Computer Repairs in Cork City?

OmegaRed

I’m looking for a place that is very reliable and trustworthy and won’t rip me off. Any suggestions?

Tony H

first of all keep away from the place in the south terrace unless you have lots of money . what do you need fixed , i know a bloke that lives in cobh and works in the city , if you tell me what you need fixing i can ask him how much and how long

PowerHouseDan

Yeah your better off gettin someone to do it, I fix Computers Part time but i wouldnt have the time part time is turning into full time. What exactly is wrong?

OmegaRed

My power supply fried. I'm getting a brand new one but I’m just afraid that it'll happen again. I’ve a lot of power running in the case. The strange thing was an audio cable (which I’ve been told carries no power) started to melt. its unplugged from the MoBo now but I’m just afraid something will happen again,

So I want someone that really knows what they are doing to give it a good look over and replace the audio cable and just make sure everything is running smoothly!

if you need an exact build of the machine let me know

Tony H

do you know if the power supply took anything else with it when it went?

OmegaRed

the ide cable going to the DVD drive, thats been replaced but the dvd drive makes a strange sound when in use, so i'm thinking that may be screwed a little. It works tho, just not as fast!

Tony H

if you want the number of the bloke i know i will pm you with it , but as its only the audio cable you want to replace you should give it a go yourself
ps when you get a new psu have a look at the bequiet ones from HITIDE in dublin they are the biz , quiet and really good quality build with a 3 year guarentee

Hi OmegaRed,Where are you based in cork?I am in carrigaline and do repairs and building computers for 12 years for friends etc and i should have a audio cable and if you are near maybe i can help you out.

OmegaRed

that would be great mate,

i'm on living towards blarney but i'd have no problem no problem with getting down to carrigaline. could u pm me your mobile number and i'll shoot you a txt when i get the psu and we'll arange something?

kmb

No problem i may even come to you.What specs are your computer and what psu are you thinking of getting?Make sure the +5v value is mininum 35 or 40 preferably.
I have seen big wattage power supplies with 30 which is not much good.

I must admit i cannot understand why the cable would have got damaged unless it got caught up with the fan and heat sink.

regards kieran
