● What we fix
Computer trouble? We’ve seen it all.
02
Windows & macOS setup
A new machine set up properly from the box, or a broken Windows or macOS reinstalled with your files, apps and email right where you left them.
03
Blue screen & crashes
Random crashes, kernel warnings, the blue-screen loop that keeps coming back after a reboot. Usually a driver collision or a drive on its way out.
04
Won't start or boot
Errors on boot, storage devices missing, messages or errors that may as well be in a foreign language.
05
Data backup & transfer
Moving from the old laptop to the new one without losing a thing — photos, documents, email archives, browser logins, the whole lot.
06
Hardware upgrades
A small SSD and a bit more RAM is often all it takes to keep a five-year-old laptop honest for another three. Fitted at your place — no leaving it with us for a week.
07
Power & charging faults
Won't charge, drops off the charger, dies at 40%. Battery, charge port, cable or power board — we track down which, and replace just the part that's gone.

08
Drivers, updates & software
A failed driver install, a Windows update that broke something, a program nagging you on every startup, or everyday Windows and macOS issues that make you want to throw the computer in the bin. Don't. We'll diagnose and sort it in one visit.

● What we hear most
Six things we fix most weeks in Hobart.
Slow PC or laptop.
A slow computer is almost always fixable. We check startup programs, background processes and resource hogs. In many cases, upgrading to an SSD makes the biggest difference — turning a sluggish machine into one that feels brand new.
Often just an SSD
Won't turn on, or stuck on a black screen.
A computer that won't start can be worrying, but it's not always serious. The cause could be hardware, software or somewhere in between. We'll work through it methodically, and more often than not have you back up and running on the same visit.
Diagnosed on site
Blue screen, or won't boot past the logo.
A blue screen or frozen startup logo usually points to a driver conflict, corrupted files or a failing drive. We'll run the right diagnostics, recover your data where possible, and get you stable again.
Data first
Scammed or hacked computer.
Act fast — we'll scan and clean your system, remove malicious software and secure your accounts. We can also provide a written letter outlining what occurred, which many banks require to investigate unauthorised transactions.
Scan, clean, secure
Windows or macOS updates.
Updates are essential but don't always go smoothly. Whether you're stuck mid-update or unsure which version you should be on, we'll get your system current, stable and properly configured.
Stable and current
Data backup, recovery or transfer.
Moving to a new device or recovering lost files — we handle it all. We'll transfer your files, settings and applications across, or assess what's recoverable from a failed drive and give you honest options.
Nothing lost
● A visit, start to finish
Look, tell, then fix.
Look & listen.
We turn up when we said we would, open the machine, and actually look. No template diagnostics — we work out what's going on with yours specifically.
Tell you first, fix second.
Before we swap anything, you hear what we think it is, what it'll take, and what it'll cost. You decide. Always.
Done, written down.
We fix it, test it, and leave a short note: what it was, what we did, the one thing to keep an eye on. Plain English — no acronyms you'd need to google.
Straight up
Honest pricing, no surprises.
A flat hourly rate and no call-out fee inside 25 km of the Hobart CBD. Most home jobs sit comfortably under the hour. For those a little further out, we still come to you — just with a small per km charge for the extra distance, up to 40 km at this stage.
If we can't fix it — if the honest answer is the repair isn't worth the money — you only pay for the diagnosis time. We'd rather tell you than waste both your time and money on a lost cause.
