Mr. Boon fixed our problem very quickly, and then even came in on a Sunday (when he is normally closed) to get our computer back to us when my son realized that the computer had a paper that was due the next day on it!
Description of Work: Our computer would not boot up. Mr. Boon fixed it quickly, cleaned up the hard drive, and installed new virus protection.

He is a funny guy and he is pretty good too. He had a set fee but he gave us a discount because we found him on Angie’s List. The price was definitely competitive - it was a lot cheaper than other providers. We have used him twice already, and I would rate him highly. I am actually going to him tomorrow for some more work.

Very well. I got good advice and would return to him with a larger problem in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I drowned a keyboard with a Lodi Zinfandel and took it in to Mr. Boon to see if it could be repaired. He quickly told me that new keyboards ran from $10 to $30 and there was no point in cleaning it or fixing it because it would never be the same again. This was excellent advice. I went to the retailer he suggested and purchased a new keyboard and a monitor stand. I am now keeping the wine away from the computer.

I have had continuous problems with trying to burn a DVD using my Gateway Laptop. After contacting Gateway twice and getting a new burner, as well as having a separate technician look at my computer, Boon was able to diagnose the problem immediately. He also told me what was slowing down my computer. It took a short time and he did a great job!

I dropped my computer off on a Friday and Mr Boon called me at home THAT SAME DAY with an estimate of what needed to be done. He also offered that he never fixed a computer (gaming rig) like mine, but would look at parts the next day and let me know. He called me on Saturday to let me know he found the parts and fixed my machine. I picked up my computer on the very next Monday and have had NO problems ever since. He took the time to start up my computer in his shop and walk me through the repairs that he did.
Description of Work: Mr. Boon diagnosed my gaming computer with a bad heat sync/fan which would shut down the computer after 2-3 minutes. He replaced the fan with a new one.

I found Mr. Boon on Angie's list, selected him because he was nearby and had straight-A recommendations, and took the computer to him. He listened carefully to my description of the problem, asked the right questions, and told me he would call me. A few hours later, he called to ask more specifics about the data I wanted transferred to the external drive, then called me an hour after that to tell me I could come and pick up the computer. Fast, friendly service!

I appreciated the quick response (I had expected to leave the machine with him, but ended up just waiting as he worked), and his attempts to talk me thru the problem on the telephone before I brought it in. If there were an A-plus rating, I'd give it to him.
Description of Work: Untangled a particularly knotty computer problem that I couldn't handle myself--the machine refused to boot up from hard drive or rescue disc. Mr Boon took the computer immediately and had it working beautifully within an hour of re-formatting, reloading and testing.

Excellently. See above for start to finish details
Description of Work: My computer crashed, turns out the hard drive died. Mr. Boon provided honest and thorough assessment of pros & cons for replacing hard drive or purchasing new computer.

I thought my power button was not working. Mr. Boon said it was fine and so far it has been fine since I got my computer back. My computer is not noticeably faster after the clean up like I thought it might be, but it is somewhat old. Mr. Boon was very professional, responsive and the price was very reasonable.

He understood the problems immediately and explained how he would fix them, gave me the price up front, told me the risks. The work was done sooner than I expected and he phoned me when it was done. He solved a problem that had been a major source of frustration on my computer for several years (Sony had partitioned the disk so that the C drive was much too small and the D drive, unnecessarily large).
Description of Work: Re-partitioned hard drive and performed "tuneup".

Most times I have dropped off the PCs at their offices. Ample parking and only one flight of stairs. They usually complete the repair same day or by next day and call me when it is ready. Friendly and competent repair shop. Note that the average virus removal or tune up costs about $75 or so.
Description of Work: BoonPC has looked after and repaired and serviced my PCs for 10 years now. Over the years, they have removed viruses, reinstalled software, restored hard drives, restored my PC after a crash, replaced power supply. Once they even built a PC for me to my specifications. On several occasions they sent a technician to my place to network my computers. I have always been happy with the high level of competence and service I have received from BoonPC.

Boon performed numerous tests and concluded that the motherboard was defective. Repair could only be effected with replacement. Boon advised that the computer was not worth repairing as it was over 4 years old and I would be able to buy a new desktop for about the cost of repair. I appreciated the honesty.

