Is Online Computer Repair Reliable

If you are having a problem with your computer and it’s no longer under warranty, you have two basic options for repairs:

One option is to fix the problem yourself, the other is to get someone else (a computer technician) to fix it for you.

There are two ways to go about having your computer repaired when you decided to hire a computer repair service: local computer repair services and online/remote computer repair services.

So how do you decide which option is best for you? Do you take your computer to one of the local computer repair shops to get it fixed or do you hire an online computer service to remotely connect to your computer to fix the problem?

It's not an easy decision but below are some questions you can ask yourself. These will help you to make the best choice.

Do You Suspect Serious Hardware Problem?

If you think your computer has a serious hardware issue, online computer repair service would not do much. The problems that prevent you from connecting to the Internet service will likely prevent a remote computer technician from connecting to your PC and hardware problems usually require on-site service to replace or repair the component that is causing the issue.

Some serious hardware problems include:

• Problems powering on the computer (Completely blank screen or no power to the computer at all, etc)
• Computer crashes or shuts down by its self
•  Problems that prevent Windows from loading (problems logging in to Windows, Blue Screen, etc.)
• Any issue connecting or accessing the Internet

If you're experiencing problems as mentioned above, I highly recommend seeking service from an on-site certified local computer technician.

How Fast do You Need Your Computer Fixed?

If you think your problem may be a software issue,getting computer help from an online computer repair service will be much faster than an on-site computer repair service.

You don’t have to unhook your computer and load it up in the car. You would not have to wait for a service person to visit your home or business. You are not bound to work within standard business hours. These are the best advantages of online computer repair services if you need your computer fixed fast.

An online computer repair technician might not be able to fix every computer problem under the sun, but if they can fix yours, they're often the better, and for sure the fastest, option.

How Fast is Your Internet Connection?

The majority of people use an"high speed" internet connection.But if you don’t, you should ask the online computer service if this will affect their ability to fix your PC.

It's possible that the process can work on a slower connection but it's not as reliable and it may extend the time, and cost, required to fix your computer remotely.

You should not have any problem working with a remote computer service expert if you have a reliable, high-speed Internet connection.

With the help of above points you can make the right decision based on the specific problem you need to deal with.
