Laptop Fixer

David saved the day!!! Dropped my laptop and David replaced the exact screen and had it up and running in 2 days (would have been 1 but had to order the exact screen). He is fair, well priced and very knowledgeable about computers. Anyone in need of laptop/​computer repair needs to call David and give him a shot! I wont go to anyone else after my experience. Thanks David

The hinges on my Dell Latitude were shot, and I did a web search for a local San Diego repair business. Picked up the phone and called the Laptop Fixer (a.k.a. David). His M.O. of meeting outside his PB apartment to drop off the computer was some cause for concern, but Unilocal reviews were excellent, so I decided to take a chance. Obviously a storefront would be preferable, but then his prices would undoubtedly be higher.
Long story short, David did an excellent repair job, the hinges are good-​as-​new, and I received my laptop back in less than 24 hours, for a reasonable price. Throughout the process, David was personable, forthright, and helpful — sending me text messages to keep me updated — which put my mind at ease about the somewhat odd manner he does business. All-​in-​all, this experience with the «Laptop Fixer» was very positive, and I recommend his services to others.

Ok so I was looking for someone to restore my dad’s MacBook Air because he was selling it to me and I wanted it to be back to factory settings and have everything deleted. So I called around every place I could find and they all told me the same thing, they would charge $ 140 or more plus it would take two to three days to get the laptop back and I didn’t want to wait. So then I went on Unilocal and found this awesome man and contacted him even though his description said he didn’t usually work with apple products. I called and told him what I needed and he said he was able to do it. It only took him 2 – 3 hours to finish it and he did the job for a reasonable price. I will definitely be contacting him more if I need to fix anything else. Thank you so much! You’re the best!

David replaced a computer fan in my laptop that had gone bad. He found a good deal on the replacement part, and the price for his time was very reasonable. He went beyond the basics and gave me great service. And he’s a friendly guy and great to deal with. I’m certain his work has added life to the computer and saved me from having to buy a new system. Highly recommended.

I spilled coffee on my laptop this morning but didn’t have time to mess with it other than to dry it off with a towel and flip it over to let it drain. I got home from work and noticed that certain keys on my keyboard weren’t working now. I was pretty worried, especially that the coffee would eventually get to the circuit board or whatever and ruin my laptop. I found David from Laptop Fixer on Unilocal.As the reviews say, he works out of his apartment. Don’t let this sway you on the quality of the work. This guy not only answered my call right away, but he agreed to meet me immediately. He even inspected it for free and consulted me before moving forward. He have me 2 options and recommended the cheaper one, which I find incredible. He had it fixed within 3 hours! All for $ 50. Unreal. Great guy, great service!

It’s a year later, and I still love me some David the Laptop Fixer. We’ve gone through several other laptop iterations and he’s still the best, most honest person I’ve dealt with in the realm of computers. I often learn something because he takes the time to explain it, and I trust him pretty much implicitly.

Extremely detail oriented, willing to work on short notice, and overall a nice guy. Seems like he really enjoys what he does. Others have noted the slightly unconventional business location, but I am happy to go wherever needed to find the rare good computer tech.

My Problem: All of a sudden, my laptop became slow and it could not connect to the internet browser. I was panicking because I’m not my finals at UCSD. Anyway, my laptop was not working properly and also I need to fix my battery because it would not without unless it was plugged. If it was not plugged then it would mean the laptop would just turn off.
First Impression: I was wondering why on Unilocal this place had the best reviews. So, I gave it a shot and called David, who is the only one working for this business. Through the phone call, I was sure that I can trust David. However, when I did go to his place with the policy that he has on how to meet his customers, it was, needlessly to say, pretty shady at first especially because I went at night. But again when I talked with David I knew nothing was shady and it was straight up business.
Results: My laptop is completely fixed and super fast because of the tune-​up. Also, my battery is fixed by a new battery. It was done in a perfectly professional manner. Also, I received my laptop the next day. It was amazed and superbly happy of the results.
Last comments: If you need a laptop repair of any sort, I highly recommend David. He does it in real reasonable prices with great reasons why there is a problem. He is great in explaining and helping in understanding the situation and how to solve it. Also, this is my first Unilocal review. The service was so amazing that I had to give a review. Awesome. Thank you, David!

