Broken PC LTD offers a range of services varying from basic computer repair to advanced data recovery and network installations. Below is a list of our services.  

General Fixes

Diagnostics and Optimizations: When you're computer isn't acting right, a technician will find the root cause of problems and catch them before they cause any long term damage. Your computer settings will also be optimized to bring it back up to its original out of the box speed. This service generally entails tracking and removing spyware, adware, viruses, Trojans, worms, and a hoard of other creepy malware. We'll also disable any unnecessary programs that hide in the background, slowing down your entire computer so they can load a few seconds faster when you call on them. The technician will also give advice about potential upgrades to the computer, such as adding an additional hard drive to the computer for more storage space, or some more RAM for better multi-tasking.

Computer Security: In the world of computers, there's always someone looking to steal your valuable information. These people often succeed, not necessarily because of their skill, but instead because users do not know how to adequately protect their computers, their personal information, and themselves. Contact a Broken PC LTD computer technician to help lock down your computer and your data, and instruct you how to appropriately act in situations where your data might be at risk.

Installations

Software Installation: Even the most simple program can be a big pain to install and configure if you're not one hundred percent sure what you're doing. Get it right the first time: let a Broken PC LTD tech help you out. We'll come and install or repair your software suite, make sure it’s up to date, and properly configure it. If it's common software, such as Microsoft Office, we'll even give you a quick run-through so you're comfortable with the basic features of the program.

Hardware Installation: Sometime's what worked for you in the past just isn't going to cut it anymore, and there's only one thing that leads to: upgrades. Be it a new video game for your kids (or yourself!) or perhaps a new application for your job, you might need to get some new hardware in the old beige box. Let a Broken PC LTD computer repair technician install one of the following:

RAM: Memory is the components where running applications store any information they're using. The more programs you run, the more memory you need.
Hard Drive: The hard drive disk is where all your actual files are stored. If you're a big media junkie, you're going to need a lot of room!
Optical Drive: With the cost of DVD players and even their high-def counterparts dropping daily, you might want to invest in a new disc reader and writer.
Sound Card: Have you been eyeing the 5.1 surround sound speaker system? Make sure you get a sound card that can handle it.
Video Card: Want to run a dual monitor setup, or hook up to your TV? You're probably going to need a new one of these.

Accessory and Peripheral Installation: Computers might not be half as useful as they are today without the accessories and peripherals that go along with them. Joysticks and gamepads, drawing tablets, microphones and speakers, webcams and digital cameras, barcode scanners, and printers are common types of accessories and peripherals that expand the functionality of your computer. However, sometimes they can be quite a pain to set up properly. If you need help getting the newest 12 megapixel digital camera to transfer your pictures or to set up your Drawing Tablet, or maybe just a standard inkjet printer, a Broken PC LTD technician is available to help you out, and better yet, explain the procedure to you to better expand your knowledge of the computer world.

Operating System Installation or Upgrade: Are you stuck with Vista and hate it? Maybe you're still running Windows 2000, or something even older? Want to try out a flavor or Linux? Choose Broken PC LTD to upgrade your current OS or install a new one. We'll install updates and drivers, and we'll verify that everything is running well.

Data Services

Data Recovery: It's the worst feeling in the world. Your computer has crashed, it won't turn on, and you have years of important files saved to it. But don't panic, let one of our data specialists retrieve and recover all of your important files. We support an array of formats, including FAT32, NTFS, on desktops, laptops, servers and network drives, and external drives.

Data Backup: It's always a good idea to keep backups of important files in case the drive does crash and the data is unrecoverable. We'll teach you how to properly backup your data to digital media or an external drive so you won't get caught without your important information. We include the first data backup in this service, but after we explain the process, you'll be better at it than us, since only you truly know your files and folders.

Data Clean and Removal: Are you planning on getting rid of a computer? Even if you absolutely know and trust the person you're going to give or sell it to, your old data can still be at risk due to security vulnerabilities. Let us do a full system wipe and clear all content on the hard drive disk so you can sleep soundly knowing your data cannot be retrieved from that computer any longer.

Network Services

Network Consultation: As computers come down in price and network technology expands, the number of computers in each household is constantly increasing. For users who have had multiple computers for years, linking computers together and to the Internet is not much of a problem. But if you have just bought your first additional computer, you may have no idea where to start to get the multiple computers up and running, and not only talking to each other, but every other networked computer in the world. If you ever need help with picking out network components for your local area network, contact Broken PC LTD and let us walk you through the networking process.

Network Installation: Installing a local area network, or LAN, can be tricky at times. Even in home and small office situations, there are many confusing factors in setting up a network, including the infrastructure, encryptions, dynamic and static IP addresses, and NAT, never mind setting up file sharing, print sharing, or remotely accessing any computers in the LAN. If you contact a Broken PC LTD technician, we'll set your network right the first time, and walk you through the process as well to help you learn more about the power of your computers when they work together.

Network Security: Nine years ago, the Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption was designed to thwart those trying to access your network that shouldn't be. Today, WEP can be cracked in less than 30 seconds, and black hat hackers and crackers can enter your local network, exposing important information. Broken PC LTD technicians are specially trained in networks, and have an expertise in computer security. Contact us today to find out if your network needs a security upgrade.
