Grant was terrific! He was punctual, charged a reasonable fee, and not only corrected existing issues he made suggestions on how to avoid them in the future. If I have future computer problems, I will definitely call Portland Support Computer Repair again.

I saw the favorable comments from other members of Angies List and decide to try them. I could not have been more pleased with the service and results. I took the computer in after doing some research on local repair places and found such positive reports about them from satisfied customers. They were quite professional and very knowledgeable and, as it turned out, had correctly guessed the problem from my list of symptoms, even before I left the shop a few minutes later. The computer was repaired and ready to be picked up a day later. The total cost for parts and repair was less that some other local places charged to diagnose. The service was quick, very reasonably priced, and outstanding in all respects. I can't recommend them higher and will be taking the machine back to them for some planned upgrades after the holidays.

Laptop runs very well again. Provider cleaned and ultimately had to replace the operating system. They transferred the photos and files, etc so we didn't lose anything. Have used Portland Computer in the past and always been happy with results.
Description of Work: Laptop was not connecting, had some trojans and ran slow.

Description of Work: Laptop would not wake up after a nights rest. Thought it may have been a power issue as no indicator lights would come on. Portland support determined my laptop motherboard had an intermittent partial short that would not permit booting. Since the unit was 6+ years old the recommended to not repair. They retrieved the hard drive and offered to reassemble. No charge since they could not fix it. One day turn around. While not pleased my Laptop had died - I could was very pleased with the service provided.

Description of Work: |Portland Support Computer Service is my go to spot for my computer service. Greg takes the time to explain what he will do and why in simple terms for this non-geek. This time he cleaned 5 viruses from my windows 8.1 computer and changed the log in screen to look more like what I am sued to. I will continue to use and recommend Greg & Portland Support.

It went as well as it could. Easy parking, went right in, explained what I could about the various issues. Told I could probably expect a call the next day, but upon arriving home mid afternoon, I had a message that it was ready. It's working fine now. This could not have gone down any better than it did. Definitely worth straight A's.
Description of Work: laptop was inop due to update problems and a virus program that I couldn't uninstall. They removed the virus that Norton/ Comcast couldn't keep away, and fixed the update issues, and whatever else was going on. They added an additional security program that they also use on a free trial basis which I will evaluate, but if it keeps away the issues Norton didn't stop, I will consider subscribing to it.

I chose PSCR because they advertised a ? Free Laptop Diagnostic Service? where you ? bring your Laptop into our computer repair shop and receive a completely free system diagnostic service? and ? let you know up front what the repair cost will be. If you decide the cost of the repair is too much then simply pick your system up and owe absolutely nothing.? I brought the laptop in and explained that before failing completely I was able to run hardware diagnostics from the BIOS and several anti-malware programmes and found no problems. They called be after about three days, told me that the NVIDIA GPU had failed (desoldered due to overheating) and the repair would cost $270. When I told them to go ahead with the repair, they said I could collect it ?now, because we?ve already fixed it.? Not exactly what I expected. Several other things made me uncomfortable. I had to ask for a receipt that showed that I had actually left my laptop in their shop and none of their paperwork identified the machine by model number or serial number. The laptop was repaired and, although now seldom used, appears to be running properly.
Description of Work: My wife's laptop (HPtx1110us) failed to boot. Portland Support Computer Repair (PSCR) diagnosed the problem (the NVIDIA GPU had desoldered due to overheating) and repaired it.

Response from Portland Support Computer Repair
GPU assessment is most always the last resort before declaring a motherboard/CPU failure. The only way to determine whether desocketing of the GPU is the issue is to reflow the GPU solder. There is no device or mechanism designed to ascertain if the GPU solder has been compromised - the only way to test this issue is to reflow the GPU. This is why customer was told his system was done so quickly after being asked if he wanted the job done. If the reflow job had failed, our customer would not have been charged anything. In relation to customer's not receiving receipts when dropping off systems, it is our job to address any "comfort" concerns customer's may have. We keep internal paperwork on all jobs we work on, and in eight years of business, have never "lost" or "misplaced" any customer parts. Less than 1% of our customers ask for a detailed receipt when dropping off their systems, but all are provided such if they ask. Customers visit our shop with many different expectations. We encourage everyone to share them with us so we can help obtain the comfort level each customer deserves. Best Regards, Grant C. Lansing CEO, Portland Support Computer Repair 503-206-5499

I had to wait a long time for the part to arrive and they weren't great about informing me that it would take that long. My computer was dirty and scratched when I got it back (but I'm very picky). I felt they were a bit condescending but they are very close to me so what can I say?

Response from Portland Support Computer Repair
Customer's part delivery was delayed due to severe weather conditions on the East coast. Airports closed for three days. Customers notebook was cleaned while she was present. Nothing was ever placed on top of customers notebook so the scratches (seen when held to light) were not caused by us. Our customers are the reason we are in business. We would never act condescending towards anyone, and are very sorry this customer feels we performed under her expectations.

My company computer and personal computer were networked to a router and the router was connected to the Comcast box. Each computer kept knocking the other off the internet. I talked to Comcast, the router manufacturer (LinkSys), and my corporate IT group. Nobody could solve the problem and they all pointed fingers at each other. After numerous tests Grant figured out that the router was to blame, which wasn't the obvious choice, since it was brand new. He gave me a loaner (which I eventually bought) and offered to help me deal with LinkSys on the return (not necessary). Along the way he solved an unrelated problem with a looping popup window on one of the computers. It was an excellent experience. Grant works hard, knows his stuff, explains things well in layman's terms, and goes the extra mile to solve the problem.
Description of Work: Troubleshot and diagnosed a home networking problem.