I called around looking for someone to take the pictures off my old broken laptop & was so happy I found David. His prices are very reasonable and he fixes your computer problems promptly.
I appreciated his technical knowledge and although he gave me hope that my old Dell that conked out was possibly fixable, I was just glad to get all my vacay pics off it. Because David does not have much overhead, he can repair bum electronics and not charge you an arm and a leg. Give David a call & see for yourself. 5 Unilocal STARS!

The Set-​up: The victim (My ASUS G53sx) experienced blunt force trauma to the DC power-​jack region of the torso. The victim is in critical condition, and requires immediate technical assistance.
The Team: David, also known professionally as the «Laptop Fixer,» and myself, known informally as «The Customer.»
The Job: Replace my broken DC power-​jack with one that is slightly less mortally wounded, and get to soldering.
Debrief: After less than a day, I can report that the victim (My Asus G53sx) is in excellent condition, both physically and mentally.
(On a more serious note, I spoke to David over the phone on Monday and explained my laptop’s damage. He said that, while he could do the work, it may be better to go elsewhere as my laptop’s model is a little cumbersome. After speaking to several other businesses, I believed David’s technical knowledge and willingness to refer me elsewhere made him ideal for this job. I gave him my laptop on Tuesday evening, and got a text the next afternoon that it was fixed and ready to be picked up. He even dusted the interior of my admittedly derelict laptop and checked my AC adapter for me. A stand-​up guy, and the consummate professional).

David was absolutely amazing! He worked fast and was cheaper than any of my local options! I will definitely be returning in the future!
Thanks again!

I recently got a new laptop, so I wanted to turn my old laptop into a machine to use mainly for surfing the web, and transmitting Internet video to my TV. That’s why I took my computer to David, the Laptop Fixer.
For a very reasonable price, David dropped a brand-​new solid state drive into my old laptop. Now, it starts up and runs quicker than it did when I first bought it. MS Word, Firefox, Chrome, all start up faster than they ever have. He even transformed my old laptop’s hard drive into an external drive. I highly recommend David’s services for anyone who appreciates value, expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Following up: I’ve gotten the computer back from David and it’s working beautifully. He did everything in a timely manner (less than a week) and was so helpful. He included information on how to maintain the computer and was very thorough.
He is true to his word and his prices are VERYYY reasonable.
Impressed and pleased with David. Definitely recommend him!

Thank you David! A truly satisfied customer right here!
What happened was my computers power supply got disconnected without my battery on at the time I was starting up my Windows. This lead to corrupting a Windows file. After multiple troubleshooting I found out it had a blue screen error saying something like this
stop x0000: UNMOUNTABLE_​BOOT_​VOLUME
Now I could’ve tried to fix it my self after seeing Youtube videos on how to fix the problem, but I just couldnt risk losing any files cuz my laptop had my life in it
Thanks to Unilocal I was able to find some1 who is affordable, reliable, and fast. I was so close to bringing my laptop to the usual computer repair shop, but I noticed most places were over $ 89
David was great and he responds fast, he worked with my availability and was willing to go beyond his business hours to give me back my laptop. He told me the problems and gave me his price, after I picked it up he showed me and explained to me what went wrong. He also gave me advice about my laptop, hard drive, and even a way to fix my taped up laptop charger
He explained that he had to do a lil more work to make sure my hard drive was in great working condition but he said he would still only charge me $ 40. I can definitely see that hes an honest man so I couldn’t help but tip him more after

David is a knowledgeable, skilled tech and was able to fix me up in one day! A Friday in fact. Unbelievable. Especially since he had to totally dismantle my Dell laptop. He was prompt, honest and went the extra mile to ensure I did not have future problems.
He took the time to show me what was going on inside my computer.

