In the Rainy River District, getting a computer repaired has typically meant shipping it to Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, or a big-box store — and waiting a week or more with no visibility into what’s happening to your machine. We fix computers here, in Fort Frances, with transparent pricing and honest assessments.
If your computer isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you that upfront. If it is, we’ll give you a clear quote before touching anything. We work on both personal computers and business machines, and we can help source replacement hardware locally or through our suppliers when needed.
We also handle business computer environments — need 5 laptops set up for new staff, or need a machine re-imaged and redeployed? We can handle fleet-level work for organizations across the district.
We quote based on the problem before doing any work. Diagnostics are free. Common repairs like virus removal or RAM upgrades start around $80–$150. We’ll never start work without your approval.
Most repairs are completed within 1–3 business days. Parts availability affects turnaround for hardware repairs. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Yes. We repair Windows laptops, desktops, and MacBooks. We also work on iMacs, though some Mac repairs have limitations due to Apple’s repairability design choices.
In many cases, yes. Success depends on the type of failure. We’ll assess the drive and give you an honest answer about what’s recoverable and at what cost before any work begins.
We’re based in Fort Frances. For residents of Emo, Rainy River, and the surrounding area, we can often arrange drop-off or pickup. Contact us to discuss options.
Yes. We replace cracked and broken laptop screens on most Windows laptops and MacBooks. Cost depends on the model — typical screen replacements run $200–$450 including parts and labour, with parts ordered in within a few days.
Usually yes, and usually cheaply. The most common causes are a failing hard drive (replace with SSD), not enough RAM (cheap upgrade), too many startup programs, or an old Windows install that needs to be cleaned out or reinstalled. We diagnose for free and tell you what’s worth doing.
Disconnect it from the internet, don’t enter any passwords, and bring it in. We’ll remove the infection, check what was accessed, change any compromised credentials, and lock the system down so it doesn’t happen again. If it’s a business computer, treat it as a security incident — call us first before doing anything else.
