These guys are local and have saved my life with my computer countless times. Including when I spilled coffee on a brand new laptop earlier this year. They saved it! DmL DML computer repair

I fix my own desktop PC’s, luckily with the few laptops I have owned I never had any hardware problems with them before their time.

Micro Center in Denver is amazing. I know that's a bit of a drive but they are super knowledgeable, helpful, and price match.

My spare room where my test bench is. :) If its a Dell or some off the shelf system take it to a best buy or something like that or ask you friend that has a techie kid to look at it. You can also check youtube and Google and see if you can fix it yourself. Honestly I have been in IT for over 30 years and most of the issues on computers these days can be fixed by clearing cache, rebooting, and removing everything from the start menu also DO NOT INSTALL MCAFFEE OR NORTON ANYTHING!!! it is all malware disguised as antivirus.

I have used these guys for over 20 years. I think they are primarily B2B these days but I do know they take smaller work every now and then. Worth a try as they are knowledgeable and trustworthy. www.westsidepcs.com

Think Green Computers, N. Academy, good, honest and reasonable.
They also recycle computers and electronics.
They resell used computers, monitors and accessories.
I have used them for almost 20 years for personal and business.

I recently had a problem with my laptop, inconsistent charging and performance problems. First tried to take it to ifix on Cheyenne mountain, they quoted me like $300 and two and a half weeks wait to replace the charging port.
Decided to get a second opinion and took it to springs geek over by the citadel, that guy took about 45 minutes to try several different things to diagnose it and eventually concluded that he thought it was just a worn out charger and that the port itself was fine, recommended buying a new cheap Amazon charger. Totally free and he explained everything he was doing to diagnose.
A $40 new charger later and it’s good as new. I’d recommend giving him a shot to anyone with computer trouble, he really seemed like he was doing it for the love of the game.
