All installed components will be thoroughly tested.
$10 - $150 (per system / device)
Electronic Repair (In-shop)
Many type of electronic devices stop functioning because of cracks or breaks within a solder connection, this needs to be either re-flowed or the old component(s) replaced entirely. The area is cleaned, the new part fitted, then re-soldered replacing the non-functional component. This is usually an environmentally and economically sound way of saving many forms of electronics from being thrown out as e-waste.
$30 + (per system / device)
(depending on amount of work needed for repair, smaller components are included in price)

$30 (per device)
Hardware Repair (In-shop)
A piece of hardware / internal component from your laptop, or desktop (tablets or cell phones might be too small for such repairs) is damaged but possibly repairable with no need of replacement, for instance a laptop hinge, screen bezel, or an internal desktop fan, or power supply, as long as it can still serve it's primary function.

*It is always crucial to back up your important files to prevent your data from being compromised.
$40 (per system / device)
Data Backup & Migration (In-shop)
It never hurts to be prepared by backing up your important files. If this is not routinely done then a threat may arise which can pose a serious risk to months (if not years) of work/data. A backup and/or migration of your data will be completed to ensure that this will not occur. (additional cost for storage media)

$50 (per project)
Operating System (O.S.) Install / Reset / Setup (In-shop)
Installation or reset of your operating system (O.S.) is occasionally needed to keep your system running at optimal performance, a system might also come with the O.S. unconfigured and will need an account to be setup as well as Windows, Linux or OSX Updates downloaded and installed. A “clean install” or a "reset" means all data on your current hard drive is either backed-up, or wiped/deleted (your personal data/files can be optionally backed up, if you choose but at an additional cost).
$50 (per system / device for Windows, Mac, & Linux)
Must include a legitimate O.S. (for Windows & Mac Operating Systems)
Data Retrieval / Recovery (In-shop)
If you have deleted any files or a storage media is acting up there are ways to retrieve these files without it being extremely costly. All data will be recovered and backed up onto a storage media provided by you, or one could also be purchased. (additional cost for storage media)
*Data (photos, videos, documents) can be corrupt and partially unrecoverable sometimes so restoring 100% of any deleted data in its entirety can not be guaranteed, though most data should be recoverable
$70 (for most forms of media, per system / device)
C.P.U. & G.P.U. Installation / Re-seating / Thermal Paste Application (In-shop)
The C.P.U. (Central Processing Unit) or G.P.U. (Graphics Processing Unit) are the processing power behind a computer and could be thought of as it's “brain”. Installing a CPU is simple, a processor is matched up with a motherboard, both thoroughly cleaned if needed, thermal paste applied and then tested. If overheating is the issue, the current CPU/GPU and heat-sink will be removed, cleaned, then re-seated and new thermal paste applied. Most of this also applies to GPU's as video cards work in a similar fashion to CPU's, though some might be much more difficult to repair or replace. Thermal past re-application is recommended if the system board or video card are running very hot.
$80 desktops & $100 for laptops
Cloning / Ghosting Hard Disk Drives or Solid State Drives (In-shop)
If your current hard disk drive or solid state drive is failing and you need to migrate all of your personal data, programs and operating system onto another drive, then this is the service you need. The current failing drive needs to be in a functioning state to assure an exact image can be cloned / ghosted as this is the quickest alternative to reinstalling everything!
$90 (per drive)
GPU / Logicboard Re-flowing (In-shop)
The G.P.U. (Graphics Processing Unit) or parts of the logicboard sometimes fail because the solder cracks or disconnects from the board. Heating it at a very high temperature till the solder melts or re-binds will keep your system running. This should extend the life of your computer, and is sometimes a cheaper alternative to buying a new board or an entire system itself.
$80 desktops & $100 for laptops
