Ever wonder what is growing in your laptop? Surprisingly defective batteries can swell, sometimes leak or in very few cases explode! If you notice warping get it to a service technician soon. In this case we just removed the battery without replacing it as this particular model of battery has a history of failure.

Interesting reading for those on the Mac market. Or ask us and we'll help you with your choice.

Not quite but close.... Or when we repair your computer! Happy Labour Day Everyone

This computer was previously worked on before coming to us. Can you identify part of the problem?

Happy Canada Day everyone. 2020 has been an incredibly challenging year. However it has also brought out the best in people. Our strength, our tenacity and our dedication to each other. Thank you Canada.

Happy Mother’s Day to all! Be sure to call today.

Maintaining your connection to the internet and the outside world is critical. We're here to help.

We are proud members of the BBT and will be completing this survey. If you are a fellow business in our community (members or not), please take the time to fill this out. It will help our entire community.

We have a young family, so we understand the concern everyone is feeling these days. The announcement yesterday of the schools closing until April 6th has caught us off guard too! However we also know that it's important that we all do what needs to be done to protect our communities and those most at risk. This is where "social distancing" comes in. If we all do what is described in this video, we'll all be that much better off. Feel free to tag or share this so that everyone can do their part. Stay healthy everyone.

Working with a lot of people? If you can't find it on the shelves you can make your own.

Happy Family Day! From our family to yours.

Sometimes even the experts get stumped and we will admit this to our clients when delays happen. This PC has been with us for 3 days now and we finally worked it out. Never give up and don't be affraid to ask others what they think.

"Trending" is an internet term for something that is being widely shared and talked about online. It's "gone viral". Don't confuse "trending" with an actual trend. A trend is something that people are actually doing, purchasing, taking advantage of, or participating in. It's a subtle, but important difference! A story may be "trending" due to being the newest, hottest thing! Or because it's sensational, eye catching, absurd, interesting or concerning (and so on). The fact t...hat it's ridiculous may be the very reason it is trending. It has nothing to do with being factual, realistic, accurate or actual participation. The "halo eyebrow" was trending. Have you actually SEEN anyone doing this that wasn't simply doing it to appear online? Anyone at the bank? Walking to work? While having lunch? Out on the town? NO!! Consider this an extension of recognizing a photoshopped image or inflammatory articles intended to incite a reaction rather than report facts. Some trends are trending, some are not. View "trending" articles or photos with a grain of salt. See more

Happy New Year everyone! What comes along with the new year? New policies! If you're a parent whose children watch YouTube, there are changes coming to their viewing experience. "Starting today, we will no longer serve personalized ads or support features such as comments, Stories, live chat, notification bell, and others on videos designated made for kids." If you're a YouTuber who creates content for kids - new policies came into force today.

A big move by Twitter. Will Facebook follow suit?

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
