Tom was unable to get in my price range, which was pretty low to start with. But he did recommend another alternative, gave me advice and things to look out for and provided links to the services. All this wihout making a dime. Tom is awesome an you better believe he's got my business next time I have computer issues! Thanks, Tom!!

Tom was able to fit my computers into his busy schedule. He had to find a part for the desk top and came back 2 days later to install this part and get the computer working.

As stated previously, Tom always showed up promptly, completed his tasks in a timely manner, and at a very reasonable fee. I have used him at my home and was extremely pleased which is why I used hired him for work at my business as well. I would whole heartedly recommend Tom and CPR for any computer related work he is comfortable doing. The computer service this business had used previoulsy was not near as responsive, or skilled, and cost considerably more than Tom.
Description of Work: Tom, performed multiple services, on multiple days, over a period of several weeks. This was for a small business and involved muliple computers and a multitude of tasks. Tom is a professional in every meaning of the word. He always shows up when promised, completes his work competently, in a timely manner, and always with a smile on his face. Services included installing a scanner, printer, reformatting a computer, installing a tv tuner card, and installing various other software, and trouble shooting.

The problem on the first computer (failure to boot) was resolved before Tom worked on the computer. However, he did install software that picked up some malware that may have caused the original problem. He recommended we purchase and install that software on our other computers. The problem on the second computer was also a failure to boot problem that required more detailed diagnostics. He found the hard drive to be corrupted and suggested that it would need to be replaced. He could not immediately retrieve data from the drive, but offered to take it with him and try some more sophisticated tools. Rather than pay for that additional service right away, we got a second opinion from Dell online support which essentially validated Tom's findings. Tom was very upfront about the fact that he had not dealt with a drive with the type of drive encryption we had and so after confirming his diagnosis about the drive we brought it to someone who had the type of experience needed with the encryption. In all of our dealings, Tom was very honest about what he could and might not be able to do, and his prices were very fair. What he did do for us was very competently completed.
Description of Work: Tom visited our office 2 times for problems on 2 computers. He did diagnostics and in one instance installed anti-malware software.

My daughter spilled a soda on my laptop keyboard. Several keys stopped working. I waited to have it repaired due to a transatlantic move. I consulted Angie's List and saw that Tom was highly rated. I e-mailed Tom and got a very quick response. Despite being under a tight deadline, Tom picked up my laptop, ordered the replacement part rush delivery and got it fixed in time for my business trip.
Description of Work: Tom replaced my laptop's keyboard in time for me to take it on a business trip - His willingness to rush this so I could have my computer was terrific!!!

I was very pleased with the service Tom provided. He is very professional, friendly, and tried to get me the latop back as soon as he could. He went beyond what he needed to do and made sure my laptop was running at its best. He gave me tips and explained how to keep it functioning efficiently. I would recommend him to anybody who needs helps with their computers.
Description of Work: Tom took care of my laptop when it started acting up and crashing repeatedly on me for no apparent reason.

It couldn't have gone better. We emailed him that we had the problem Sunday. He arrived 10:30 Monday morning. He diagnosed and corrected today?s problem quickly. Then he explained it to us; this did not go quite as quickly., but he is patient. With full function restored, he gave my laptop and my husband?s desktop routine checkups. Then he ensured we knew appropriate security and brought us up to date on the latest online threats and security measures. Last, he discussed the pro?s and con?s of the latest in electronic media resources and answered our questions. When you are Tom?s customer, he ensures that you are fully protected and up-to-date. And he tells you how to maintain your security once he is gone. He is always available by email or phone and he is the most reliable tech in any field we have known. We recommend him without reservation. .A technically savvy person who can share his expertise in plain, everyday English which my husband and I can grasp is rare. Yet such a man is Tom of Computer Problem Solutions (CPR). And it has been our good fortune to ask his assistance more than once.
Description of Work: My laptop was acting up; “Outlook” email was running berserk. I could not use it and it continuously loaded and reload email creating a horrendous log jam. Tom diagnosed the problem quickly (there was miscommunication between the computer and my iphone). With my Outlook’s function restored, he gave my laptop a checkup, tutored on how to keep our accounts secure and brought us up to date on the latest online threats and security measures. Then, he told us the pro’s and con’s of the latest in electronic media resources.

