I usually look for answers on the internet first.
Then I may call a friend.
Finally, if it is hardware problem, I have a technician that is very good.

My best friend is a computer engineer...bingo...they are good things to have.

Fix it myself
by triplesixes on September 1st, 2008
I go to myself, because I have taught myself much about computer repair/hardware/software installing and upgrading. I even opened up my own hobby/business of refurbishing and reselling computers. I have saved my own self hundreds of dollars, just by self on-the-job-training. So, whenever I have a computer problem, unless it is a serious motherboard issue, I just go look at myself in the mirror and say, "self, fix your computer!" And, so far, so good!

When I have computer problems I fix them. Sometimes I go to the internet to look for things I've not encountered before.
When my friends have problems, they come to me.

No one, I'm a stubborn one, except when I couldn't get this computer running I took it to my school's computer techs, free and experienced.
by FairLady on October 4th, 2008
There is a free tech. help online I use techguy.org.
If they don't help me and I am desperate I use www.plumchoice.com. It's not free online help, but they are very knowledgeable and efficient.
If we are absolutely stuck we use plumchoice.com.

We use a company in Homewood, Illinois by the name of
Homewood Computer Exchange. We had had satisfactory work done by their techicians, and they stand behind the work that they do with no hesistancy.
Their number is 708 799 5300 and the address is: 18243
Harwood Ave., Homewood, Illinois 60430. The wonderful
technician's name is Steve.
Hope this helps you.
by geek860 on September 14th, 2008
Me. If it's a problem with a component I just bought (like a router) then I call the company's tech support. I hate calling for help (mostly because of the wait times and language barriers), but sometimes it's necessary.
I also find that internet forums (found through google searches) are very helpful for odd problems. Like when my laptop was freezing every 30 seconds and dell tech support was ZERO help, a forum I found gave me the answer within 20 seconds.

My brother, he's really good with computers (I'm lucky, he saves me alot of money)
by Doggie S on September 10th, 2008
My sister.
Her work involves a lot of handling problems about computer stuff so I get a lot of help... for free :)
by user deleted on September 10th, 2008
I fix it myself. What else.
I know that others will charge me for repairing, but why to waste money, if you can learn how to fix it by yourself.
Get to know the problem, Get to know your machine, Analyze and compare, and voila! The whole day got spent, but atleast the PC works again.
But if you have Mac and it gets broken, the nightmare will begin, .. the world, .. will end...
by DixieRock on August 30th, 2008
I can usually fix it myself, if I get stuck on something, I usually go to a website which has great support for free→

If they cannot help I go to microsoft and enter my question in the proper forum.

Well, if it isn't something I can fix, and it'd have to be a pretty big issue, I'd call JML or Douggy D! :)
by Route 66Truckerman on August 28th, 2008
There's plenty of go to guys @ school that can help for $20~ $40 plus parts.
by G_tech on August 28th, 2008

ans then if I really need special help I can take to computer school where I have intructor and 3 other techs help

For parts, I usually get them online and for repairs ... me!

I will normally call Thomas who is always interested in trouble shooting computer problems. If the problems remain unresolved, I will go to the professionals.

If I just need parts, I go to http://www.geeks.com.
If I need support and have a warranty, I would call the manufacturer.
If I need support and don't have a warranty, I'd go to Google, and then to these silly answer sites. :)
by pawzisme on July 15th, 2009
I call ME!! Whey-hey ( not that it often does go wrong - it wouldn't DARE....)
by comppal4 on June 30th, 2010
I usually call Computer Palace in Los Angeles right away. I've been their customer since 1995 and I'm very satisfied with their performance. Incase you don't live near L.A. you can also give them a call because they can do remote desktop connection to repair your computers. You can call them at (310) 966-9099. www.cp4.com

by pauly on August 13th, 2009
I go to myself first. If I get stumped (it has happened) I ask a friend who is a bigger geek than I am. If he can't figure it out, I go online.
So far I've taken care of our computers, but someday, I'll get too brain dead, then I'll just stop using the darn things.
by oursong24 on July 13th, 2009
i call a coumpter tech to come out and work on mine

Here's a site that will give you a list of free online tech support:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_free_tech_support_sites.htm
by FairLady on December 6th, 2008
It depends on the problem ...
you may want to bookmark this site techguy.org.
Depending on your operating system and a browser you use you can post your question on the Forum.'
Windows Vista has Forum. Firefox has Forum. Explorer has Forum.
Just google them, and register when you find a right one. If you want e-mail me or PM, I'll give you a link.
You last resort is to use www.plumchoice.com. Example of using Plumchoice: I could not perform a System Restore on my computer. It turned out a virus in that very file tha neither anti-virus program could get rid of it. Plumchoice.com takes over your computer, and you watch them manipulating inside your computer... they deleted this virus in system restore file.

You can just ask the geek squad, they give online remotely help or they can also come to you. You can ask help at any time they are 24/7.
