Can Mobile Geeks help me with buying a computer or other hardware?
If you are shopping for a new PC or Mac and are overwhelmed by the choices, it also pays to consult a Mobile Geeks IT expert to help you find the perfect computer for your home or business needs … and at the best possible price.

Do you provide software and hardware?
We can source and install any software and hardware that you might require. Most of what you may need we will have on hand, however, on occasion, we may need to order a specialist piece of equipment. Our extensive industry networks and a long-standing relationship with reputable suppliers will generally ensure that you will not need to wait long.
How do I prevent data loss?

So, do not wait until it is too late – call us today and we will put systems in place to avert a data loss crisis.

What should I do if my computer crashes?
If your computer crashes, will not start or you get the infamous ‘blue screen of death’, then the more you try to turn it on or ‘fix’ it, the worse you may make the problem. The best thing to do in this situation is to take a deep breath, step away form the computer and call in a specialist. This is especially important if you think you may have lost some data. The more you try to fix the problem the more you will increase the chances of your computer writing over the sector where your data is stored. If this happens, your data may not be able to be retrieved. Whoever you call to help you, make sure they have experience and a good reputation in the industry.

If you choose to have us provide you with the data back up service, additional charges may apply.
