How do we protect your data?

A Macbook Air from 2020 arrived at the workshop, after an update the computer was stuck on the updating screen. The data was not backed up and was very important. We recovered the files/data. We confirmed the issue was stuck MacBook update and our technicians fixed the laptop and made sure all the files were recovered.

How we fixed a stuck Macbook update

Our technicians then followed the steps to repair the installation of Mac OS Big Sur that was causing the issue. The files were 100% safe and securely recovered. We went ahead by upgrading the Macbook to the latest Apple operating system. Now the Macbook was as good as new, it was faster than ever and ready for anything. All there is left to do now is replace the files on the now refurbished computer.

Following Apple’s instructions, our computer technicians used Apple Migration Assistant to recover all the files from the external drive. This way the computer would have all important documents exactly as they were before the Macbook had any issues. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. During the recovery process, the Macbook crashed due to a software error, thankfully due to our precautions all files were completely unharmed.

Our technician contacted Apple on the customer’s behalf. Dealing with manufacturers can be a difficult and stressful process so we like to take the hassle out of that experience for our customers. After extensive discussion with Apple’s representative and an appropriate course of action decided the restoration could continue. We recovered all important data to the Macbook.

What Results can I expect?

As a result of this repair, the Macbook is running better than ever on the most modern operating system. Our customer now has access to all the latest features Apple offers and has peace of mind knowing all of his data is completely secure.

What was the issue?​

Noah came by the workshop with his daughter’s school laptop, due to an accident it was completely out of shape. Fortunately for Noah and his daughter, the information inside the laptop is safe and even better the laptop warranty was still valid. Thanks to the warranty a computer replacement was the perfect solution.

The laptop was not a candidate for repair. The screen had been destroyed and many other parts bent or broken. Due to the strange nature of the damage, the laptop was a candidate for replacement under the HP warranty program. This allowed us to source a brand new laptop at no additional cost to Noah.

Check the warranty of you HP computer

Warranty computer replacement

Before sending your laptop back to the manufacturer it is essential that you back up your files if you want to keep them. Many times it is cheaper for the manufacturer to send you a replacement rather than fix the damage to the existing laptop. That’s exactly what our computer technicians did, we made a full backup of the school work and personal files on the laptop to protect all of the data on the machine. After making the backup we sent the computer back to HP and soon enough a perfect replacement arrived.

Setting up a new computer

Now our technicians the new computer it was a simple matter of configuring the machine just how it was before. Using the backup we made we were able to restore everything from the old computer to the new one. This whole process resulted in a computer that worked far better than the old one even before it was damaged. Check out our post regarding Computers Upgraded in 15 Minutes

This outcome could not have been better. It was a fast solution and the most cost-effective way possible to get Noah up and running again with a brand new computer. At Fix My Tech we are experienced in dealing with computer warranty. Our experience allows us to move the process along very quickly to accelerate the replacement of your computer.

Please do not hesitate to contact us or come by the workshop if you want to check if warranty computer replacement is an option for you, or if you have any IT concerns at all.

    A laptop was brought in that was not booting into windows. The drive was diagnosed as faulty and an upgrade to a solid state drive was recommended.

    When a computer reads data from a hard drive it uses technology similar to any record, CD or DVD player. It is limited by the rotation speed of the platters to read and write from the disc that is spinning. Due to this moving part it uses a large amount of power and is fragile to shocks. One way that hard drives have improved over time is by increasing the RPM they spin at, a standard drive will run at 5400RPM, some hard drives will be labelled as “green” or “power saving” meaning that they operate at a lower RPM.

    A solid state drive uses circuitry to store data and is has no moving parts. As it has no moving parts and doesn’t require a spinning disc it is less fragile to shocks. While an SSD upgrade doesn’t improve the clock speed of a computer, it means that the data can be read more rapidly allowing shorter boot, program and application launch times. An average improvement is about 1000% increase in speed of reading.

    The upgrade for the laptop brought in was successful and the user’s data was migrated to the new drive. The laptop is faster than it was out of the shop, but set up how the user likes it.