We were having problems with 2 computers. Thought we might have to replace both. Mr. Boon was able to diagnose and fix both computers. One needed a new hard drive and the other needed to have some programs and problems removed. Mr. Boon answered all our questions. Told us what things we could do ourselves and repaired those things that were more difficult. He responded to questions by phone afterward. Repairs were done quickly and professionally. Told us we did not need new computers at this point.
Description of Work: Fixed 2 computers--one with new hard drive and one with general clean up, update and removal of unused programs that were slowing down the computer.

Mr. Boon was amazing. He clearly described the issues. He maintained contact with me throughout the process. Even my friend (who owns an IT business) was amazed at the quality of service and the wonderful customer service provided.
Description of Work: My laptop was infected with viruses. As a result random windows/websites were popping up. I looked on Angie's List and found BoonPC. I called Mr. Boon and he allowed me to drop off my laptop the very same day. The diagnosis was not only one virus but 221! Mr. Boon not only removed all viruses, but he backed up my files (for a slight extra charge), reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled the appropriate files. He did all this in two days.

When I dropped off the laptop, Mr. Boon recognized it as approximately 8 years old and promised a 24-hour response. He called me for guidance because he could not replicate the problem. Once he did-what I thought would be a faulty graphics card turned into the need for a new system board. I priced the board-but Mr. Boon convinced me the cost of the board plus his labor would be about 1/2 the price of a new PC-and provided free buying guidance! He backed up my important files/folders to DVDs-and only charged me $55! I will return! A bonus is the location-free 2-hour parking in the heart of Bethesda!

He arrived a few minutes late, but no big deal there. He got right to work, and had the network established, laptop access, and the desktop switched from direct DSL to wireless access within 90 minutes. He also had to do a couple of quick fixes to my desktop, to make it run faster. The only minor glitch was that at first he thought he couldn't establish Internet access to my desktop since the wireless plug-in needed a newer version USB port than was available on my desktop. However, once I asked if he couldn't use a port on one of my USB busses, rather than directly to one of the desktop USB ports, he was able to make that work. He had to re-set my printer spool service, but did that quickly. Overall, I was very impressed, and would recommend this company to anyone who asks. And all of this work cost me $85! Amazing!!!
Description of Work: Set up wireless network using equipment I already had purchased, to access Internet from both my desktop (which had DSL wired access already) and my laptop, which did not. Both computers now access the 'Net' using wireless access.

The only problem we had was in waiting for the estimate for repair. After not receiving a call for a week, I called him. Turns out he does not have long distance service on his work phone so he was unable to call me. Other than that, once we exchanged e-mails and started communicating that way, he was very responsive and quick to complete the task.
Description of Work: I brought him a laptop that would not power on anymore and left it with him for repair. Suspected needed a new motherboard - he confirmed my suspicions. He told me would not be cost effective to fix. He then took all of my files and put them on a DVD. I asked if he would ship since I lived in VA and it was quite a drive to him and he very nicely agreed to do it. When I received his bill he had not even included the shipping! I included it however when I paid. He was very friendly and helpful.

Talk about a great computer experience, Boon PC is it!!!! I considered myself a reasonably informed computer user. When my computer started to slow way down, I did some investigation and testing and figured the hard drive was going. I then consulted some big box stores with computer repair services and then started to panic! The possible diagnoses and prices (ranging from $150-350) as well as length of time to get my computer back made me think it would be cheaper to get a new computer. I then consulted Angie's List (which I should have done first) and found the top rated Boon. He did not offer any diagnoses without checking it out first. I was very surprised to get the call back on Monday that he had fixed the problem which was not the hard drive but rather a complex software issue. He also suggested adding extra RAM. When I came in to pick up my computer he gave me a mini tutorial and now I am a better informed computer user. I couldn't have had a better experience.
Description of Work: Computer tune up. I had a very slow running almost unusable 5 year old desk top PC with Windows XP. I brought my computer in on a Saturday afternoon and had it back on Monday. Now it runs better than when I bought it (he added an additional 256MB of RAM)