Tom was a true professional in his work. He went beyond my expectations in doing what was necessary. It would be a mistake not to use Tom.
Description of Work: Had a Gateway computer that was no longer actively used. Therefore, I wanted all information that I considered personal, confidential, or business related to be either saved or eliminated.

I had purchased a complex and rather large computer 5 years ago. It had been serviced about 6 times during that six years requiring 2 power supplies, 4 fans, and 3 hard drives.In July I started a Doctoral program and unfortunately my computer stopped working again. I called Tom, who came within 24 hours and took the 100 lb CPU to his shop for repair. 3 days later he called to say that although it might be fixable (needing a power supply and motherboard, it may not be worth the expense. Tom said that he could find a new computer, with updated wiring(sata) and less complex, easier to fix for under a $1000. Having spent $5000 on the original, I was skeptical but interested and told him to do it. Tom said to have patience as finding the right computer takes time. Tom called every 2 weeks to let me know that he hadn't forgot about me for the next 5 weeks. Last week he called to say that he had found the computer and was transferring my data. All was done and the new computer was delivered, and installed. Tom took the time not only to answer my questions but to show me the new programs he had installed to keep the my thesis safe and recoverable. I am amazed at his knowledge base and his generosity in sharing his time, expertise while keeping the information understandable. Tom's honesty and no frills attitude is refreshing and he instills a rare confidence that makes you a customer for life. I would recommend him with five stars!
Description of Work: Tom Hernden picked up my CPU to repair it. In a few days he called to say that my computer was damaged but that the complexity and age of the parts would be expensive and unnecessary. He offered to find a replacement with the same speed and components for 1/4 of the original price. Tom not only found a new computer but transferred my data and installed it in my home just as promised.

This is the 2nd time I have used CPR. 1st time was more than a year ago. About a month ago our computer came down with something.....bad virus maybe. I was ready to buy a new computer as this tower is about 7 years old. My husband mentioned the computer issue to our neighbor who works with computers for a large company. He offered to take a look at it. He took it to work and pretty much put everything back to the way it was in the beginning which was a good thing. However, when he returned the computer, it had no sound. Asked the neighbor why and he couldn't come up with a remedy. Rather than buy a new computer right now, we called Tom. He came out today and after some heavy-duty research found there was something with a sound card that had been installed at some point. It took a lot of effort to track down the information so he would know what to do. We now have sound for upcoming football games....my husband will be soooo happy. Bottom line is....we should have called Tom right away instead of letting a neighbor try to fix it. Had to call Tom anyway and we wouldn't have been without sound this long. Tom wasn't going to give up until he found the problem. Probably won't have this one fixed again, but we will call Tom to purchase, or at least install a new one. Tom is super thorough and makes sure it's done right. Super cudos for a job well done!
Description of Work: We had no sound and Tom performed his magic to fix it.

Once again Tom saved the day. One of our employees at the end of business the day before change something on accident in our server. Tom was right on top of it and fixed the problem remotely at 7:30 in the morning before we opened. Without this fix we could not access our reports and would have had the office at a stand still.

Tom has been to our office several times to work on our computer network. We have tried several other companies only to have constant problems after their work was done. Once Tom came on board he fixed the immediate problems and made suggestions for a more efficient and updated system. He did not try to sell us anything we did not need and listen to our concerns as well. We are a small family owned company and with Tom we were able to do what we wanted in small steps to make it more affordable for us. He has completely re-worked our system and it works now better than ever. Tom is always available by phone when ever I need him and very responsive to our requests.

All 3 computers are working well and running at top-notch speed. I feel more knowlegable about how to keep my information safe as I interact with the web. Tom has a wealth of "know-how" that comes from experience.
Description of Work: I referenced Angie's List in deciding to go with CPR. I had just purchased a new laptop that needed to be set up and I had another laptop and desktop that required maintenance. I contacted Tom Hernden, the owner, over the phone. I left a message and he got back with me in a timely manner. One of the issues, on my older laptop, were some back- up error messages that kept popping up. Over the phone Tom helped me resolve that issue. I scheduled an appointment and Tom arrived on time the following week. He gave me some invauluable information about how to keep myself safe as I navigate the interne,t as well as providing maintentance on my older computers. He set up my new computer with work e-mail, home e-mail, wireless printer connectivity and mal-ware installation.

I called Tom of Computer Problem Resolutions and he drove to my home that afternoon. He knew exactly how to fix the problem. He tweaked out other issues my computer had to improve performance. He installed some very good free virus protection programs and now I'm writing this report using my improved computer!

