It took a week for the service to be performed. It took four calendar days for the laptop to be evaluated. Sine the software in the computer signaled the error, I thought the evaluation would be done quickly. However, despite the fact that I told the intake person that the laptop had diagnosed the problem, the laptop was "put in line" for evaluation, which delayed the eventual repair- which probably took an hour once the required part was obtained. I used this company because it is advertised as an IBM qualified service center, and there are few computer repair facilities available, other than the big box chains. I did not do any comparison shopping about this repair.
Description of Work: CPU fan replaced on IBM (Lenovo) laptop

It went well - slower than I had hoped, and at a higher cost than I anticipated, but it went well.
Description of Work: I had changed my anti-virus sofware, and the settings for Java & cookies got changed. I couldn't get access to a number of my standard websites, even after following the standard recommendations for enabling. They had a backlog of requests, so were not able to get to my request immediately. Once they did, the problem was corrected.

Good.
Description of Work: Inspected Toshiba laptop that had been disabled by lightning strike / ineffective surge protector. Determined that motherboard was fried and too expensive to replace. HDD was OK, removed and put in portable enclosure so that data was no lost.

Called for an estimate to fix Dell Computer with Windows XP with hard drive problems. Was given estimate of $50.00 to look at computer and if it could be fixed, would cost no more than $120.00 to reload hard drive back to Dell original specs. After the initial assessment was done, I was told that the hard drive was bad and that I would need a new hard drive. The cost for the new hard drive and installation would be $319.00 Since this was a 5 year old computer which could also have motherboard problems, I chose not to fix this computer and buy a new one for a similar price. (I was able to buy a new computer with Windows 7 @ Office Depot for $329.00) I paid the $50.00 for the service estimate (I brought my computer in to them) and took my old computer home. The people at this company were very nice and helpful. If you have a Dell computer that needs repair, I would recommend them. They are factory authorized repair technicians for Dell and back up their work. It is a shame that it cost so much to repair my old computer, otherwise I would have let them do itl
Description of Work: Paid $50.00 to bring my computer in for diagnostic services. Chose not to spend $319.00 to repair it due to the age of the computer.

Everything went well. Access Computer came thru!
Description of Work: I was here last year and was told that the soldering they repaired was not going to last very long. I went in on a Friday afternoon (laptop would not charge anymore) and was desperate for a quick turnaround. I got a refurbished Dell laptop and needed all files transferred from my old laptop onto this new one. Steve did so, at no cost. The laptop was ready for pick-up on Monday afternoon.

They are very professional and they know what they're doing. I took my computer to them, instead of them coming to me.
Description of Work: They re-installed all of my software after it had been erased by lightning.

Great experience from the moment I walked into the door to when I picked up my computer.
Description of Work: The power plug would not stay attached in the laptop. Access Computer had to take the laptop apart and soldered back the broken part.

Our laptop hard drive was malfunctioning. Took the computer to Access for an estimate and repair. They were able to install a used 20G hard drive and reinstall the software we had on the computer, as well as general tune up.

DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT TO SET UP A NETWORK WITH MULTIPLE PIECES OF HARDWARE. I DID GET THE MAC AND TOSHIBA TO WORK AS A NETWORK BUT AM HAVING TO GET ANOTHER COMPANY TO COME OUT TO GET THE ME WORKING. THIS COMPANY DID NOT CARE ABOUT SEEING THE PROJECT THROUGH TO COMPLETION AND NEVER CALLED ME TO SEE IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS.
Description of Work: WERE HIRED TO INSTALL A WIRELESS NETWORK FOR A MAC OS X, TOSHIBA LAPTOP RUNNING WINDOWS XP AND A COMPAQ DESKTOP RUNNING WINDOWS ME. THEY INSTALLED A ROUTER AND PCI CARDS BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL THE AIRPORT CARD IN THE MAC (I HAD TO TELL THE TECH BUT HE WOULDN''T BELIEVE ME SO I CALLED APPLE TECH SUPPORT SO THEY COULD TELL HIM). ALSO DID NOT KNOW OS X WOULD NOT PRINT TO A WINDOWS BASED NETWORK PRINTER (FOUND THAT OUT FROM HP). DID NOT KNOW THAT A JET DIRECT 175X WAS NEEDED TO GET THE MAC TO PRINT TO NETWORK PRINTER. ALSO, DID NOT SET THE ROUTER TO STATIC SO THAT IT WOULD NOT CHANGE IP ADDRESS OF PRINTER. THEY WERE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT SETTING UP A WIRELESS NETWORK AND I SPENT 2 WEEKS ON THE PHONE WITH HP, LINKSYS, APPLE GETTING THE MAC AND TOSHIBA TO WORK AS A NETWORK. WHEN I CALLED ACCESS COMPUTER BACK, THEY JUST TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $95 PER HOUR FOR THEM TO COME BACK OUT (AFTER I ALREADY PAID THEM $640) AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND CLUELESS.
