My computer is broken – what should I do? 
Automatic translate
There is a well-known problem that often becomes more difficult to solve than it actually is. This is due to the dominance of dishonest private “masters”. Mailboxes are littered with advertisements from these people and the entrances to our entrances are plastered.
Yes, yes, these are the same “neighborhood” computer scientists who are ready to turn any computer maintenance task into a “serious problem”, the solution of which supposedly “costs” a lot of money. In fact, these are scammers who denigrate the work of an entire industry with their activities.
What to do if you need help with your computer? The main thing is to pass by all the advertisements that greet you at the entrance door or in the mailbox; under current conditions, in Russia this is almost a 100% guarantee of fraud. No matter how strange it may sound, it will be much cheaper to contact a real computer help specialist , a company with a name, a website and ready to be responsible for the actions of its employees.
What problems does urgent computer help solve?
First of all, these are situations when a computer or laptop does not turn on at all, turns on but does not load the operating system, or some computer components do not work - various peripheral devices, monitor, sound, etc.
The second most popular block of requests is connecting and setting up a printer, scanner, and network devices. No less often, people need help installing and configuring software or reinstalling the operating system while retaining old data and some programs.
How much does good computer help cost?
Please note that there may be some really expensive steps in the process of working on your problem. For example, if real equipment repair is required (especially if we are talking about technical malfunctions of a laptop or video card).
What distinguishes an honest specialist from a fraudster is that he always first announces the price and then does the work, and, of course, that he offers you only those works that are really required to solve the problem and will actually be completed.
Working with software, as a rule, requires the time of a sought-after professional technician, so the block of work on installing and configuring software is not the cheapest in the price list of companies offering computer assistance.
As an illustration, on the right you see the price list of the New Style 21 company for diagnostics.
