Recommended PC shops in town?

[Superesc]

ok I have been out of the PC "tuning" scene since I fell in love with Mac But now my Dad's PC is in need of some fixing (damn thing don't turn on... like no movement at all... I try replaceing powersupply but thtat don't work...soo..) and I need some recommendations as to which shops are good in town. The only one I have dealt with is Memory Express and Alberta Computer Warehouse (back 2 years ago...) ... Any opinions??????

MemEx is great.

Good PR and prices.

Techtronics isn't bad ether, newer place, just opened up in the fall last year...

[Superesc]

Ah yes Techtronic, is that the one on 32nd Ave NE?

[speedracer]

Any lights when the power is turned on?

[Superesc]

nope, except on the MB there's this little LED that goes on... so I think there is power going through, just the MB not turning over.

4 star computers

no way.. techtronic has the WORST service ever.. Period.. If you want service, the best place is no doubt Firestorm..

www.firestorm.ab.ca

They are for sure the best price in town * w/ the best price*

[Ben]

Firestorm is great!

I merely said Techtronics as a place, Memory Express has had great service EVERY time I have gone, as well as many of my friends

[legendboy]

Darius Computers, talk to Eric, the owner.

Fat Dave on this board (fellow SLK 32 AMG'er) is the ex-president/owner of Firestorm... he left the company recently...

I second that

[HyperPup]

try this... turn the switch on the PS off for 30 secs ...
then turn the ps back on..

then try starting the computer via the button on the front.

mines like that, have to do it everytime i want to turn the thing on , its annoying...

I also agree that www.memoryexpress.net has great service and great prices!!!

I've known the owner (Minh) since he first started up and he has always gone out of his way for me.

does the mobo beep at all when u put power to it? if it does grab your mobo's usermanual and check to see what the beeps are indicating... might be your memory is shot, happened to me, i had a bad boot and it blew a chunk out of my ram on my old comp that is....

[Superesc]
