- After 3 days (and a lot of lost work and after work time) I stumbled across this tech guy who promises to fix the syncing issue or you don’t pay him. The charge is a flat $175 but only if he fixes the problem. I am an attorney so the 25 hours of lost work time was quite a loss. If you are in a business or value your time – check him out.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! Tell him Andrew referred you P.S. This phone is even more awesome once you get the sync issues worked out!!! - Thanks for your help yesterday. I tried it over the night and had a couple quick questions.
On my blackberry, the email just pushed onto the device. I have it set for “push” but it doesn’t seem to update very often and I have to push the update button on the bottom left. Also, if the device is asleep (by pushing the button on the top of the unit) does it shut off updating email? -Mark - Definitely , I was very pleased with the service you provided. -Nalini

Ok, you get the point. We are back to another dust saga! The 1930′s are definitely here. First, Bear Stearns. Now, Freddie Mac. And, for computers, the Great Dust Bowl!
Computer repair call from Mesa, Arizona, complaining about blue screens and spontaneous PC reboots. Well, I only spent 10 minutes on the machine before I experienced my first spontaneous reboot. I scratch my head for a couple of minutes and went down the virus route. My assumption was wrong. No viruses, a very very clean system. So, I decided to delve further. I booted into the computer’s BIOS. Noticed the internal temperature at 140+. Pretty darn hot! Opened the case. Again, pretty clean. Few dust bunnies. However, there was immense amount of dust on the CPU heat sink, preventing the fan from properly doing its job. A cleaned heat sink did the trick! Happy customer repair customer now.

Windows XP Wallpaper ruse9 Jul 2008
I was summonsed to help an embarrassed SEO tech, who had his Windows XP tropical vacation desktop background replaced with a Chippendales web picture. Real nice for a macho dude. These types of pranks flow freely at this office. Each programmer has a “little boy toy”, which is a simple small squeaky toy. Strange, but I guess this is the type of team building that occurs in small technical office today, where it is a dual to “steal” and hide the toy. I have even witnessed the group trying to hide one of the toys in a doughnut on the rafters, under the seat, etc. Some of these pranks were actually funny, especially the stuffing of the doughnut. Anyone with an office story to tell?
4th of July Weekend Computer Blues!6 Jul 2008
Just when the fireworks ended, computer problems begin. First, I received a call from my cousin, the Martinez’s, who reside in beautiful city Maricopa, Arizona. They were having troubles connecting to their Netgear wireless access point from a Vista Home laptop PC. After 10 minutes of monkeying around, a decision was made to allow me to remotely access their computer through the LOGMEIN service. I had them follow the beautiful instructions found on my Computer Repair Service blog page (http://computerrepairservice.net/blog/remote-tele-computing-via-logmein/). While remotely accessing their PC, I had him reset his Netgear access point to factory defaults by pressing the reset button on the back of the wireless router for about 10 seconds. Afterwards, I was able to log into his Netgear access point using the default user id and password of userid=admin password =password . Then I established the SSID and created a wep key. Amazingly enough within 10 minutes, he was back up and running again on his Vista Laptop using the new WEP key from his Netgear router.
5 Minutes later, an excellent computer business repair customer contacted me from Chino, California reporting his clone pc would not boot after installing windows service pack3. He was receiving the blue screen upon boot. He tried unsuccessfully booting to “last known good configuration” and “safe mode”. Both modes did not work. I searched Google and found one person experiencing similar issues after installing SP3 with a mouse driver conflict. So, I had him remove all computer hardware connected to his PC, including mouse, keyboard, printers, etc. One more reboot, but still no success. This time, I had him boot from his Windows XP Home Installation CD. I had him select the Recovery Repair Console. I had him type chkdsk /r from the console to locate bad sectors and recover readable information. Computer is booting again. Now, I can go back to relaxing in my chair on my front porch, while enjoying some nicely squeezed lemonade. It is so beautiful to watch my young children play at our local Morrison Ranch park. Definitely a nice break from computer repair work in Gilbert, AZ.
