A Computer Hero
If you have a computer question that you think others might also have, please email me and let me know about it. A Computer Hero came to Corvallis in 2009, arriving from Orange County, CA, where the company thrived for ten years. Bob, in this company and for corporations, has worked on computers, software, and networking for more than 30 years.

My work is efficient, knowledgeable, considerate, and remarkably cost-effective. If I cannot help you on-site, I offer equipment pickup and return for no extra charge. Shut it down. Remove the battery, if accessible. If the battery feels hot, it's probably overcharging due to age. However, the most common problem causing overheating is the need for a professional disassembly and cleaning.

He came by and picked up my machine, as well as dropped it off on a Saturday. Very fair; would highly recommend to anyone looking for fair and personable computer repair. Keep it up, bob! When we discussed my issues, we originally thought the problem and fix would involve an offsite hardware upgrade.

However, the most common problem causing overheating is the need for a professional disassembly and cleaning. Over time dust, pet hair, cigarette smoke, etc., can build up on the fan and cooling vents, causing slow air flow.

Bob repaired the damage I did by tripping over my power cord at a very reasonable cost and in a timely manner. He even picked it up and delivered. Thank you Bob.

Picks up phone and hangs up. I guess this hero does not want any new business.
Edit after update.
A few successive calls showed this to be untrue. Good luck mate.

Really nice place with professional guy! I got a screw stuck on my laptop when I tried to install hard drive by myself. I have been to other stores in downtown. They told me that no-one can get that screw out, however , computer hero did it in half hour! I really appreciate. Wish this place can be known by more people!

Lost key data on my desktop computer, including a ten years' worth of painstakingly gathered material for a planned book. Apparently failed to conduct thorough backup of register before working with it. Not recommended for difficult jobs (this was to remove the infamous A-Secure malware). May do OK on simpler tasks.

Excellent service! I still can't believe Bob was able to pick up my laptop from my work the morning I called and then fixed everything so I had the laptop later that same day. This saved me so much time and stress. And I so appreciate great service like this. Definitely recommend to others.

Bob has done a great job for us, and he is reasonably priced. He's set up our server and a few of our computers too.
