Computer repairin Nantes

Laptops and desktops, running Windows or Linux. Hardware fault, software fault, or a problem nobody can put a name to: I diagnose it, you get a quote, and I touch nothing before you agree.

  • Individuals and freelancers
  • Windows and Linux
  • Quote before any work

2 bis rue des Bons Français, 44000 Nantes. I do not travel to your home.

What I repair

Laptops and desktops, running Windows or Linux. Repair work only: I sell neither computers nor parts.

Hardware fault

The machine won't start, overheats, gets noisy, took a spill, or has a cracked screen or hinge: I find the failing part and replace it.

  • The computer won't start
  • Cracked screen
  • Broken hinge
  • Liquid spilled on the machine
  • It runs far too hot
  • The fan has become noisy

Software fault

A system that crawls, crashes or won't boot, malware, broken drivers or updates: repair in place, or a clean reinstall of Windows or your Linux distribution.

  • Installing or reinstalling Windows
  • Installing Linux
  • Slow machine, crashes, blue screens
  • Removing viruses and unwanted software

Parts replacement

Moving to an SSD, adding memory, replacing a battery, a keyboard or a fan. You get several more years of use for the price of one part.

  • Swapping a hard drive for an SSD
  • Adding RAM
  • Battery, keyboard, fan

Data recovery

Failed drive, a machine that won't boot again, accidental deletion: I extract and hand back your files whenever it is technically possible.

  • Recovering data from a dead computer
  • Backup before a reinstall
  • Transfer to a new machine

Unidentified fault

You have no idea where the problem comes from: I diagnose it before doing anything, and you get a quote before I touch a thing.

  • Odd behaviour that is hard to describe
  • Intermittent fault
  • Second opinion after another repairer

What I don't do

Better said upfront — it saves us both a trip.

  • Macs: I only repair PCs running Windows and Linux
  • House calls: repairs happen at the workshop, by appointment
  • Selling computers, parts or peripherals: I only do repair work
  • Building a desktop from parts you supply
  • Companies: I work with individuals and freelancers

By handing me a repair, you accept these three points

  1. 1

    The device is yours

    I work on the basis that the equipment you hand me belongs to you. If it does not, and its owner was not informed, I cannot be held responsible for the changes made to it.

  2. 2

    Equipment not collected within 30 days

    If a device stays with me uncollected, I try to reach you for 30 days. After that I stop chasing and the device is given away, sold or stripped for parts: it can no longer be recovered. My storage space is limited.

  3. 3

    Your old data kept for 30 days

    When a drive is replaced or data recovered, I keep your old data for 30 days. If something goes wrong with the new drive within that window, I can hand it back. After that it is deleted and destroyed for good, to protect your privacy.

Get in touch

By appointment. Describe the fault over WhatsApp or give me a call, and we'll agree a slot for you to drop the machine off.
