PC Scientist · Marrickville

Marrickville computer repair and IT support for studios, workshops and homes

Down a Marrickville laneway, the design PC freezes each time the backup drive spins up, and the switch in the corner has sat untouched for years. Back home, the family laptop hinge is cracking and the battery barely lasts lunch. If that is what you are seeing, we can look at it with you.

We come out for the hardware and the network gear, and handle drivers, cloud sync and software remotely. Call for a visit, or ask for a quote in writing if the studio needs it on paper first.

FAQ

Straight answers for Marrickville

We test the drive, battery, memory and hinge first, then tell you plainly whether a repair makes sense for the age of the machine. Often a new SSD and a clean-up gives an older laptop years more. If the parts would cost close to a new one, we say so. Either way, the price is agreed before any work starts.

It depends on the fault. Sign-ins, settings, and software can often start remotely. If it is a desktop that restarts on its own, we will tell you on the call which way makes more sense.

Either way, you hear the likely cost of the home office tech work before anything starts.

We take moving photos off an old laptop as seriously as a bigger repair - it is still something stopping your day in Marrickville.

If a bigger problem shows up while we are in Marrickville, we explain it before touching anything.

Households, seniors, remote workers, and small teams. Warehouse studios off Addison Road are a good example of the places we visit most.

If several people share one connection in Marrickville, we plan the visit around all of them.

After a short chat about a video call that freezes, we outline the options and costs. Bigger jobs get a fixed price once the cause is clear.

Written quotes are available when households and home offices need something on paper first.
