How long does computer repair take in Clemson?

Most computer repairs at Tech Shack are completed within 24–48 hours. Simple fixes like virus removal, RAM upgrades, or software issues are often faster, while hardware repairs like screen replacements may take slightly longer depending on parts availability.

Is it worth repairing a slow or old laptop?

For most laptops under five or six years old, repair is almost always more affordable than replacement. Upgrading to an SSD or adding RAM can dramatically improve performance at a fraction of the cost of a new machine.

Can you recover files from a laptop that won't turn on?

In many cases, yes. Tech Shack performs data recovery on laptops and desktops that won't power on, as long as the storage drive itself isn't critically damaged. We'll assess the drive during the diagnostic and let you know what's recoverable.

Do you repair all laptop brands?

Yes. Tech Shack repairs Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface, and most other major laptop brands. If you're unsure whether we work on your specific model, call or message us and we'll confirm before you come in.
