DigitalDUDE not only handles regular, run-of-the-mill repairs and upgrades but also deals with specialty repairs like hardware modifications (special modifications and adjustments beyond factory standard), overheating repairs (when your system just seems to shut off after a while and then won’t turn back on until it cools down) and even water damage repairs (which a lot of companies will not handle).
We also do last-chance data recovery from clicking harddrives and seemingly shot flash drives. If you cant read or access your drive, we’ll gladly make an effort to see what can be done – if we’re not successful, you don’t pay.
Overheating Repairs:
If you have an older laptop or desktop computer, especially if you have a dusty house or tend to use your laptop on your bed watching movies – if your computer seems like it’s running really warm or if it starts up fun, runs for a bit and then shuts down and won’t turn on for a while, this is likely due to the fact that it is overheating. DigitalDUDE can easily fix this problem for you before it’s too late and you have to buy another machine.
Overheating repair – desktop unit: $65
Overheating repair – laptop unit: $80
Waterdamage Repairs:
Waterdamage (or liquid damage) happens when you spill something that has water in it or drop your device in something that is wet / has water in it while the device is turned on or turns on afterwards (while it is still et inside). The water and electricity together corrode the components and traces on the circuit board and short out the connections, stopping your device from working. Although DigitalDUDE is quite proficient at solving waterdamage problems, not all waterdamaged devices will yeild a successful recovery.
If you’re unsure as to whether or not it’s worth the financial risk to try and have your device fixed, consider this: To take a look at the device and try it (successful or not) is $25. If the device recovery is successful there’s an additional $25 charge. However, if the device recovery is not successful and you’ve already paid the $25 (downpayment), there might still be salvageable parts and components in the device that DigitalDUDE will easily pay you for. Also, you may have data on a drive in your laptop or phone which DigitalDUDE can still try to recover.
Waterdamage repair – laptop unit: $25 (downpayment) $25 additional on successful recovery
Waterdamage repair – television: $40 (downpayment) $30 additional on successful recovery
Waterdamage repair – smartphone: $30 (downpayment) $20 additional on successful recovery
Dust Cleaning:
Dust cleaning – laptop: $60
Dust cleaning – Desktop: $40
Non-Standard Modifications:
Sometimes you need an extra case fan added where there’s no space for an additional fan, or maybe some metal work needs to be done to help fit that awesome graphcis card you bought before measuring your case. Either way, DigitalDUDE is very creative with non-standard modifications of many different types. If you have a particular request that fits this line of work, let us know. Obviously, the pricing for this particular type of work is on an individual case by case basis.
