We are a Chicago based repair shop specializing in PCs, Laptops, Gaming Gear, and Mobile Devices. Computer Prodigies has been servicing the Chicago area for over 20 years. Just as many of the best business ventures, Computer Prodigies has it's humble beginnings. In the mid 90s when most people didn't really understand the internet or technology; the Cardoza household was already tech savvy.
If your computer is slow, filled with pop ups, or inaccessible; you may be the victim of a malware or virus attack. These programs can not only damage your computer but can also lead to identity theft including financial and government information. We can help you resolve these issues without losing your personal files.
Our solutions don't come off a clip board. We've helped out thousands of individuals who were let down by the Apple store. Our diagnostic team excels at finding your issue with a level of precision that is hard to come by. This means replacing individual chips or resistors where others would replace entire motherboards or recommend an entirely new device.
Upon receipt, we'll provide you with a FREE estimate for the repair as well as payment info. If approved we'll repair and ship your device back immediately after payment submission.

I came in first thing in the morning and Justin got my iPhone 8+ front screen fixed in under an hour. Beside the excellent service, Justin is really nice and was explaining everything I needed to know about the repairs being done and the warranty that comes with it. Had great screen protectors and cases for sale too!

Amazing service every time I’ve had a device brought to them for a repair whether a apple phone/device or a Nintendo switch also. Quick and friendly work. Definitely recommend them to anyone I know that need a quick fix to their phone or something beyond their knowledge of tech. Shout out to Justin

Computer Prodigies staff were very helpful and answered all my questions concerning my MacBook and everyone provided excellent customer service. Not being a tech savvy customer, they took the time to explain various functions and answered all of my questions. The staff were also very friendly and they were prompt in completing the repairs to my computer. Finally, they offered a “great” price for the repairs needed. I highly recommend the service.

Thank you Justin! I brought in my grandsons PS4. He totally fried the hard drive. I brought it in Wednesday late afternoon and he had it done on Monday. You guys also worked on my old Apple laptop a few years ago, and for as old as it is it’s still working great because of you. Apple told me to get rid of it it’s to old. You guys are the best. Thank you!

I regret... NOT GOING TO COMPUTER PRODIGIES FIRST!
I went on a camping trip and lost my phone, turns out I left it on a pick up bed and the driver left with it. It ended up getting tossed on the road and it was run over countless times!
We are loyal customers of Computer Prodigies but never thought that my Iphone 11 could be brought back from the dead, so I ended up buying an SE. The SE is not the same! A $400 phone cannot compare to a $1200 one. My husband ended up consulting with CP and they gave it a good prognosis.
I just got my 11 back yesterday and apart from the damage to the edges from

They did an amazing job on my 27inch iMac. It was diagnosed within the hour and I believe it could have been done that day if not for a special part that had to be ordered. The computer was back in my hands in no time and at a very reasonable price from now on I will trust no one but computer prodigies with all of my devices. They have a repeat customer in me. Do your self a favor and get done right the first time. Come here ASAP!

I would highly recommend taking in any computer or device to these guys!! Our PC wasn't turning on and they investigated thoroughly and figured out what was wrong, but because it was a part that we had to return and they didn't actually do the work to fix it, they didn't even charge us anything!! But they were still happy to offer a ton of very useful advice. So knowledgeable and friendly and fair!

Excellent service! I had an issue with my iPhone XR. I couldn't hear people during a phone call. They always sounded muffle, like if I had the volume set to a low setting which I did not. Came here and they fix it in 30min. Will be definitely be coming here for future issues :)

This is an excellent shop for your computing needs. I took on a project to help my son build a gaming computer, I had to go to them to help us TWICE ! Each time they were very patient and unpretentious about addressing my issues and gave great recommendation on next steps! I will definitely return with my computer needs.

Excellent Service. Glad I found this spot so close to home. They serviced my iMac when no one else would. They specialize in APPLE Products which are the only products I buy. Believe it or not, Apple Stores DO NOT service any device older than 3 years! Sad but true. But Thanks to Computer Prodigies, my 2010 iMac now runs LIKE NEW!!! Yes I said 2010! Almost 10 years old and the thing is a power beast! I would Highly recommend this place.

I rarely give out five stars. But these guys fixed my iPhone, shattered screen, on the spot, as advertised.

Thirty Minutes and $100 later, I'm back on the road and my iPhone 6 is good as new.

The guys in the shop were super-friendly, helpful and easy to deal with.

Highly recommended.

I brought my desktop in and I needed a new hard drive. They replaced it and installed windows on it. But I wish they wouldn't have installed all the unnecessary software. Also I tried to upgrade to windows 10 while Microsoft was giving away upgrades for free, and it said I didn't have a license key for windows 8, so they must have used a cracked version of windows 8 when installing it.

Edit: I called Justin, the owner, and he was very helpful. He's giving me a windows 10 product key free of charge. Offered to fix everything himself, but I moved recently, and I don't want

They did a great job for me. I had a problem with updates on windows 8.1 ( among many other problems) They cleaned it up, got my updates fixed and installed window 10 for me and I was charged the price I was quoted. I would give you 6 stars if I could.
I'll be back.

My $1500 gaming/work laptop was hideously infected with malware, adware, trojans, the lot. I looked up some good tech repair shops in the SW side and this place caught my eye because of the consistently perfect ratings. And for a good reason. I brought my rig on Wednesday and got it back by the end of the next day running like new. No more popups every time I browse the web, no more annoying hyperlinks in all the wrong places, and best of all, its as fast as when i first got her. And for a VERY reasonable cost with no gimmicks or hidden fees. I highly recommend these guys to anyone in Chicago with

I went to this place about a year ago when my 4 year old Dell Studio 1555 would not turn on. Justin was the one who attended to me. The main reason I took it there was because this was the only place I found that offered free diagnostics. I wanted to figure out if it was worth getting this laptop fixed or just buy a new one. Obviously, that was going to be a difficult decision without actually getting it looked at. Justin was a practical man and knew consumers' attitude towards getting computers fixed.

He took the laptop, gave me a holding receipt and told me he would call me later that
