Older Computers

Computer technology has advanced quickly in the past 18 months to 2 years.

We have many customers who have had problems with their PC’s and our recommendation (prior to repairs) has been that they do a  “mini upgrade” because it is inexpensive and will allow them greater scope to perform tasks and surf the internet.

I must add that we have no problem working on older computers. Some users have no need for a super fast computer and we respect that.  However, for a few hundred dollars + labour and GST,  a lot is possible so its worth thinking about.

Contact us for a great deal or better still, bring in your PC for an obligation free assessment.

Playstation 3 Repairs and Laser Replacements

more and more gamers are purchasing PS 3’s.

Is your PS 3 having trouble reading discs or just not reading them at all ?

Don’t panic … our technicians can supply and fit a replacement laser for $180 (if you mention our website)

This is a small price to pay when considering your investment in the Console. All work is guaranteed and performed  by skilled tech’s who have already done countless PS 2 and X Box consoles.

XB 360 Upgrades

These start @ $165 GST inclusive. They open a whole new world to your gaming.

Also, XB 360 laser replacements are priced @ $66 ….. Come in and talk to our technicians about this.

Notebooks

Our service centre has been getting a steady stream of notebook PC’s with varying problems. Most new units have insufficient RAM to capably run Vista and a simple RAM upgrade is all that is required.

Oftentimes, home users have not kept their anti-virus or spyware protection up to date and this can allow all forms of virus’ or spyware (including the newest varities) to intrude. All PC owners should be diligent in this area.

Hello world!

Yesterday we had a mini drawer unit (used to auto select random numbers for raffles, lotto, bingo etc) come in for repair to the control panel and a broken toggle switch. The new toggle switch was obtained from Dick Smith Electronics and replaced. The panel cover was removed and given a good clean before the circuitry was checked for faults. It was then put back together and returned to a local hotel for use.
