Computer Repair Service

Some of you may be aware that my computer died over summer due to a power surge, or so I thought. I took it into a local company in Greeneville to have them look it over. I knew the power supply was fried, but I wanted to make sure that nothing else was wrong with it. I had a feeling there was something else wrong with my computer.

They called me and said that it was fixed and that it was just the power supply. I drove into Greeneville and picked it up. When I got home and hooked it up, it wouldn't power up. I called the company and asked if they powered it up after they fixed it. They said they had and that it came up. I knew this wasn't the truth, so I told them I was bringing it back in and I wanted to see them power it up while I was there.

When I got there, they hooked up my computer and powered it on and it wouldn't come on. They looked it over and said that the mother board was fried. They told me it would cost me 4 or 5 hundred dollars to fix it.

My computer was 5 + years old, so I said I would just take it home and think about what I wanted to do. They tried to sell me one of their custom built computers, but I didn't like any of them and they offered to keep my computer, but I said no. I told them I would take it home and figure out what I wanted to do.

I decided to buy a new computer, since I do a lot of work on the computer and it is how I make my living. I got a new HP computer and I just love it.

I still had my old computer sitting in the corner of my office and I couldn't stand the thought of taking it to the dump. So I thought I would donate it to a guy who works on computers. I have been seeing a sign for his services when I drove into town to run errands. It is Jean's Computer Repair Service on the Asheville Hwy.

I called him up today and spoke with him. He said he would take my computer and use it for parts. So, I dropped it off with him today. By the time I returned home, I had a voice message from him saying to call him.

I called him and long story short, my mother board was not fried, it was just a video card and they (the first place I took it) knocked one of the memory chips loose, so the computer wouldn't start up. Jean put in a new video card and put the memory in tightly and my computer started up just fine.

I could have had my computer fixed for about $100.00, instead of buying a new one. I'm happy with my new computer, but my old computer is a really good one and is worth about a $1000.00 fixed, Jean said. I don't need another computer now and I don't have room for a second computer, so someone will end up a good computer.

I would highly recommend Jean's Computer Repair Service - 423-636-8449, if you need your computer fixed. He seemed really knowledgeable and his prices are reasonable. I know some of you have been looking for someone who can work on computers. You may want to check out Jean the next time you need someone to work on your computer.

Oh, and if you need a good used computer, Jean has my old one. You can call (423-636-8449) him to purchase it. He said he would let anyone from our group buy my old computer for just the cost of parts and a new version windows software, which comes to about $225.00.
