My daughter's (a Johns Hopkins student) laptop charging plug broke off in the charging port the…read moreother day. She and I checked with some other local repair places, and got [phone] estimates of $99 and up, and $80 and up..."depending". She also tried the campus techies, and was told "We aren't licensed to work on Lenovo" (I was not aware a special license is needed to pull a broken plug out of a Lenovo laptop! I wonder who monitors that?! ) Today she took it to DNS Technology Group, a few blocks from campus. Fixed it in a few minutes, 25 bucks! And super-nice people, according to my daughter. So props and a 5 star rec for these guys (but be aware they have somewhat limited hours)

I went to Best Buy initially (I don't know why, maybe I was feeling particularly stupid and…read morethick-headed at the time) and was told that to repair a broken LCD on a 400 dollar laptop would cost...300 dollars. Also, they would have to mail it in to the repair center. I asked why it was so expensive, and the guy said "well, LCDs are really expensive, so the part alone is 200 dollars". I was thinking, ok, who the fuck falls for this crap from a pasty dickwad like this guy? Who would ever think an LCD screen was more than 80 bucks on amazon or ebay? This is why Best Buy is going out of business. The employees that work there are shit. The products are generally shit (unless you firmly deny geek squad protection, warranty protection, repair plans, 5 year soul sucking plans, etc), and honestly they operate on the assumption that Americans are stupid. Yo, Best Buy, we have wikipedia and google, man. Stop being so 1999. Anyway, I called up Charm City Networks, and they said "yeah the part is like 60-80 bucks, but you can buy it online and bring it in and we just charge for labor". They charged 100 bucks for labor(fair enough) and so I went in to see if it was just the LCD that had a problem. They checked the computer, fixed it within a day, and I picked it up the next day after lunch. It was as easy and painless as possible, and affordable as hell. The guys that work there are very nice and helpful, and generally will go out of their way to make sure you have a great customer experience. Everything in that last paragraph is the exact opposite of Best Buy...which is why I recommend these guys for any computer/laptop hardware repair work.

I came into PhDFix roughly a week ago after my laptops display for some reason stopped working,…read morewasn't sure why. Within 4 days he gave me a rundown on what parts needed replacement and an estimate of how much the work would cost. It was a motherboard replacement for 650 for my gaming laptop. I came to write this review because many people don't want to write positive reviews about such a large expense, that was their own fault of doing. The guy was extremely kind and listened to what I said about the laptop. He said it would take roughly a week to fix and it was done in a week and a day. No complaints. I started with a nonfunctional laptop and I walked out with a laptop that was fully functional and felt brand new. Thanks so much!

Avoid. Bait and switch, uses faulty (even visibly cracked!) replacement parts (scrounged from…read morebroken computers/phones), damages other parts of your machine in ways that aren't evident right away (replaced screen, damaged track pad somehow), voids warranty, doesn't stand by his word on anything (when something is going to be finished, total cost, type of part to be used). Just not worth it at all. First clue should have been the state of the shop. No computer repair shop should be covered in that much dust!

Sham. As an update: I have been contacted by the owner trying to give me gift cards and other things to make up for my experience if I promise to remove my review. My phone was fixed by another reputable company and I do not want anything from your store. Moreover, this is a review site where we write honest reviews of what happened in our business interactions. I trust and use Yelp myself for many different things and would hope I'm receiving honest reviews which is exactly what mine is. I am not going to get paid off by a business owner. They also have one of their friends harassing me on Yelp with multiple messages asking me to take their deal and remove my review.

this is the worst place ever! I should have guessed by the…read morename of course. So I went there to get my cracked ipod touch fixed. It still played music, I just wanted to fixed the screen. they charm you into signing the contract without reading it by making conversation while you are going over it. thennnn when I came back to pick up my Ipod, the manager brings it out to me and says okay well we were able to fix the screen but something went wrong with the mother board. I try to charge it and got nothing. I come back and tell him I was not pleased and he says "we let you keep the screen!" are you kidding me? So he gives me about $30 out of the $80 I paid them to basically break my iPod. do me a favor and just skip this place and go somewhere more legit. thanks

It was completed in a couple of days at which point we picked it up, took it home and discovered that the power button no longer worked. She returned immediately to UTX where the owner informed her that, yep it's broken and "I didn't do it". He then offered to giver her an estimate to repair it if she left it with him! So her cosmetic repair has become a disabling issue thanks to the ineptitude of UTX. Pay the extra and get it done by someone reputable who has some degree of respect for their customers and exhibits some level of responsibility for their errors.
