Hey, My name is Charles. I've been elbows-deep in computer guts for about 20 years now. I'm the guy friends and family call when they click on a weird email, or when the computer starts making a sound like a lawnmower.
I'm not a big company. I'm just one person who actually likes untangling this stuff. If I can fix it without you buying a new part, I will. If you need a new part, I'll tell you exactly why and where to get the best price.
Here's the kind of stuff I handle basically every day:
Building & Fixing Computers:
The "Slow Computer" Fix: 90% of the time this is a dying hard drive. I swap in an SSD and it feels like a brand new machine for a quarter of the price.
Virus/Malware Cleanup: I dig out the stubborn junk that free scanners miss.
Blue Screen Crashes / Random Shutdowns: I actually read the error codes and figure out if it's bad RAM, a hot CPU, or just a driver throwing a tantrum.
Custom Builds: You want a gaming PC? A quiet office machine? I'll put together a parts list with you and build it clean. No wires everywhere.
Software Stuff:
Windows Reinstall: Clean slate. I back up your pictures/docs first.
Linux: I know this is weird to put on Craigslist, but yes, I can install Ubuntu, Mint, or whatever. If you're sick of Windows 11 ads in your start menu, hit me up.
Phone Stuff (Because why not):
Cracked Screens: iPhone or Samsung. I've got a steady hand and a hot plate. It'll look right.
Batteries: If your phone dies at 30%, let's swap that battery so you're not chained to a wall outlet.
I'll tell you if it's a $50 fix or a $500 fix before I do anything.
How this works:
Text me at show contact info
. Tell me what's going wrong. I'll give you a ballpark idea of cost. If it sounds good, we meet up. I'm in Stockton but I can travel a bit.
Cash or Zelle works.
Thanks for reading the ad. Text is best because I'm probably holding a screwdriver.
