Router lights flashing and nothing works? We fix internet faults every day, whoever your provider is, and carry modems, routers and cables so we can sort it on the spot.
Try this first: Turn the modem router off for a minute, back on, then give it 5–10 minutes to reconnect.
Internet & WiFi help →Can't send or receive, not syncing, or emails and folders gone missing? We fix Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, Xtra and the rest – in person, or remotely anywhere in NZ.
Try this first: Keep your email address, password and mail server settings written down somewhere safe.
Call 03 666 4357 →Usually it's an old hard drive. Swapping it for a solid-state drive (SSD) is the single best upgrade you can make. Won't start at all? We find out why before we quote.
Try this first: Do a full restart (not just sleep) and let any Windows or macOS updates finish.
Laptop repairs →Endless pop-ups, a fake ‘Microsoft’ caller, or a scammer on your computer? We clean it up properly and set up protection so it doesn't happen again.
Try this first: If a scammer has had access, change your banking and email passwords from another device and call your bank.
See our services →We carry parts for many MacBook and MacBook Pro models, and can often replace screens and batteries when Apple would rather sell you a new laptop.
Try this first: Frozen? Hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a restart.
Mac repairs →Deleted something important, or the drive's died? We use professional recovery tools to get back what we can, then set up a tested backup so you're covered next time.
Try this first: Stop using the computer straight away – carrying on can overwrite what's recoverable.
Free backup check →We explain what's wrong in words that make sense, and we take every repair personally.