David was great. As a result of a corruption during a Windows update, my laptop kept failing to start up. I felt so helpless. something you can probably relate to too if you are reading this and your laptop needs repair. I needed someone to fix this for me ASAP on a Friday evening, which seemed SO impossible until I came across David on Unilocal.
Considering his availability and great reviews, I gave it a shot. I emailed him about my problem and he responded pretty quickly. Communicating with him was actually really easy throughout the entire process. We met up, I dropped off my laptop and then killed time around PB until he was done. While I waited, he also texted me updates. In less than an hour, it was done! I was so happy that he was able to fix it.
I don’t think anyone else could have been as honest, quick and knowledgeable as David for the fair price he had, as well as the availability he offers. You can trust this guy with your laptop!

I found Dave on Unilocal — he is as fantastic as everybody else has said. His prices are fair and his service is excellent. I am so happy to have my laptop fixed, with very little down time.
Dave also did some maintenance on my laptop, for no extra charge, for which I’m extremely grateful. Last night, I stupidly downloaded some malware that took over my browsers — I literally couldn’t get on the Internet. Any browser I tried to use notified me that I had all kinds of viruses and keyloggers that could steal my identify and credit cards… and I needed software that cost $ 59 to fix it. These messages looked like they were coming from Microsoft Security Essentials, but I knew it was wrong because I couldn’t override the messages. There was an option to click «do not fix, not recommended» but that option didn’t work.
I ran the anti-​virus software Dave had given me for free (Avira), which said the computer was clean. And then I restored Windows to the restoration point Dave had set up — and everything went back to normal, without no loss of any files.

THANK YOU DAVID!
On the same day my laptop and phone crashed! After contemplating suicide, I found David on Unilocal,who lives about 5 minutes away from me, and asked him to help me out. He took my computer right away (a laptop) and within the hour called me to tell me he had diagnosed the problem. And the best news is he had been able to save all my files and restore my computer back to working order.
After the initial problem, he went above and beyond to seek resolutions to other issues he discovered with my computer and now that I have the laptop back it is working like brand new. He was efficient, helpful and friendly, and most of all affordable. I paid $ 90 for virus removal, installation of virus protector and just an overall cleaning out of all the unnecessary crap that accumulates on an inexperienced user’s computer.
I would highly recommend him anyone and I will certainly be going back to him, with any other issues I have. I only wish I had known about David years ago!

Before I met David, I had emailed him and asked if he thought it was worth it to update my laptop. He provided me with my options and recommended a few things. At first I was interested in upgrading both the hard drive and the processor, but he informed me that first I should upgrade the hard drive and, if needed, go ahead and upgrade the processor later.
Solid state hard drives are still pricey these days, but David was able to find me a deal online. Nobody I have done business with before has ever let me know where I can find a deal on a product, so I was very impressed.
After meeting David and handing over my laptop, he informed me, throughout the upgrading process, of some options. For example, he informed me of the different routes that are available in regards to transferring the data from the old hard drive to the new one.
All in all, David was very helpful and I would recommend him to anybody that is having an issue with his or her computer or laptop.

My little laptop finally keeled over & died. Or so I thought !
My charger port shorted out and was no longer working so I asked my best friend, Google, for help. After learning that it required ~fancy things that I had no business attempting like soldering (clumsy people should not handle hot metals), I called a couple of computer repair services. The first 3 people told me it would cost ~$ 150. YEESH. I almost decided it wasn’t worth it & thought about begrudgingly handing my money to Apple for a new iPad until I called David !
Instead of giving me an outrageous price right off the bat, he asked what model my laptop was first so he could do research on the problem. He discovered that my model required no soldering & had a simple, more efficient way of fixing it. Not only did his service cost half as less as everyone else, he went out of his way to take pictures of the inside of my laptop to show me what he was doing, & explained to me each step of his process for fixing my little baby.
David is professional, honest & fair — definitely someone you can trust with your laptop. If I ever have problems he will be the first person I call !
