Popular PC Repair Services in Sewanee
Fast Laptop Screen Repair
Cracked or flickering display? We source compatible panels and replace most screens quickly, so you’re not stuck squinting through a spider-web screen. For deeper faults, our pc repair checks hinges, cables, and the GPU before we swap parts. Learn more: Laptop Screen Repair.
Blue Screen & Crash Fixes
If your PC freezes during mid‑paper or payroll, our PC repair traces the root cause — drivers, RAM, storage, or overheating — and stabilize your system. Start here: Blue Screen Fix and PC Fan Services for cooling issues.
Virus & Malware Removal
Pop‑ups, redirects, and suspicious logins are more than annoying — they’re risky. We clean infections, harden your system, and set up real‑time protection. See Virus Removal and follow up with PC Tune‑Up for lasting speed. For policies that align with best‑practice frameworks, we can map protections to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 so your safeguards aren’t guesswork.
Data Backup & Transfer
Moving to a new machine or protecting projects? We set up automated, encrypted backups and safe migrations. Details: Data Backup & Transfer.
Hardware Repairs & Upgrades
From Motherboard Repair to RAM Services and Laptop Battery replacements, we extend device life and boost performance. Considering a power move? Explore Replacements & Upgrades or our Custom Desktop Builds for research, creative work, or gaming.

Fans roaring or PC randomly shutting down? We fix failing drives and unstable power. Check Hard Drive Repair and Power Supply.
Business IT for Sewanee Organizations
Small offices, nonprofits, and local shops need reliable systems without enterprise bloat. We deliver right‑sized solutions that keep day‑to‑day work smooth, protect your data, and scale when your team grows.
From onboarding to device retirement, we document standards and handle the queue so your team isn’t stuck googling fixes. Expect asset tracking, software deployments, and user support with clear SLAs. See our Computer Repair Services for break‑fix needs, and review IT Hardware Support if you want lifecycle planning (procurement, imaging, warranty tracking).
Older buildings and metal structures can cause dead zones. We survey your space, position access points, segment guest traffic, and enable secure remote access. Cabling, switch configuration, and VPN/MFA are included as needed. Start with Networking to stabilize connectivity for calls, POS terminals, and cloud apps.
We set practical guardrails: endpoint protection, patching cadences, role‑based access, phishing training, and incident playbooks. Explore Cybersecurity Solutions to lock down logins and sensitive files.
For retail and hospitality, we install and troubleshoot terminals, barcode scanners, label printers, and receipt printers—plus networked multi‑function devices for scanning to email or cloud storage. See Effective POS Solutions for setup options, and Printer Setup if your current gear keeps jamming at the worst time.
If you’ve outgrown a single PC acting as a “server,” we’ll right‑size your stack: on‑prem Windows/Linux servers, NAS, or hybrid cloud—monitored for performance and security. We plan backups with restore‑time objectives you can live with, then test restores so you know it works. Visit IT Infrastructure Management Services for monitoring and escalation paths.
Some teams prefer a one‑time hardening sprint; others want ongoing coverage with monthly reporting. We’re flexible and propose the leanest path to stability before any add‑ons.
Compliance & Regulated Industries (HIPAA‑aware)
Healthcare, legal, accounting, and nonprofits in Sewanee often need stronger controls without enterprise red tape. We implement MFA, least‑privilege access, secure backup/retention policies, and patch baselines, and we can map safeguards to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 for clarity. We don’t claim HIPAA certification; instead, we help you apply reasonable, documented controls and user training so audits aren’t scary.

Local Tips for Sewanee Users
Sewanee’s mix of historic homes and modern builds can mean split‑level Wi‑Fi dead zones and inconsistent power. A mesh system plus basic power conditioning protects gear and stabilizes calls and classes. If you move between campus and home offices, we can configure profiles so your laptop picks the best network automatically (and keeps printers happy).
Students: before midterms, run a health check — temps, storage health, and OS updates. If your system is aging, Processor/CPU Services or a storage upgrade can be a grade‑saving boost.
