Many small businesses run with inadequate or no backups of their critical data not to mention a lot of home users, is you data stored in only one place? is there a regular backup happening? Are you relying on automation? Does anyone ever check the automation to make sure it’s still actually working? imagine if you suddenly lost all of your data due to a single hard drive failure. Avoiding such situations does not need to be expensive, call today for a free audit of your current infrastructure, quotes and advice are also free.

Prevention is better than the cure?

Is your computer healthy? It is amazing, especially in rural areas how fast your computers and other appliances can collect dust from the air and slowly choke to death. Overheating is a major cause of failures in a range of technology, preventative maintenance once every 6-12 months will in most cases extend the life span of your hardware.

Are you protected?  With the ever changing world of online threats ranging from the humble old virus, to newer kinds of threats such as irritating spyware, adware and PUP's (potentially unwanted software). or the more sinister malware, rootkits, and ever evolving ransomware threats. Do you have a proper rotation of backup drives? redundant backups? offsite backup? and offline backup?

Achieving all three need not be expensive, but your business or corporation suffering complete data loss probably would be.

If your system is running slow and you think you might be infected, it might be all low level threats simply slowing everything down or it might be something far worse, compromising your personal data and logging every key stroke you make. Low level threats can open the door allowing more sinister threats to get in more easily.

• Games Console repairs old and new. Depends on the nature of the fault, if it’s fixable I will fix it.

• Tablets, some are harder to find service info and parts for but if it’s repairable I will probably figure it out.

• Phones repairs, I’m only just getting into the mad world of phone repairs, I don’t keep things like batteries or screens in stock generally, mostly just the parts to repair dead main boards to facilitate data recovery etc. Some phones like HTC there is no service info available at all, I will still have a look at these for data recovery purposes etc. just be aware chances are lower depending on how repairable some devices are.

• Small Electronics like DVD players and TV’s, depends on the nature of the fault. A lot of faults are cheap to fix but things like replacement screens for TV’s are pretty much 100% always not obtainable as new parts or cost more than a new TV.

Sometimes hardware is not worth fixing or costs more than new hardware to fix. I have endeavored to make my business as close to zero waste as possible by breaking down electronics waste into it’s raw materials, Turn the plastic/rubber into 3D Printing Filament, separate the metals and hand them in for recycling and deposit batteries into collection points where large scale e-waste processors will deal with them.

Some devices are so easily fixed it is a shame they are typically discarded or worth far more than they might seem as spare parts don't throw it away, ask Freelance Tech, at the very least I can help you make sure it is properly disposed of.

I will pay $50 each for laptops with broken screens, failed hard drives or need repair of some kind that the owner doesn’t want to pay to refurbish.
