Called and talked with James to see if he could help me. We set an appointment for the next day. James is a very methodical troubleshooter. Within an hour after arriving at our house, he found that for some reason Win10 had not completed several significant updates. There had not been any errors or displays that there was a problem. Once he was able to these installed, my PC was working as previously. It's been over a week and it is still working good. Definitely would use James again and have recommended him to others.
Description of Work: My Win10 PC had problems with the USB mouse and keyboard working. I tried all the fixes I could find by Goggle. Non-worked. It was either get it fixed or a new PC and try to restore my backups to it. Did not like the later choice.

James arrived on time. Went right to work after I explained the objectives. I got out of his way and let him do his thing. He called when he needed me. The work went smoothly. As always, there are quirks in work like this. He resolved them and my computer was working perfectly when he left. He even resolved some issues I had with my old computer that were making certain programs more difficult to use. The job was tedious and time consuming, probably more so than some others. This was the second time I used Jim. The first was a simpler job but I knew he was the person I wanted for all of my work. In fact, he will be back next week to do some additional work for me.
Description of Work: Set up my new laptop and transferred all of the data and programs from my old desktop. Assured everything was running correctly. Installed some critical programs and installed a new backup software capable of backing up to my network drive and a USB drive.

These people were great!!! James came and tried to save me money and find what was wrong, hoping to just replace a part. Once he found that it was the motherboard, it would be cheaper to buy a new one. He even went with me to Fry's to pick another one that would best fit my business circumstances. He set the new one all up and transferred all my data over. Back working normally when he left. I could never have done that. He was nice, explained everything as he was doing it and didn't waste time. Very user friendly. You won't be disappointed.

Jim arrived at the house with the Wi-Fi extender, tested a couple of locations until he found the optimal one. Tested the signal at the irrigation controller and that job was done. He then tackled the laptop and solved the specific problem we had been experiencing (intermittent on/off of sound). He identified the problem (an out of date driver), installed the new driver and updated 13 other drivers that needed to be updated. All is well now.
Description of Work: Install Wi-Fi extender to provide sufficient signal for my Wi-Fi irrigation controller in my garage. Identify and fix a problem with a laptop.

He was great. It took about three hours. It's really a one man shop. He was very professional, friendly, and I had no hesitations about having him here in my home. I feel like I can call him with any follow up questions I may have. I'm glad I found him, because now I feel like I have somebody I can call if I have any problems.

He wasn't able to fix but I still give him an "A" for his effort because I felt he did his best. Guess I'm going to have to buy a new printer/scanner. He was professional and courteous.

They do emphasize "on the go", so evidently their specialty is onsite repair. However on their website, they give an address 1209 Northwest Hwy. STE 318. I wanted to bring my laptop in and drop it off for repair. I even called this morning to be certain that I knew how to get to their location, and was told that I had the correct address. When I got there this afternoon, I found that their address was a for rent mailbox/key repair location. I called the number again. The lady verified their address again. When I asked to speak to a manager, she revealed that she was just an answering service. She took my number and said she would get them to call me back. In the meantime, I went into the PO box place. It turns out that the "STE 318 is really P.O. Box 318. They have no actual physical location!!! In addition, no call back!!! Evidently, it's business run out of the back of the guy's car/truck!!! Now, I do note that he gets good reviews, but I have to wonder why he misrepresents having a real location. I guarantee, I have no intension of using this shyster!!!

Response from Geek On The Go - On Site Computer Tech Support
The scheduling agent must have misunderstood your intention to drop something off at the address. The address on my website clearly states that it is the mailing address. Also stated on my website and all online descriptions, is that I specialize in doing On-site service Only by Appointment Only, and that there are No Drop Offs. The scheduling agent may have verified the address is correct, but should not have indicated for you to drop anything off there. I did get an email to contact you, and did call you as soon as I was finished with my current job. All calls are returned between jobs so that I can focus and give great customer service to the person I'm dealing with at the time. My reputation and service speak for themselves with all the 5 Star reviews I have on Angie's List and other websites over the last 10 years. I regret any miscommunication and that I could not deliver that same customer service to you.

My computer was extremely slow to boot/load files. Not all applcations worked properly. Mr. Duncan made every effort to restore the existing system but finally decided that it would need to be reinstalled. Because the computer was running so poorly this all took much longer than either he or I would have hoped. He was here a little over four hours. I watched the process and he did everything possible to make it efficient. What I particularly liked was that he ensured that all my files were saved and he also saved as many setting as possible to be used when application software also had to be reinstalled. The computer now is acceptably fast and a number of the applications work better.

He was scheduled to arrive the next day between 12 and 2. He called and said he'd be here between 12:30 and 12:45 and was right on time. He spent quite some time cleaning things up on the computer and running diagnostic tests. He was able to make the machine function again but there were hardware issues that he found. There was a problem with the CD and we would need a new one. There also were problems with part of the hard drive. We felt it was only a matter of time before we would need a new computer. That's not what we were hoping for, but that's what it turned out to be. I'd rather know before it totally broke down so that we can copy stuff from the old to a new box and get the settings set up like we were used to. So our next project is to buy a new computer and get Turbo Tax loaded so that the real fun can begin! James was a total professional and gave us his opinion on computer brands and security software.
Description of Work: Our desktop computer had been freezing up and wouldn't allow us to download software from CD. We'd had problems with security software and thought that was the issue. James came to diagnose our problems.

James was on time. He came prepared. He is polite, competent and uses your time wisely. There were things he taught me to do myself both for the future and because he didn't want me to pay for his time to transfer files for an hour or two when I could do it myself after he left. However, if I had needed him to do it all he would have. I really appreciated his sensitivity to this. He is a true professional. Even my geeky husband, appreciated his knowledge of network drives and their vulnerabilities. He is completely at home with Windows systems, a bit less so with Apple - I have both. Advised me on a number of programs that would be helpful to me in handling pictures. I have peace of mind again over my pictures.
Description of Work: Moved my massive picture files into one place. Advised me on how to back them up - external hard drive, network drive and internet. Helped me understand how various cloud services work (dropbox, iCloud, idrive, etc) so that I could decide how to back up critical files ( I have too many back up services and am not backing everything up). Answered a long list of questions that I had about my computers and their various back up systems

He was there about an hour and a half. It simply took that long to try to determine the issues with my desktop. All in all, he got it back into working order, but he had to give the bad news (which was completed expected by the way--no surprises) that my hard drive would eventually become unworkable. That's sad, as much as I spent on that computer at the time (I hope not to spend that much again, because they get outdated and parts become irreplaceable). But, as I said, the news wasn't unexpected. But, any machine that I do get, I'll feel very comfortable calling this gentleman to work on it, because he's proven his competence and his knowledge.
Description of Work: My desktop is at least 10 years old, and there were a number of issues. He was very courteous, very thorough and seemed quite competent and knowledgeable about his field. He ran all kinds of scans and discovered for one that something was occupying the hard drive at 100%, which is very high. He ran a virus scan, and that didn't appear to be the problem. The first thing he did prior to that was to change out my video card because the previous one had simply stopped working. He checked the activity of various processes and programs, and much more, which I don't know enough about to detail.
