Jerry brought back Windows 7, and everything works again. I dropped the laptop off at his house, and it was back to operable condition in less than three days. Even though his fix of the second computer didn't last, I don't fault Jerry for the problem, because the computer was working fine when he returned it. Obviously, it needs more troubleshooting, but I have every confidence in Jerry's work. He was extremely reasonable about the cost of the work, too. Specializes in Dell products.
Description of Work: I needed to restore Windows 7 on my Dell laptop after a disastrous self-attempt to upgrade to Windows 10. After that success, I brought him my 7-year-old desktop Dell, which has been performing poorly for a number of years -- stalling, freezing up, refusing to start, refusing to shut down. In one day, he fixed some bad sectors on my hard drive and had it back to running condition in one day. Unfortunately, after a successful day restoring programs to this computer, I started getting some of the old problems again. It appears that there's a flaw in the graphics card software that is causing files to be hidden, according to the Microsoft support site. I'm trying to learn about this on the Microsoft site, but if I can't resolve it, I will not hesitate to return it to Jerry to see if he can take another crack at it.

The process went extremely well, I went to Jerry's house and dropped off the computer. After a couple of days he called me and I came and picked it up. He was extremely professional and I enjoyed our conversation. I wouldn't hesitate to refer a friend to Jerry and will likely drop off my desktop to have him go through it also.
Description of Work: The provider ran diagnostics on the hardware and software, replacing any necessary components.

Jerry set up my new laptop and wireless printer. He transferred all the files from my old computer to my new laptop. He organized all of the wires behind my desk and made sure my wireless connection and everything else was working before he left. He was extremely efficient and knowledgeable. He offered to wipe the drive clean on my old computer and donate it to a local school. I was very pleased with the service I received and his cost was very reasonable. I will definitely call Jerry again for any future computer service needs.

He was amazing. He knew Cox's number by heart and got a few things straight. It took him almost no time and I've had professional technicians here for hours with far less results.
Description of Work: I don't know what he did, but my computer has never had more speed. Something with the router. He also took off Chrome, per my request, and added Java for me. Plus misc. things.

Jerry came to our house within a few hours of our first contact. He very quickly corrected software problems on two computers, and additionally provided good advice. He then took an old laptop back to his office where he did diagnostics and updates, and returned it to our house in just a couple of days. Excellent personality and service.

Jay was great, took the time to ensure the computer was in great working condition. I was thinking we needed a new computer, but Jay told my wife her computer was fine, it just needed a little hug and TLC. I would definitely go back to him for other computer needs.
Description of Work: Jay tuned up my wife's computer and deconflicted the anti-varius software which was causing all sorts of problems.

The proprietor of Little Red Tool Box, Jerry, did a terrific job and I couldn't be more pleased. I had struggled with a computer virus problem for over a month and even spent quite a bit for remote access service through another company that ultimately didn't do the job. No such problems with Jerry though. I dropped my laptop off on a Saturday afternoon and it was ready that evening. The computer is running like new thanks to the work provided by the Little Red Tool Box. I would highly recommend Jerry and his company for excellent computer skills, professional and prompt service and extremely reasonable fees.
Description of Work: Removed a virus from my laptop computer and tuned up the operating system.

Jerry quickly determined the cause of the problem--a malfunctioning battery charger. Our computer was repaired promptly and at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend The Little Red Toolbox as a highly skilled computer repair business that offers top notch customer service at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: Our Samsung Ultrabook battery was not charging. We dropped off the laptop at Little Red Toolbox. Jerry, who is the computer specialist was very professional and gave us an accurate time estimate as to when the laptop would be examined.

I called him and left a message. He called back within minutes and gave me directions to bring the computer to him. About 3 hours later he called and I picked up the computer...........all fixed. He also reccomended that I cancel the credit card that was involved in the transaction, which I did. I was very happy with his service.
