How does this work?
This service is basically a "pay-per-minute" tech support service. We match you
and your problem with a qualified tech who helps you fix your problem without you having to wait on hold,
or take your computer to a repair shop.
We have a variety of ways we can help you with your problem. The primary way is to contact
you over the phone. While on the phone with you, we may ask you to install "remote desktop sharing" software that
allows our techs to directly manipulate your computer system while you watch. You will not be billed for the time
it takes to set up this software, and doing so may greatly reduce your billed time, as the tech is able to more quickly
diagnose and fix your problem.
Common problems that require telephone tech support include:
- Problems with spyware or viruses harming your computer or your computer's performance.
- Help with installing software, or even hardware.
- Computer Maintenance, to improve your computer's performance.
- Diagnosing and fixing problems with connecting to, or staying connected to, the Internet.
- Setting up home networking.
To put it bluntly, we can help you with just about ANYTHING, except tasks that would require us to
actually BE there with you. We can help you build a new system from scratch, walk you through a
reinstall of your operating system, help you find the right drivers for that new piece of hardware, or even TRAIN you
on the use of a piece of software if you'd like!
Another way we can help is through single-charge email help. You can use this option to get feedback
from a qualified tech on technical questions. This system is designed for questions that don't require a walk-through
over the phone, and are more geared towards getting expert advice rather than troubleshooting or technical support.
Here are a few examples:
- "I am wanting to buy a new computer for school, and I don't know if I should buy a Dell
or a Gateway. What questions should I ask, what hardware specs should I look for, and what
price range should I shoot for?
- "I want to upgrade my system to make it faster. I can only spend $200. What are my
options?"
- "My brother says I shouldn't get a Lite-On™ DVD ROM because they are
poor quality. What is your opinion of Lite-On™ DVD ROM drives?"
(For the record, Lite-On is a good company. We're just using them as an example
here.)
Email questions are billed on a flat "per-response" charge.
(Billed responses may not directly answer your question, but may instead be asking you for
more information. Please realize that knowing the right questions to ask is a technical skill,
and this is the reason we bill for them.)
As you can see, we welcome just about any technical question! We LOVE answering them!
