We recently touched base with Steve, our Minneapolis Minnesota computer repair technician. He explained a tough PC repair problem that he had solved earlier this month.

Desktop PC Repair

For this past week, one job that was the most strenuous consisted of a monstrous desktop PC that would not allow the end user to get past its logon screen.  After some analysis, we found that the operating system configuration was corrupted due to an entanglement of old technology with software updates, requiring troubleshooting.  But because the issue was tied into the core software and main hardware, it took twice the effort to resolve the issue.  However, our efforts weren’t in vain — we were eventually able to get the PC back in gear.

Besides this, a number of jobs required a variety of needs.  For one, drilling out stripped screws; another, isolating a laptop’s LCD failure due to a defective motherboard.  For the latter, it was not an easy shot at first glance as it took some time to isolate the common causes, but after ruling out particular instances where the software was confirmed to be correctly installed, the hardware persisted to be otherwise.

The following are our Minnesota PC repair locations:

Apple has a new iPhone repair policy which just landed them a lawsuit filed by an angry, mistreated California customer. The new policy requires Apple employees to deny warranty coverage to any iPhone whose watermark (Liquid Submersion Indicator, or LSI) has turned from white to red. Which doesn’t sound completely unreasonable until you discover that the two LSI’s can be activated by cold weather, humidity, a bead of sweat, or a drip of condensation from a nearby glass. There are two external LSI’s located on the headphone port and on the dock connector.

The new policy applies to the one-year warranty offered automatically within the purchase price of an Apple iPhone and to the AppleCare Protection Plan, an extended two-year warranty. Under both warranties, a customer may bring his defective phone to an Apple store and have it repaired, replaced, or refunded free of charge. Lack of coverage for liquid damage on ANY of Apple’s products is nothing new — but the new policy of actively denying a shred of help to customers and their products that have alleged water damage is something new.

As the Consumer Affairs website states, “The suit alleges, among other things, breach of warranty, fraud, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.”

I think most people would agree with me when I say that Apple has terrible customer service, and a new policy to match. I have been an Apple customer since 2005, when I purchased an iBook laptop that came with an iPod. I was even sucked into the AppleCare Protection Plan for my laptop, the value of which I’m STILL not sure about. I gave up on Apple computer products after replacing my power adaptor twice because of its bad design. I own an iPhone (and I am currently on the lookout for anyone who can offer me a bubble for my iPhone that will still somehow allow me to make calls, play with apps, and listen to music. )

My best advice for dealing with Apple’s new policy is to first take your iPhone to a reputable computer repair company such as A+ Mobile PC Doctors for a preliminary opinion. The technicians will examine your iPhone, externally and internally, for any sign of water damage. If there is no water damage, you can then bring your iPhone to an Apple store and pray that they’ll take pity on your damaged goods by replacing your phone. The WORST thing you could do is to blindly bring in your iPhone to the Apple store and solely rely on their opinion. From reading forums on the Internet to hearing about my friend’s recent experience dealing with Apple customer service over a supposedly water-damaged iPhone (strikingly similar to the lawsuit situation), they will try to take advantage of you.

The downright ridiculous has just become a reality.

Minority Report

Minority Report

Gesture-based computer technology has just been developed by an MIT grad student named Pranav Mistry. It’s similar to the special effects -rendered computer that Tom Cruise used in Minority Report. If you don’t feel like watching the video, some of the coolest features of this new technology are, oh yes, the ability to project images on the wall like Tom Cruise, take pictures without a camera by using the “snapshot” gesture, dial a telephone number on the surface of your palm, pick up a book at a book store and instantly pull up and project reviews from the Internet, scan a newspaper and project available video of current headlines (how reminiscent of Harry Potter!), and as Mistry demonstrates, to play Pong with friends on the floor of the Red Line.

The newest, most exciting technology is constantly bubbling up out of Boston’s higher education campuses. There are so many computer repair shops out there, but for professional service and reliable results, only A+ Mobile PC Doctors is the best for Boston computer repair.

There are many computer repair services in the Boston area so you’ll need to be sure that you’ve got one that will handle all of your PC repair needs. And that means that you’ll need to look at the features that these places have in place so that you can pick the one that’s right for you. Remember that while there are certain functions that can be considered indispensable, there are others that don’t always apply to your business.

Data Recovery

Although there are many firms that think they can handle the data recovery aspects on their own, you need to be aware of the fact that an off site application like the ones you see with most computer repair services are the way to go. They offer the subscriber a chance to have the piece of mind of knowing that all your mission critical data is being kept in a safe place and that should there ever be a problem where it needs to be recovered quickly, this data recovery solution will be right on top of the situation.

Virus Removal

As well, you’ll need to make sure that the place you’re looking at has the best in virus removal too. Although most people are very careful in trying to avoid having their hard drives corrupted, it seems that worms and viruses seems to find their way in regardless. That means that you ‘ll need to have a dedicated group of professionals looking after the situation for you and the best place to find these people through computer repair services.
