Expert In-Home Computer Service & Repair

Yes. APCS provides in-home computer service for home users and home offices, including desktop PCs, laptops, Macs, printers, Wi-Fi, software, and home network issues. The goal is to diagnose and resolve problems where your technology is actually used, reducing the need to disconnect equipment, transport devices, or recreate network problems elsewhere.

Common in-home repairs include computers that will not power on, laptop charging issues, slow performance, virus or malware concerns, Wi-Fi instability, printer setup, software installation, hard drive and SSD problems, RAM upgrades, overheating, keyboard issues, and power supply replacement. APCS also supports data recovery and home-office network troubleshooting when files or connectivity are at risk.

Yes. APCS repairs both Mac and PC systems, including desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, business workstations, and custom builds. Services may include hardware diagnostics, software troubleshooting, power-related repairs, drive replacement, battery and charger evaluation, performance tuning, and Wi-Fi support. The technician evaluates the specific model and symptoms before recommending the most practical repair path.

For some repair categories, APCS lists a $100 diagnosis fee, and in certain cases that fee may cover the resolution of the issue. Final cost depends on the confirmed problem, required parts, travel considerations, and repair complexity. The diagnostic process is designed to identify the real fault before parts are replaced, helping prevent unnecessary expenses.

Yes. APCS handles no-power problems, including failed desktop power supplies, damaged laptop chargers, bad DC jacks, USB-C charging port issues, battery faults, and possible motherboard problems. The technician checks the full power path first, then confirms whether the issue is the power supply, adapter, battery, charging circuit, drive, or another component.

Standard availability is Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. APCS is closed on weekends, but emergency service may be provided on a case-by-case basis. Emergency requests often involve business interruption, failed drives, dead systems, urgent data access, or power-related issues that prevent a client from working or retrieving critical files.

APCS provides data recovery support for failing hard drives, SSDs, laptops that died before backup, power-surge damage, and systems affected by power supply or charger failures. The repair approach often stabilizes the computer or safely removes and images the drive first, reducing the chance of further damage before attempting file recovery.

APCS serves the North Bay Area, including Healdsburg, San Rafael, Windsor, Boyes Hot Springs, Marin County, Sonoma County, Mendocino County, and the Hwy. 101 corridor from southern Marin through Sonoma and up to Mendocino. Longer distances may involve travel time charges depending on location and service requirements.
