyboards over the years for HP, Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Apple, and many notebook computer manufacturers. During our diagnostic process, we ensure that it is in fact your keyboard that’s to blame and not a loose or failing data cable or motherboard; and if it is one of those things, we can still make a successful repair.
If you live in the Northern Virginia area and need your notebook keyboard replaced, bring it on down to us for a free estimate.
Virus & Malware Removal Services
Got a bug in your system? Most companies, especially big box stores, can only wipe your system and back up data leaving you to waste time and money reinstalling and updating your software and peripherals. With our cutting edge tools and years of experience, any infestation from minor adware to the most deeply seated rootkits are removed; and we install protection and monitoring to prevent future attacks. We always offer free estimates on any cleaning or protection setup and guarantee our work, in addition to giving you a full system checkup and warning you of any potential issues down the road. Whether you’ve been hit with scary ransomware or annoying popups, trust us to get you back up and running properly.
Residential Visits/Housecalls.
If you are unable to bring your computer to us, or simply prefer to have your computer serviced in your own home, we can accommodate for certain, non-hardware related issues, including printer and networking issues. We can perform tune-ups, basic troubleshooting, consultations, and more IT service in the comfort of your home. In certain instances where all issues cannot be resolved in-home, we recommend us taking your system back to our main office for further diagnostics and repair. There is much we can do remotely as well to take care of your computer problems!
PC & Apple Password Removal
We all forget passwords. Don’t let that stop you from using your computer! We remove a variety of password types, including but not limited to BIOS, EFI, Windows, and Apple’s Mac OSX – for Dell, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, Laptops & Desktops! And as long as your files aren’t encrypted, they will be fully intact after the forgotten password has been removed.
Pricing is dependent on the type of password we’re removing.
Tune-Up & PC Speed Increase Services
It seems to be a fact of life: over time, computers slow down.
This phenomena is caused by a number of factors, including excessive
temp files, too many programs/services on startup, a full hard drive,
and adware and virus infestations. We
assess each and every system that comes in to determine the best course
of action. When you get your computer back from us, it is often as fast
or faster than it was when you purchased it new… especially if you upgrade to a solid state drive.
Bring your old, slow PC or Mac by for a free diagnostic and let’s make your old computer run like it should.

Have critical data that is at risk? We can do data recovery with about a 95% chance of success.
We can recover much here without having to send the drive out, but in the event it needs clean room service, there is no place locally that has a clean room! (and I spent 6 months looking!)
Clean room service is usually $800 to $1000 and we ask for a $400 fully refundable deposit upfront. Our deal is – no data – NO CHARGE. (others will charge you $395 and then tell you they cant recover anything!).
We can remove ANY virus including the nasty Ransomware ones! And we almost NEVER have to ‘wipe and reload’ which is what most others in the area do routinely – because they dont really know how to CURE the problems!
Bring your broken, dead, dying laptop down and if its worth ANYTHING we will buy it from you!
We also buy other electronics and well take a look at most anything!
And since we are inside the Mt Vernon Antique Center – we also have part of our shop for our Strange Things department!
Come have a look!
And if you have any gold or silver to sell – or old coins – we buy for more than the pawnshops and jewelry stores!
We can handle most Phone Repairs – and again we do FREE ESTIMATES
We have been fixing Macs for well over 25 years! And it does not matter what happened! We do COMPONENT LEVEL repair on liquid spills and almost always fix the board without having to replace it. And did I mention we are FAR CHEAPER than the Apple Store?
We sell lots of used computers all with a 6 month warranty!
