PC Scientist · Glebe

Deadline-week computer repair and IT support for Glebe terraces and flats

Five housemates, one connection and an assignment due on Friday. If you are in a narrow Glebe terrace, the laptop picks that week to slow to a crawl, the shared printer drops off the network, and new emails just stop arriving.

We help Glebe students, sole traders and home offices, onsite or remotely when it is email or software. Book an eligible visit online if the deadline is close.

FAQ

Questions we hear in Glebe

Usually the files are fine even when the screen is not. We plug in an external display to reach your work, copy it somewhere safe, then check whether the panel or the cable has failed. Screen parts vary by model, so we confirm the part, cost and timing with you before ordering anything or starting the repair.

It depends on the fault. Sign-ins, settings, and software can often start remotely. If it is a photo album nobody can find, we will tell you on the call which way makes more sense.

If you are not comfortable with remote access, a visit in Glebe is always an option.

Small jobs like finding a file you saved last week are often what makes the day easier, and we would rather sort them properly.

We can show you the steps for sorting pop-ups and clutter if you want to handle it yourself next time.
