At Dimension Computer, We fix a lot of HP laptops with these Models with video issues.  DV2000, DV4000, DV6000, DV9000.  All of these models have a video flaw that causes the notebook to display no video after a year or so.  Basically, its a bad design from HP that the video chip does not have adequate cooling.  You don't have to throw out this notebook, we can fix it.  We have to refloat the BGA chip (video chip).  We do this job just about every week.  See this video on youtube from a company that has a fix for this.  We do this similar type of fix, but we dont use a torch to heat it up.  We charge a flat fee for our Saint Louis based customers and we can turn this around in 48 hours.  Thanks for checking us out.  Please give us a call or an email.  We have two stores. One in Ballwin in 63011, and one in South County on Tesson Ferry near mattis road for computer service. 63128 zip

See this video on youtube to understand more about this.

Acer Aspire One ZG5 keys not displaying correctly PDF Print E-mail

I had a customer today that spilled something on their keyboard on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook.  We ordered a new keyboard ($40) and installed it. Then we also booted it up and checked the keys and noticed the keys on the right side of the keyboard where stuck in some uppercase mode.  We tried hitting Numlock and different Function Keys to no avail.  The Letters JKL where coming up as 123 and so on.  Anyway with a lot of internet searching we finally found a fix.  This netbook is working normally now.  If you run into one like this, please give us a call.  We can make that problem go away.  Success.

Replace Hard drives on Imac PDF Print E-mail

Look Ma, i fixed a mac.  Yes Mac's do break too eventually.  This one needed a new hard drive installed in it to bring it back to life since it was taking 15 minutes just to boot up.. thats a bad sign.  Hope you have a backup.  No problem.  We can do that. 
It is a little challenging for most amateurs to open up an Imac and do basic things like changing a hard drive or a dvd drive or Ram.  Its all under the hood though.  First i removed the bottom four screws, removing a metal plate.  Then i had to find some special Torque Screwdriver bits to open the "special" screws and with a little more effort and some proprietary secrets, i was able to break this thing open and replace the hard drive.  Then i put it all back together again.  Yeah.   The next part involves the customer having the correct DVD's to install the MAC OSX operating system.  Hmmm, similair to installing Windows operating system.  But, before that is possible you have to figure out how to open the CDROM to start the install.  After all that, you have to partition the hard drive to work with the Mac. No more free hints.   Anyway, its difficulty level is about 8 out of 10 if you are not familiar with doing this type of work.  We don't do a lot of Mac work, but we have enough experience to do almost any project involving hardware and software, even a Mac. 

If you need help with this type of project and you are not computer literate enough or dont feel like the challenge, please bring it in and ask for Jim.  I will be happy to help you out and probably be a lot cheaper than the Mac Store if they even do that type of work on an older model like this.   Most places would just tell you to buy a new one..  You dont always have to replace it if it can be fixed. Thanks for reading.

If you get a message on your computer saying that you got infected with a virus or several virus, and you see a green or a blue icon that says Antivirus Security, and you can't get it to shut off or it wants you to pay for some program, don't do it.  This is a bad spyware program and it defeats most users with its annoying messages or it can also shut off your internet and it even shuts off almost all programs like malwarebytes, spybot, and antivirus programs like AVG, Norton, Mcafee, Avira, Avast, you name it. that you would normally try to clean it with.  You can spend many, many hours trying to figure it out yourself or just bring it in to us.  We have seen this one hundreds of times.  We can clean it out most of the time without wiping out everything else you have ever installed.  Its not a big deal for us.  WE do this type of work everyday.  Call today for a quote on this job.

 

 

 

PS. We can have you back in under 24 hours in most cases.  PS. WE are much cheaper than the Geeks...
