Hardware, Software, or NothingIsWorkingware: I have got you covered!
We can't get away from computer systems, whether at home or at work and when it doesn't work, it's just not a fun time.
Computers: Desktops and Laptops
Possibly the first thing you think of when talking computing... the computer. Which can come in many shapes and sizes but at their core they are very similar and follow a well established build format in both hardware and software. Whether it is a desktop or laptop, old or new, off-the-shelf or custom built. I have you covered!
From diagnostics to solution and everything in between, I can provide the solution to the problem. Upgrades, replacing parts, and installing new parts.
Networking, including Wi-Fi
Setting up your home network can sometimes be as easy as plugging in your router from your chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP) and away you go! But on occasion you may find your network slow, Wi-Fi doesn't quite reach every part of your property. This is where come in and help you network work best for you and your usage.
And Everything Else...
I could list all the elements to computing but I will save you some reading. If there is anything you use at home or at work do with computing that just isn't working, it could be a printer, monitor, mouse, keyboard and so much more. Get in touch and I will get you computing again in no time!
Case Studies
December 2025:
Retro meets Modern
I thought my days of working with DDR2 RAM, IDE cables and Floppy Drives were over! But thankfully one dedicated owner is keeping their XP-era computer going so they can continue to play their favourite retro games on their old faithful.
But when a power issue stopped the fun, it was time for me to jump in and see if we can keep this beauty going. Thankfully, on this occasion it was just a faulty PSU, one new modern PSU later and the computer was back up and running on all cylinders!
It wasn't enough to just change the PSU, I gave this computer the full works - New thermal paste on the CPU, cleaned out the fans and upgraded the RAM capacity to ensure it's owner can game to their hearts content :)

Random Access Memoryloss
Do you remember when 4GB was enough to run a laptop smoothly? Well so did this laptop but it just wasn't able to cope with the demand of modern Operating Systems. With an upgrade of double its old RAM capacity, this laptop is now working better than it used and able to cope a lot better with the demand of its user.

Repairing and Expanding
Network Attached Storage (NAS) are an amazing way to keep all your data in once place. Keeping your data safe, backed up and often available to you anywhere in the world, it can be your own cloud storage.
But sometimes drives fail, or it simply runs out of space. This is where the RAID configuration when the NAS is set up plays a big role when a drive starts to fail or you want to increase storage.
This NAS was looking worse for ware with a faulty drive so while replacing faulty drives the owner also wanted to double the storage. Two new drives later and it was back to storing those important documents, photos and videos.

All drained and nowhere to go...
Laptops are amazing at keeping you working on the move. Often meaning that the battery the most important component!
This laptop wasn't holding charge as well as it used to. A new battery later and it was up for hours of usage on battery power!

Not dataing fast enough
Upgrading a Hard Disc Drive (HDD) for Solid State Drive (SSD) is the most noticeable upgrade a computer or laptop can get in terms of operating speed and this laptop was no different!
With this upgrade becoming more affordable compared to when SSDs came on the market it is almost a no-brainer!
Once the new SSD was cloned from the original HDD and installed the owner was soon back to using their laptop at all new speeds!
