I was having issues with my laptop shutting down when not in use and problems watching video downloads. Was told it would be $20 to install Win 7 OEM OS. Was then told it would be that plus $40 service charge. After dropping it off, I was told the hard drive had bad sectors and it would an additional $85 to replace it. I told him to do so and picked up my computer a day later than I was told. I then starting having more issues with my computer than before the work was done. It would crash or I'd get the blue screen of death 6 o 7 times a day. This was not an issue before work was done. MS Windows was not updated and neither were the device drivers which were causing the crash issues. Updating the OS and drivers should be included with any OS reinstall. I contacted the owner and was told he had done the system reinstall and that the issues were mine to deal with. His warranty period is for 3 days but you must contact him within 24 hours after pickup to notify him of any issues. How can you do this if the issues occur on the 2nd or 3r day. I updated Win OS and downloaded the drivers after buying software to update the drivers. Additionally, I had to purchase Symantec Utilities to help improve performance. Very unhappy overall and would never use this company again. I also recommend you do not either.

made appointment to drop off the laptop. Discussed the issues with the technician. He asked a few questions about symptoms and suggested the issue was probably software related. He stated the basic troubleshooting fee was $40 or $60 if the OS needed to be reinstalled. He kept the computer and told me he would contact me as soon as he determined/fixed the problem. he called a little over a week later. he indicated that the laptop was repaired and that the total was $60 because he reinstalled the OS software. I went the next day and picked up the computer. It has been running fine for a 15 year old in high school since that time.
Description of Work: Laptop was running slow with the fan always running at high speed. I suspected an over heating problem. FIX IT FOR $40.COM reinstalled the operting system to eliminate any possible software issues. Computer continued to run slow and hot. Technician discovered that the thermal grease between the CPU and the heat sink had deteriated. He applied new thermal grease and the laptop now works fine.

The above work date is incorrect as contact was never made and a date needed to be entered in order to clear this review.
Description of Work: I can't give a rating on this company's performance because Mr. Sanchez never returned my phone calls or responded to my email. If he was too busy to help me, he could have been professional enough to let me know.

Wife's laptop would not charge or turn on (battery was dead) and the power connector/charger felt loose when connected to the laptop's power port. a nephew tried to push another laptop charger into the socket and the power port prongs that held everything in place was pushed back. Emailed him on Saturday and was able to schedule an appointment and drop it off the same day. He had it fixed within 24 hours and at a very resonable rate. Thanks for the great work - the laptop now is able to charge.

I used him before on my desktop because he had straight A's on Angie's List. He is near where I live which is very convenient. I couldn't take my stuff to somebody so I needed someone to come to me. He was able to come out the next day which was perfect. When he says “fix it for $40,” he means it. He is a computer wiz so I will absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: I bought a new laptop and Fix it for $40.com transferred the data.

Richard Sanchez did an outstanding job. He was able to correct mistakes made by another tech and save some very important, personal files to my new computer. I am definitely going to refer his services to friends of mine
Description of Work: I had a failed (hard drive) desktop computer and a failed external hard drive back-up. The first tech at my house (non-Angie's list which I do not want to go into) told me the data from the desktop was transferrable, which he put on a CD and a stand-alone file on my laptop. I purchased a new computer and printer and could no longer find the first tech. Lots of calls, no answers. To Angie's List and Richard Sanchez. I talked to Richard on Friday and he was at my house on Saturday. Richard corrected everything -- because the data that was originally transferred was all wrong. Richard corrected the file transfers, he loaded Office, and showed me how to save a few bucks on selecting which Microsoft programs to download and operate for my needs. Richard is a very knowledgeable, patient professional who I would highly recommend.

I called Sanchez at 1:00 PM on 21 May 2011, described problem, and scheduled appointment for 3:00 PM. Sanchez was 10 min. late. He had tried to call me at home but I had left the house. I described the problem and he said he would take a look forthwith. He called me at 8:00 PM and said computer was ready to be picked up. When I picked it up, he described problem in detail and what he had done to overcome problem.
Description of Work: Richard Sanchez repaired a faulty on-off button on my desktop PC.

He was efficient and timely. He had a detailed price list which seemed reasonable.
Description of Work: Richard Sanchez called before coming out and was on time. He only charged $15, and although he took in my laptop to check it at his shop and returned the next day with it. He also brought a card my PC needed. He installed all the cords.

Mr. Sanchez came to my home and spent about an hour and a half with my computer. He took my computer to his workplace to run a diagnostic program thinking that the hard drive might be dying. He returned two days later with good news. The hard drive was okay but might go out at some future time. He reformatted the computer, explained many things about the system and added more RAM to give it more memory. I was ready to have him order a new drive but he advised me to get as much as possible out of this one. He never pushed to sell me any extra services. A thoroughly professional and pleasant man.
