We are an elderly couple and we own two older Mac desktop computers. These computers contain many documents, photographs, videos, and music that we had been unable to access for years. Daniel came to our home and explained how he might be able to transfer all of our material to a new external hard drive. So as not to give us false hope, he told us that sometimes older files are unable to transfer to newer devices because of incompatible formats but that he thought there was a good chance he would be successful. We felt Daniel's fees were reasonable and decided to give it a try. Three days later, we got the surprise of our lives. Daniel found a way to recapture the words, photos and music that are so precious to us. He also taught us how to access the material to print out/view/and listen to on our new computer. We are so delighted to see old photographs again, listen to favorite music from the 1950s through the 1970s, and hear the voices of our parents who we recorded many years ago. Daniel's service includes picking up and returning the computers. He also showed us how to label things correctly, create new files, and adjust the audio properly. We cannot recommend him more highly. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a very kind person. Daniel, you're the best!! Linda & Charles Kraus El Cerrito read more

Went to Daniel to fix a broken hinge on my laptop. He did a fantastic job. His pricing was honest and reasonable, he was pleasantly communicative, and worked quickly. He was modest about the fix he made, being sure to not over-promise on the results. read more

My PC wouldn't boot to Windows and I thought It was my GPU due to my monitors not receiving signal, but my motherboard also couldn't output a signal, so I was perplexed. I reached out to Daniel and he told me to bring it over, and in less than two days he was able to diagnose the problem (dead OS hard drive) and was able to save my portfolio project files on my other drives. Daniel is very professional, quick, reasonably priced, and goes straight to the point. I recommend his services wholeheartedly. read more

He built my website years ago. I like what he did. My computer crashed. He fixed it inexpensively. He is thorough. read more

I had some old external backup drives that were acting funky. Daniel took a look at them and gave me a very insightful analysis of what was going on and what it would cost to recover the data. No tricks. No gimmicks. Just honest knowledgeable assessment. Very pleased with his service. read more

My Lenovo desktop power supply went out. Got a replacement at reasonable price and no hassle.

I actually found Daniel online and then came straight to Yelp to see what consumers say about him. Although he doesn't have many reviews I can say from experience that he was prompt in replying, and he asked many questions during our telephone consultation. I'm right in the middle of a busy season and it took me longer than I had anticipated to get my machine to him. I'm so glad I finally got it in and almost immediately after dropping it off, he assured me he started working and had already found issues. He had many recommendations and after taking my project on, I was not sure how much everything would cost! I was very pleased not only with the final price but also impressed that he had my computer for only a day and a half. And he did everything I asked for and more! Although I'm very happy with how he helped me I see now why he has recommended that I install a new hard drive since my iMac is from 2010! We are ordering the drive soon and I look forward to yet another transformation! Very nice gentle and professional and I fell I can totally trust him and I do! Highly recommended! read more

Daniel Computer - My babies when I brought them home from Daniel's! - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Got the dreaded warning the failure of my hard drive was imminent and used Yelp to find someone to help. I am very glad I found Daniel. He came and picked up my computer and had it back in a couple of days with a new hard drive and all my data and applications saved! Very reasonable price as well. read more

We have had Daniel install all new software and clear up many of our problems. He was great! Very honest, dependable, and forthcoming about all the problems. I highly recommend him! And his rates were very reasonable also. Don't know what happened, but this is Gail B. in El Sobrante. read more

Daniel has fixed my computer three times in the past year (all for different reasons). Each time he has properly diagnosed the issue and made the repair in record time- same day and even within the hour when possible. I know people often talk about great pricing in general terms, but his prices are incredibly reasonable and he takes great care of his customers. Take for example the most recent time when my computer would not turn on after the recent winds and storms that hit the Bay Area. He diagnosed that the plug had lost its charge and the battery had died as well. He charged me only half an hour to diagnose and fix this and said if I choose to replace the battery he would charge the other half an hour for the fix. After about 10 days of testing to make sure my computer is still working well enough to make that a worthwhile investment, I reached out to him and he honored that agreement and made the second fix within an hour. Wonderful service, honorable man. Very highly recommended! read more

My trusty Lenovo X260 laptop started showing me the blue screen of death. I tried every possible recovery method known to humankind, but it became clear the SSD was at fault (unusual but true). After a few hours of useless tinkering, I decided to call upon the services of Daniel, based on his five-star Yelp rating. He did not disappoint, and fixed the X260 in one hour flat, at a rate that defied expectations, in a good way. He also took the time to explain what had gone wrong with the SSD drive, what he had replaced it with and what to expect. Impeccable, friendly, and expert service. read more

