PC Scientist · Shortland
Assignment week in a Shortland share house: four laptops, one router, and the Wi-Fi gives out right when the essay needs uploading. Online guides assume you already know the jargon, which helps nobody at midnight.
We sit beside you and work through it, saying what each step does. That suits students, renters and anyone running a side business from a bedroom desk. Call for a chat, or book an eligible visit online.

FAQ
We check whether the drive is still readable, look for autosave and cloud copies, and see why the crash happened - often a failing drive, a bad update or overheating. If the file is there, we copy it somewhere safe before repairing anything. You hear the likely cost first, and we set up a backup so the next essay is protected.
We decide together on the phone. Account and email faults often clear remotely, but the Wi-Fi across a share house usually means we come out.
Let us know about student parking near the campus early so the visit runs smoothly.
Of course. Small things like the printer five housemates share can swallow an afternoon, and sorting them is part of the work.
We can walk you through it step by step, or fix it and leave notes at a share house near the university.
Homes and home offices are in scope, and so are tutors and small shops near the university. Large enterprises with round-the-clock IT departments are not our focus.
Small teams without IT staff suit us well, especially around the Hunter Wetlands Centre.
The cost comes before the work. If the second-hand PC that needs a clean start needs more digging, we explain why and quote that clearly too.
No Fix, No Repair Fee applies to repair work we cannot complete, and you still leave with clear advice for a share house near the university.
From Shortland we regularly head to Jesmond, Sandgate, and Birmingham Gardens, and further across Newcastle.
