FAQ

Questions we hear in Rankin Park

We check the drive, memory, battery and temperature, then look for a driver or update that started the crashes. Student laptops often run hot from dust or carry a failing drive. Notes and assignments are backed up first. If a granny flat or telehealth room also lacks signal, we can look at that too. Nothing goes ahead until the price suits you.

We decide together on the phone. Account and email faults often clear remotely, but the Wi-Fi out to a granny flat usually means we come out.

Mention bush-edge streets and long driveways when you call and we plan for it.

Yes. Logins, printers, email, and lost files are real jobs, not favours. Plenty of hospital staff, students, and families start there.

If a few small things have built up in Rankin Park, we can take care of them in one visit.

We look after family homes on bush blocks near John Hunter Hospital, as well as home-based health workers and tutors.

Small teams without IT staff suit us well, especially around the Rankin Park bushland.

After a quick chat about the cracked phone with no backup, we set out the options and what each costs. Bigger jobs get a fixed price once diagnosed.

No Fix, No Repair Fee covers repairs we cannot finish, so hospital staff, students, and families never pay for a dead end.

We cover Rankin Park and nearby New Lambton Heights, Lambton, and Jesmond, plus the wider Newcastle area.
