She did a excellent job. She was quick and efficient with setting up the network cables and testing them. She also helped provide ideas on how to provide comprehensive wireless coverage in my house. I've been challenged with getting good signal strength across my house due to walls and other materials which has blocked/degraded the wireless signal and she gave me some good ideas. It was clear to me that she's knowledgeable in computers and networking and with the hands on experience to be a good consultant.
Description of Work: Cindy came and setup all the network cables that need to be terminated with a RJ45 jack. Also provided some consultative advice on wireless setup and network setup

It went very well. It’s one lady, Cindy Payne – she is very nice. She came to my house and deals whatever she needs to get done. Whatever she cannot complete she took back to her home and then put it back to us and she was very prompt and we will use her again.
Description of Work: I used Payne PC Consulting for computer repair & services. Cindy Payne came and done PC tune-up for me.

Cindy was very knowledgeable and professional. She came on time and immediately went to work on the computers. Her charge was within her phone estimate and she honored the discount for a new customer I plan on using her services and will recommend her to friends.
Description of Work: I was helping a friend, Louisa Lance, with her computer. Since I could not get the laptop to work, I called Cindy and made an appointment with her to come the next day at noon. Cindy came promptly and went to work on the computers. Customer, Louisa, has a Dell desktop and an ASUS laptop containing the same files. The laptop had a disc failure and was replaced by ASUS.. All files were lost on the laptop. Cindy backed-up the files on the desktop and loaded a copy on the laptop. She also fixed some other system problems. The computers had WI-FI on both systems but would not connect to the internet. Cindy fixed the network problem and suggested a network alternative that would save significantly on Louisa's phone bill. Cindy also set up a new email for Louisa.

Overall this was a great experience. My only mistake was that I monkeyed around with the computer myself for a while before calling Cindy.
Description of Work: My hard drive crashed. Cindy picked up my computer, installed a new hard drive, restored my data, set up an automatic back-up with icon on my desktop, and explained clearly everything she did. She's very professional, very nice and her pricing is more than fair. I highly recommend Cindy.

Two thumbs up for Cindy!! She made this computer of mine perform better than it ever has. I had tried two other companies, but they did not get back to me in a reasonable amount of time. Cindy was extremely friendly, well mannered, professional, honest, and very good at her job. She got rid of all the junk, and got rid of whatever was creating it. I just can't thank her enough, The price was reasonable, the customer service exceptional. Thank you, Cindy. Thank you for a job well done !!!!!
Description of Work: My hard drive space was almost completely used up, but I wasn't creating new documents or downloading any files.

Cindy was very professional and knowledgable, she offered flexible times and the option of coming to my home personally or fixing it remotely at a discount. She left me a detailed document telling me what the problem was and how to prevent it in the future. I will definitely use her again!
Description of Work: My computer was virtually useless and Cindy came in and cleaned up a mess! I feel like I have a new laptop again and totally appreciated the remote service. She connected and fixed my laptop within a couple of hours. I definitely got what I paid for... and then some! I HIGHLY recommend her services, I could barely do what I needed to do for my home business and when I could, it took forever!

Our computer was running really slow and we had boxes popping up telling us that we had a virus. It was almost impossible to use the computer. Cindy told us that it would be extremely costly to pay her to do it in our home while we waited, so she offered to take it with her and bring it back the next day at a reduced price. Our computer seems to be running even faster than it did when we bought it! She removed a lot of the programs that we don't use. She also installed updated antivirus and other software to scan the computer, and showed us how to update and run the scans so that we could keep it running the way it is now. She was very friendly and professional. What I appreciate the most is that we were not making sure that we had a copy of our pictures and our music, and she asked us if we were, explained why it was important to do that, and sold us an external drive and set it up to automatically copy what was important to us. Two weeks later, we went to turn the computer on, and it gave us an error message right when it started. We called Cindy back, and she told us that our hard drive died. She replaced it, and put everything back the way it was. We had pictures of our kids and grandkids and music that we had copied from our CDs. I don't know what I would have done if we had lost all of that!
Description of Work: Performed maintenaince and optimization.

She had it up and working within 15 minutes, so she performed maintenance and optimized the performance. Our computer has not run this well in years! She also told us what had happened and what we should do if it happens again so we don't have to pay additional service fees, which I appreciated. We would definitely recommend her to a friend, she was polite, friendly, and professional.
Description of Work: We had no Internet access.