Daniel not only knows his stuff, he explains things so the options are easy to understand. He upgraded my laptop from windows 8.1 to 10, provided an extra back-up of my files (I also have them backed up in the cloud), and educated me about whether I really needed to upgrate certain software. I also appreciated his frequent updates to me and very reasonable rates! read more

Excellent....... knowledgeable expertise in computers and very great pricing. Daniel knows his Apple computers, mine was not turning on. My computer was running so slow. I thought it was dying on me since its an old 2011 version. Now, it's like brand new. Also he gave me a free hard drive to back up my photos. Excellent teacher an educated me on how to keep my computer running smoothly. I would never take my computers anywhere else now. Most of all you can trust him. read more

Daniel fixed my son's PS4, very please w/his service.

My Macbook Pro was not turning on at all, despite having properly shutting it down.I tried some easy troubleshooting steps but nothing was working. So I took it to Geek Squad, they didn't want to mess with it because it was an Apple, they told me to take it to Apple. So I took to Apple, they do the same troubling steps I did and even reset the battery, still not working. Apple then informed me I would need to pay $475 to determine what went wrong and fix it. F to the no, I can buy an HP for that much, but not wanting to give up hope I took it to Daniel, he within a few minutes with his magic finger. Thanks so much Daniel! Not only is my laptop working again but because YOU were able to fix it I won a bet with my BF who assumed I fried the motherboard, which I obviously did not. read more

Technical expertise. Knowledgeable, communicative, fair pricing, swift. Daniel knows his trade well.

Amazing . Came to Daniel cause my custom build computer was crashing when I was trying to install Windows 10. I couldn't figure out what was wrong . All new parts from Amazon. After 2 days of trying to find out what was wrong and putting in another a new motherboard , he was able to find out it was my NEW intel I9900k that was diffective. After all that he also installed a New 850watt power supply. His Rate is a Flatrate . Other shops where charging me 3x more . Thx Daniel. read more

Daniel change my SSD and diagnosed my computer at a very reasonable price.

I only found Daniel recently and he has been a lifesaver for me. All these wonderful "tech" devices scare me to death, but Daniel knows his stuff and is very patient and thorough with those of us who do not.

Daniel fixed my Asus laptop. It had been dropped twice, the touchscreen was completely cracked and broken off one hinge. He fixed it in a timely manner, and at a fraction of what I was expecting to pay. He was very professional, super friendly and very communicative, so there were no surprises. I highly recommend his services. read more

I found my local computer repair guy. Not only did he fix my computer quickly and with great clarity about what was involved (I have built some computers before, but this Dell 8700 had problems beyond my diagnostic abilities at a certain point), but he did it for much less than I feared. He also turned it all around very quickly. Plus he took care of my 27" inch Samsung monitor that I had just decided to scrap because I figured the repair cost would be too much. He charged very little. It is really good to know he is there if I need him. The quotes I got from others were astronomical in comparison. read more

Daniel was super helpful and very decently priced. He responded to my inquiry really quick and I was able to get my laptop to him on the same day. Daniel replaced the keyboard on my 2012 ASUS Zenbook laptop for $45 (parts & labor), compared to Geek Squad, who quoted me $150. Definitely would go back to him with any computer repairs. read more

Great work and fair prices. I recommend Daniel to those needing computer repair. I am sure I will be using him again.

My laptop froze and wouldn't boot up again. Daniel responded very quickly - less than an hour after I messaged him through Yelp - and was able to take my computer the same day. He found a corruption in Windows and was able to fix it right away. I had my computer back that evening. He contacted me via text and very responsive. I will definitely contact him again with future needs! read more

Very good work and prompt. When I call Daniel he usually asks me if I can bring my computer right over to let him look at it. He fixes my problem that day or the next day. That's the best service I've ever received from a computer repair technician. Thanks Daniel. read more

Daniel did an excellent job working on my computer. I called endless computer companies inquiring about installing High Sierra on my MacBook and he was the only one who was able to assist me. The turn around time was also impressive! I will definitely be doing more business here! read more

Took my MacBook Air to Daniel last week for problem with my keyboard not responding. Daniel was able to replace the bad keyboard with a new one and update my operating system. The MacBook Air is now working like new again. Thanks again for the excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend him to other friends in the East Bay. read more
