Hard disk failure is not uncommon, and will eventually lead to data loss. Traditional mechanical hard drives are magnetic, meaning they will slowly wear out over time. And while a decent hard drive will usually last for a few years under the right conditions, failure is inevitable at some point.
Even non-mechanical solid state drives can fail from time-to-time though, so regardless of the type of hard drive you're using; it is paramount that you make regular backups of your important data.If you are experiencing any of these issues, and you do not have a backup, it is important you seek professional assistance as soon as possible.

I got tricked by a "Microsoft Technician" who infected my PC with Ransomware. Fortunately for me after calling several computer service companies, I reach Scott Proctor of Computer Runner who said that he thought that he could solve my problem. He did just as he said! He was able to download all by data files elsewhere, and then scrub the Ransomware out of my hard drive. Then he loaded my data files back into my PC. I lost most of my programs, but Microsoft 10 and Microsoft Office were all there. I am so grateful for Scott Proctor and Sam Azadian for having the knowhow and fortitude to tackle this

I have used Computer Runner twice this year and they have been great. First time was to transfer data from some old hard drives that I could not access. Second time was my kids gaming PC bombed out - windows wouldn’t load. They work quickly, they explain in layman’s terms what the issues are, and took the time to discuss with my 12-year old what he should and shouldn’t be doing in order to maintain the health of his PC. All at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend. If you’ve got a tech issue, don’t hesitate - drive over and walk right in to this place!

The hinges on my laptop seized up and it couldn't close anymore without causing damage to the casing, + the screen was ready to pop off the hinges. I did some really brief research for a laptop repair place and found these guys, the reviews seemed good so I took it in. Took three days (I had to call them back to ask about it) and cost me $142 or so to fix the hinges on my screen (no idea what they did to fix it but it certainly involved removing the bezel and opening up the upper panel). They said I should minimize opening and closing it at all (lol, it's a laptop though).

I stumbled onto this gem. I found them on yelp and went there because they are local to me. Turns out this place is great. I highly recommend them. They have fantastic service and great knowledge. They helped me with a complicated computer repair (hardware) and a very involved date recovery and transfer. They are the first place I will go in the future. 5 STARS!

My son wanted to build his own gaming computer. I thought, what could go wrong with that? Ha!
He watched a YouTube video to figure out what components he needed. We ordered the components online. He and I put the computer together in a few hours.
When we went to switch it on...nothing happened. No power. No lights. No display. Nothing, nada, bupkis. We took everything apart and put it back together with no luck. My son did some troubleshooting and determined it was either the motherboard, CPU, or power supply. Wow, son, that really narrows it down for dear old Dad.

Had a leak and failure in my liquid cooling system for my desktop causing damage to my motherboard and gpu. Not only did they replace the cooling system, they also did an amazing job cleaning and repairing the individual components. Saved me a ton of money since I didn't have to replace either motherboard or gpu. It was all done very quickly and the price was fair.

Scott and Sam were great! Sam worked diligently on my 12 inch retina MacBook. The laptop would no longer turn on. I was quoted an outrageous $600 to repair it at Apple, quite literally half of what I originally paid for it. They quoted us a really, really fair price. Considering that they replaced all the parts in it, I don't think they made any money off of fixing it for me at all. I highly recommend taking your computer/laptop here. They do a great job of describing everything they are doing (the tech talk is quite extensive). :) Will be coming back for any other repairs I might need!

My Lenovo laptop that was less than 1 year old stopped working (loop of Microsoft blue screens of death) and these guys were able to recover all my data from it. It took days of effort to do it but they charged me the originally quoted amount that was very reasonable especially when compared to other places like Best Buy.
I would highly recommend their services. Data recovery is not cheap but their pricing is good and they seem like honest, hard working people the really value their customers.

These guys are awesome. My laptop was not working at all after I had dropped it, I took it somewhere else and they asked $40 only for inspection. These guys didn't ask anything for inspecting and after diagnosis they called and explained the problem in details and asked me whether I wanted them to repair it or wanted it back.
The great thing about them they fix the problem on components level and don't go for motherboard change immediately.
The bill was very reasonable, happy to had their services.

10/10! They repaired the device that I'm using to write this review. My laptop was completely dead. I initially took my laptop to Geek Squad, but they wanted to charge me $360 "at the least" to replace my motherboard. Computer Runner was able to repair the motherboard with parts they already had in stock--and gave me a discount! I ended up paying just over $100. The customer service is exceptional. If you have any hardware or software issues at all, I definitely recommend Computer Runner.

My overall experience was great! I'm not a computer expert, so I can't really say whether the service I was charged with was at a fair price. Nevertheless, everything else was great: customer service, repair, and flexibility. I'd recommend this place to anybody. Tip: it will be even more helpful if you know more about your computer issues going in.

Exceptional service and price. The hinges on my laptop were broken and the computer was unable to close. I called several computer repair shops, including 2 big box stores. Sam and his staff do not make you feel like a number. They take personal care and pride in their service.
I received my laptop today in good as new condition, on time and for the price quoted. The price was below ALL 7 other quotes I received and the work was impeccable. Support this business. We need a place like this calls you by name and treats you with respect.

I can't tell you how fortunate I am to have found Computer Runner! My laptop keyboard was broken and I needed it fixed ASAP. He quoted me an amount and even though it took a lot more effort to fix it, he didn't charge me more, even though he could have! I had my laptop back very quickly and everything is working 100%! I'll definitely be recommending this place from here on out! Thank you so much Computer Runner!

Absolutely fantastic! Best computer repair store in the Orange County region. Not only do they get the job done but the customer service and quality is second to none.
Shoutout to Scott and Sam, they care A LOT to ensure everything is perfect, and I highly recommend anyone to visit Computer Runner for repairs, much better service than I had received at Geek squad or elsewhere. Also their knowledge towards computers and tech is very impressive so your products are in good hands.
Fast, efficient and all round quality service. 100% check it out.

They are great! I called in January after trying to cancel a Geeksquad appointment (they never answer their phone). I spoke with Sam about the two computers (laptop that wouldn't turn on and desktop tower), and he asked me to stop by. The drop off process was easy and they said they would let me know what the issue was before fixing anything. The prices he quoted me for both were reasonable and so was the timeframe to diagnose the issue. I decided to leave my laptop only as it is my main computer; it was ready within a week. Easy, affordable, and good customer service!

Amazing repair shop!
To begin, I am reasonably technical and have done a bit of work on my laptop (HDD install, wifi card replacement, RAM replacement, and numerous software related stuff). That being said, I snapped a piece of my hinge cover (which bugged the crap out of me) and I was planning on replacing it myself. I even ordered the part but after looking at the scope of the work however and having further pieces snap off of the hinge cover/palmrest, I decided needed it fixed - and quick.
I called around to some big-name stores - who all didn't perform the "scope" of work

My Dad has been using Computer Runner for many years, and has always been extremely happy with them.
I'm pretty technical, but they've saved me big time when components on a motherboard fried, and also when a complicated Dell RAID setup stopped working correctly and it was a chicken-or-the-egg situation to get it running again so that you could get it running again...
Very responsive, very nice people, and less expensive than they should be for the quality they provide. Can't ask for more than that! Will use them forever...

Wow. You know how you want to find that shade tree auto mechanic you can trust with your car? Well Sammie is that guy for your technology equipment.
Not the easiest place to find, tucked away at the end of a cul de sac not far from the Roma d'Italia restaurant. But I'm sure the rent is reasonable, which keeps prices down. The shop is fairly small but reassuringly chock full of tech equipment and test gear.
