When I contacted John he responded immediately with an attempt to correct things via a phone connection to my computer. After trying many ways to solve the issue we decided it would be more effective to drop the unit off at John's home. This done, John called me the next morning to say it was fixed and it could be picked up. Apparently there was a conflict caused by my anti-malware software. We agreed to remove it as I also had at least two other software programs to control malware. I am very pleased with John's prompt help and knowledge and his effective correction of the problem. Certainly I will use his services again should I have a problem. I recommend SymbaTech and John Ledden.
Description of Work: Following my attempt to clear an error message concerning my graphics software, my computer started to act weird. To avoid making the matter worse with my tinkering, I decided to hire someone to correct the problem. Through Angie's List I found a computer geek (no offense to computer experts) who works and lives locally - John Ledden who owns SymbaTech Technical Services.

Several days prior, I rec'vd an email titled and quot;Delivery Notificationand quot;, indicating the USPS had attempted to deliver a package, but no one was at my office to receive it. It directed me to download and print a and quot;labeland quot; and pick up at the nearest post office . It just so happens, I was awaiting delivery of several packages. When I clicked the link to what appeared to be a Word document, my computer immediately started closing down programs and re-booted itself. Apparently, I had downloaded some type of virus. I attempted to remove the virus myself using a free online program; however, no luck. Called and left message for John @ Symbatech. He returned call about 30 min later and jumped right on it. He was able to connect to my computer remotely and went through misc. steps and scans to locate harmful files and removed them. Now, my computer runs as smoothly as before. This guy definitely knows his business and is very efficient. I'm fortunate to have discovered him and I'm planning to use him for all my business and personal IT needs in the future.
Description of Work: Removed trojan virus from office computer.

.My Toshiba laptop had a blank screen and only a line blinking at the top. I thought I hit all the F buttons on restart, but could not find a way for my computer to read my recovery cd. I went to Angie's list for anyone with more than one A and that was close to me. I found John. John was able to get the laptop reading the disc drive again at startup and only took a few minutes.

As before, I was very happy with his service and would never let anyone else touch my computer.
Description of Work: I had used John's service several times before and was delighted with his work each time--quick turnaround and very fair price. I had a problem with my computer recently and called him to determine if I should bring it in. He talked me through a solution over the phone and it worked!

Description of Work: My desktop computer crashed. John, owner of Symba Systems responded punctually to my distress call. He repaired it within two days, (not bad considering he has many customers) and saved most of my data. Price was very reasonable. Have used him in the past for viruses infecting a laptop, and a desktop freezing at times. The usual repair is very fair at $150 to $180 dollars. However, he does not simply wipe the hardrive clean like Citrus Park Computers did in the past, reinstall the operating system and erase all my data. John is much more highly skilled than that. He knows how to repair a computer and not do a one trick pony repair like Citrus Park computers. He works out of his house, and does computer consulting and repairs full time for a livilihood.

They saved me about a weeks time with their fix! It would have been a huge pain to replace the disk. It’s been a month since the service and I haven’t had any issues.

I brought it to John at Symba Systems and since the problem came and went, it was difficult to track down. After trying several solutions, he figured out that a couple of parts needed replacing. Since I have gotten it back from him it has worked perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

I checked the list. I selected Symba. Called and promptly received a return phone call. John indicated his potential availability on the same day provided I had a bit of flexibility in my schedule. He provided adequate notice of his availability. He came, diagnosed, repaired, billed and we went on our individual ways.

I had no problems contacting John, and he was very quick with a follow-up and keeping me up to date on what was going on.
Description of Work: My computer screen just went blank. John came promptly and tried to diagnose the problem at my home. When that did not work, he took the hard drive back to his office and had the problem diagnosed and fixed and my computer back over the weekend.

Great. John is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Had a problem with my mouse freezing. Called John, and he was very helpful. He said to try borrowing a USB type mouse. We were about to buy a cordless mouse anyway, so it was no problem. We bought the USB cordless mouse, and it worked - no more freeze!

I CONTACTED JOHN LEDDEN'S CELL NUMBER AND LEFT A VOICE MESSAGE. HE CONTACTED ME WITHIN TEN MINUTES, AND STATED HE WOULD BE OVER IN 30 MINUTES. IT ACTUALLY TOOK HIM 35 MINUTES. HE NOT ONLY GOT THE COMPUTER UP AND RUNNING, HE CLEANED OUT A LOT OF TRASH (FILES) THAT HAD GATHERED OVER THE YEARS. SPENT 3 HOURS ASSISTING ME. GREAT JOB AT A WONDERFUL PRICE. I WOULD RECOMMEND JOHN TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: MY OLDER COMPUTER CRASHED AND WOULD NOT BOOT UP AFTER INSTALLING A SYMANTEC PRODUCT. AS MANY OF MY IMPORTANT FILES OVER THE YEARS WERE STORED ON THE HARD DRIVE, I WAS ANXIOUS TO GET THE COMPUTER WORKING AGAIN. AS IS TYPICAL I HAD NOT BACKED UP MY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. JOHN WORKED HIS WAY INTO THE HARD DRIVE, AND THEN MANIPULATED FILES UNTIL HE COULD BOOT UP UNDER MINIMUM CONDITIONS. HE PERFORMED SEVERAL TESTS USING PROGRAMS FROM HIS HOME COMPUTER, AND RECONDITIONED THE HARD DRIVE WITH THOSE PROGRAMS. THERE WERE OVER 800 CHANGES ALONE TO THE REGISTRY. JOHN THEN GAVE ME SOME TIPS TO BETTER COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, AND GAVE ME A FREEWARE COPY OF A GOOD VIRUS PROGRAM. WHAT A PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE.