I contacted Tom on a Thursday June 30. We set up a time to meet on Friday July 1. He came to my office - performed the repairs. Tom wasn't happy with the fact that all the malware was not completely eradicated. He took my laptop and came back on Tuesday July 5. Everything was working properly, my computer is as fast now as it was when it was new. I can't tell you how happy I am with his work. The fee was very fair as well. I figured the fee would be at least twice as much based on experience with other computer service providers in the area. He was very attentive to all the details and I am a happy customer. I would recommend Tom to anyone needing their computer repaired, sped up or just cleaned up for a fair price and fast service. Thank you Tom for a service well provided!
Description of Work: My computer would not boot up and kept giving me error messages saying my hard drive was corrupted. it wanted me to buy some third party Windows look alike software. I knew I was infected. I called Tom, he asked me what it was doing. After a 2 minute conversation he told me he knew exactly what the problem was and that there was no doubt that he could fix it. I liked the confidence.

See the description of service - all in all, this company exceeded my expectations.
Description of Work: I had been having multiple issue with my laptop for a while - I called Tom, he picked up the laptop-called me the next day-advised me what was needed and the cost. When I got the computer back two days later (it was over a week-end); Tom explained what had gone wrong, what he had done to repair the laptop, discussed the best protection software and also loaded them onto the system at no additional cost. Tom is very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. I would recommend him to anyone requiring computer first aid.

It was overall a good experience. He is very knowledgable about computers and viruses and explained them in simple terms for the uninitiated. I would use him again to fix computer problems and for purchasing new computers. I would highly recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Tom Hernden of CPR came out to fix a malware problem that completely disabled a home office computer. He was great. He explained how the malware got on the computer in the first place, and then proceeded to get rid of it. He uploaded several programs on this computer and a second one to avoid malware problems in the future, and then explained in simple terms how to use it. He was a life saver.

Great, Tom is very savvy and truly seems to enjoy addressing any challenges that come his way with his poise, skill and knowledge. We will continue to call him whenever we need help or if we need to do any upgrading to our home or work computers. I rate him as A+++++!!!
Description of Work: I had used Tom's expert computer services previously at my office, after seeing his glowing Angie's reviews. I was not disappointed! Tom did everything I had hoped for and more, to make my computer run faster and smoother. He took off the bad Norton anti-virus that had all but stopped my computer from functioning, and gave me a free anti-virus program in its stead that was great (AVG). He also upgraded my RAM and did some reconfiguring that sped up my computer to its present speedy pace! Our home computer was slow, being very old, so I called Tom this week to check it out and tell us if we needed to get a new one. He said we could probably last awhile longer with this one, and he upgraded the RAM to speed it up and did the usual tweaking that he does whenever he sees a slow computer. He has also been very helpful when I need advice by phone, and he never has charged me for this, which I truly appreciate! His down-to-earth approach makes him a great asset to have in a world of computer "wizardry" that most of us find utterly confusing and useless! Thanks, Tom, for your kind help in all my computer woes!

Tom did a great job handling my previous computer issues. So I called him today when I suspected a computer virus. He called me back quickly, and asked me to describe the problem. He said I needed to correct the problem right away because the damage would get worse. He explained how I could fix things myself right away, because he couldn't respond immediately in person unless the workaround failed, which luckily did not happen. I followed his instructions and everything worked fine. No more virus, and apparently no damage to my computer. I very much appreciate Tom's expertise.

These remarks unabashedly sing the praises of Tom and CPR. Before we first began to use his services our computers were both a pleasure and nightmare for us. The hours we spent on the phone while being shunted from technicians in Bangalore to Manila and beyond became a thing of the past. Tom created viable, efficient systems out of our tangle of components and taught us methods to avoid infections, malware, adware, and miscellanyware. Always polite, Tom deftly bridges the tremendous knowledge gap dividing us. He never talks down to us and explains things in terms we can grasp. The incident prompting this report occurred this morning when my husband called Tom. He requested Tom visit us in order to assess and diagnose a malfunction which surfaced after a violent thunder and lightning storm shut his pc down. Tom spent fifteen minutes on the phone with him, suggested a fix which worked immediately and perfectly and then refused any payment. The savings in time and stress, Tom saved him are incalculable. CPR is a true find and our computers are now valuable tools that we use without the constant worry that they will break down.
