$55 / hour.
Most problems solved in 1 - 4 hours.
Diagnosis usually in under 1 hour.
The first thing I'll do is make an image of your system drive. This is insurance in case something goes wrong during the fix. This is extremely rare, but i protect against it anyway. This usually takes 1 hour and is NO CHARGE.
In most cases, in the 2nd hour I will have a diagnosis and estimate of cost to fix. I will abide by that estimate.
In more difficult cases, I will institute a pay-as-you go scenario, where I give you an updated estimate each hour, letting you decide whether it's worth it to continue or not. If you decide to abandon the fix, at any time, pay just $55 service call.
I will advice on whether it's worth it to repair this computer, or just replace it with a new computer. I have a free recommendation service for new laptops and PCs. I offer new PC purchase and installation and transfer from old computer for $200 + cost of PC. The cost of your new PC generally correlates directly with its life expectancy, but a well-chosen $500-$600 PC is the sweet spot. I know where that sweet spot is.
