Computer Repairs Mont Albert
When something goes wrong, it rarely picks a convenient moment. A power outage knocks out the family desktop. A MacBook stops charging two days before a work trip. A virus slips onto a shared computer and sits unnoticed for weeks.
Our geeks are in Mont Albert and the surrounding streets regularly, and we treat every callout with the care this suburb expects. Call 1300 570 417. Same-day service is available in most cases.

Power Surge and Outage Damage Repair
Summer storms hit Mont Albert harder than most inner suburbs expect. A power surge through an unprotected power board can damage a motherboard, corrupt a hard drive, or wipe a machine that was working perfectly an hour earlier.
Our geeks assess surge-damaged devices on-site before recommending anything. Some machines recover fully with the right repair. Others need data recovery before anything else happens. Getting the assessment right the first time saves Mont Albert households from replacing devices that were actually salvageable.
Booking Doesn’t Need to Be the Hard Part
A quick call to 1300 570 417 or a message through our contact page is enough to get something in the diary, often for the same day. Our geeks confirm the price before touching anything, and that figure holds regardless of how long the job ends up taking. No revised quotes halfway through, no add-ons nobody asked for.
Apple Device Backup Before the Box Hill Store Visit
The nearest Apple store sits in Box Hill, a short drive from most Mont Albert addresses. Before any MacBook goes in for hardware repair, a full backup protects everything on the device. Our geeks come to the address, back up the machine completely, and restore it properly once it returns.
We also handle the macOS issues that never needed a manufacturer repair to begin with. Logic board diagnostics, battery health assessments, Apple ID recovery, and slow performance after a macOS update all get sorted during a single on-site visit.
Home Network Setup for Heritage Homes on Hamilton Street
Mont Albert’s period homes create wireless coverage challenges that newer construction doesn’t. Thick brick walls between rooms, high decorative ceilings, and multi-level layouts all absorb signals before it reaches the study or the upstairs bedroom.
Our geeks assess the full property layout rather than defaulting to a generic extender recommendation. The right solution depends entirely on the specific home. Getting it wrong just moves the dead zone to a different corner of the house.

Can a computer recover from power surge damage?
Often yes, depending on which components took the hit. Our geeks assess the device on-site before recommending repair or replacement, and prioritise data recovery before anything else on machines with important files.
Do you back up MacBooks before they go into the Box Hill Apple store?
Yes. Our geeks come to the Mont Albert address, back up everything completely, and restore the device once it returns from repair. Most people book this before the store visit rather than hoping the machine comes back intact.
Why does Wi-Fi disappear in certain rooms of my period home?
Thick brick walls and decorative plaster ceilings absorb wireless signals significantly more than modern materials. Our geeks map coverage across the full property and recommend a solution that genuinely reaches every room.
Can you fix a computer that stopped working after a storm or power outage?
Yes. Power surge damage is one of the more common calls from Mont Albert during summer storm season. Our geeks diagnose exactly what was affected and advise honestly on the best path forward before any repair work begins.
