A customer’s HP laptop broke down in Stanwell Tops, and customer had tons of data on the old laptop which were irreplaceable and it was his work collection of files over 8 years (!).
I could rescue teh data and copy it to his new laptop, all was done in a couple of hours and customer can sleep now again.
A customer from Leumeah had his laptop mouse not working. The mouse buttons are stuck and not working anymore. The repair was to replace the touch button board. This was done in about 1/2h and the laptop works now like on day 1.
Not all software we need is running on a Mac. Sometimes we need to compromise and install Windows on a Mac. We have the option to use Apple Boot Camp, but with this we need to decide what OS we bring up, or we use virtualisation software like VirtualBox or any better one like Parallels. The benefit of virtualisation is that we can run our MacOS and run Windows in a ‘Window’ which in this particular case was the best option.
The customer just paid a fraction of the price what a new Windows PC or Laptop would have costed and can use his loved iMac to work on.
Also, he has the option to use snapshots of the system status and the system can be restored within seconds.
10-year-old iMac A1225 had a broken screen, logic board and had lots of data on it.
Replaced logic board screen and hard disk, upgraded the Mac OS X from 10.5.8 to 10.7.5
Upgraded memory from 2GB to 4 GB and restored all data.
This job was just a bit over $500 and gives the customer at least 2 more years iMac happiness…
Just restored a corrupted Outlook PST file for a business customer in Dual.
It was was bit of a challenge due to the size of the .pst file, but on the end we could restore all emails.
Broken Hard Disk in Turramurra.
Replaced Hard disk with a SSD, Installed Windows 10 and all software.
Recovered data from old hard disk and copied on it.
A fix price was arranged which no-one in the industry could beat
Customer happy and told me it’s like having a brand new computer without spending the money for it 🙂
