Some software will require you to re-activate when changing disks. We have found Microsoft Office requires you to re-activate your license. Please make sure you have your license available, or let us know you are able to re-activate or re-install if needed.

      My iPhone 12 was stuck on the Apple logo, Apple store told me I'd need to do a full restore which would wipe my data, or go somewhere and try to recover the data first.

    KC was basically able to fix why my phone was not rebooting, and was able to get my phone up and running. I had all my data, and did not need to do a full restore. Their price was very reasonable. While he did not have to do a full data recovery, I had called some of those places (since this is what Apple told me I would need to do if I didn't want to lose my data) and they are VERY expensive, so I'm definitely glad I didn't have to go that route.

    Overall, I'm so thankful I found this place and had a great experience with them.

      Yama is very knowledgeable, the repair was very quick. Apple had refused to repair it and my iPad was only a little over 2 years old. Now it is like new. He was a pleasure to do business with

  •   I spilled coffee (a lot) on my laptop keyboard this morning, days before a 2-week business trip where I need to bring it with me. I turned it upside down to drained it as much as I could, then called Pleasanton Computer repair as soon as they opened, (by now it's been 90 minutes since the spill, and the touchpad had stopped working). KC said to bring it in, the sooner the better, as coffee contains certain elements that can cause corrosion. Ugh. Forty minutes later I handed the laptop over to KC, who said he'd call me with an update, and that I have to leave there for a couple of days. Four hours later, he called and said he'd taken the whole thing apart, dried it, cleaned it, and got the touchpad working...and it was good to go. (He didn't promise there wouldn't be future complications, but was pretty confident there shouldn't be). I'm already back home working. So happy, so grateful. Thank you KC!!!

      I had problems with my desktop computer. After I rebooted the computer I could not open Excel and Word application anymore.
    Based on a recommendation from a good friend of our I called up a guy in Dublin. (See separate review). After almost two weeks the guy didn't fix the problem.
    I Googled and found Pleasanton Computer Repair. I called them on Thursday. I made an appointment for Monday. I brought the computer to them on Monday morning. In the afternoon I received a call from a technician and the problem was solved. I picked up the computer again on Tuesday (24 hours after drop off).
    Very happy with their service. Very responsive. Will definitely use them again and would recommend them.

      Very professional work and ethics. My PC just refused to turn on. I took it in on a Monday afternoon and KC signed me in and sent me a full diagnosis in a couple of days. Besides the power supply fubar they also verified that the boot drive is only 8% health. Two days after I got my PC back with new SSD and power supply. They have a good ticketing system that provides the elaboration of the diagnosis and updates on the repair. Very frictionless and very methodical. Super loved this place specially since I am an engineer myself. And best part I get to support a local town business. Highly recommend this place.
