Computer repair in Gresham, Oregon

Gresham and east county is where I am most often asked the question I think matters most: is this worth fixing, or am I throwing good money after bad?

I try to answer that straight. A repair that costs more than half what the machine is worth is usually not a good trade, and I will say so even though saying so means I do less work that day. Equally, plenty of machines out here get written off far too early — a five-year-old laptop that has slowed to a crawl is very often a drive and a cleanup away from another three good years, at a fraction of replacement cost.

The other significant chunk of east county work is cleanup after a scam. Fake support pop-ups, remote-access software installed by someone on the phone claiming to be Microsoft, and prepaid-card demands are all common, and they hit hardest in households that do not have a family member on hand to sanity-check them. If that has happened, the priority order is: disconnect, change passwords from a different device, then call. Do not be embarrassed about it. These are designed by professionals to work, and they do.

No trip charge applies out here the same as everywhere else. Troutdale, Fairview and Wood Village are all on the same footing as Gresham itself.
